ARC Review - Wings So Wicked by Emily Blackwood

 Thank you so much Emily Blackwood for sending me this ARC!

Title: Wings So Wicked
Author: Emily Blackwood
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Series: Golden City (book #1)
Pages: 380

Synopsis:


Huntyr has fought for survival her entire life. Raised under Lord, the master of assassins in Midgrave, she has spent over twenty years learning to kill the blood-hungry, depraved vampyres that lurk in the darkness. Huntyr is the most lethal fae in the kingdom, which is why Lord chooses her to complete the next mission.

Huntyr must survive Moira Seminary and make it into The Golden City—the mysterious elite society of the few remaining angels and the magic fae who live in luxury with no crime, no poverty, and certainly no vampyres.

Only when she arrives at the academy, she’s forced to room with Wolf—the terrifying fallen angel who happens to know her assassin identity.

Determined to keep her head down in Moira, Huntyr tries her best to ignore Wolf. Over time, though, he not only becomes the only person she can lean on, but the one who might keep her alive through the life-threatening tests to get into The Golden City.

A wolf and his huntress. An academy designed to break them.

Huntyr will do anything to please the assassin master, but Wolf begins to test her in ways she never imagined. Is she strong enough to stick to the mission? Or will new truths—and alliances—put everything at risk?


Review & thoughts:


Wings So Wicked is the first book in a Fantasy Romance series with fae, vampyres, fallen angels, shocking plot twists and amazing slow burn romance that I’m already obsessed with! 

When Huntyr, an assassin brought up by a Lord to kill vampyres, is tasked with infiltrating the Golden City where only the elites are allowed to go, she knows her life is going to change forever. Forced to attend an academy and compete in deadly trials before she enters the city, she knows she can’t trust anyone, not even Wolf, her roommate and a dangerous fallen angel who saves her life on several occasions and to whom she is more attracted with each passing day. 

I was so excited to read this ever since I first heard about it and it definitely didn’t disappoint, it was so good! Wings So Wicked has everything I love in fantasy romance books: fascinating world building, perfectly paced and interesting plot, morally grey characters, strong heroine and amazing slow burn enemies to reluctant allies to lovers romance. I loved Huntyr and Wolf as main characters, they were well fleshed out and so interesting to read about and their romance was everything. It was definitely a slow burn but so worth the wait, I loved the tension and couldn’t wait until they gave in to their attraction and I must just say they were everything I hoped for and more. I also liked how the academy and trials were written, everything that happened kept me on the edge of my seat and I already can’t wait for the sequel to know what happens next to Huntyr and Wolf, with everything that happened at the end I already know it’s going to be even more interesting read. 

Wings So Wicked is a really great fantasy romance books with so many of my favorite tropes and a mind-blowing cliffhanger that has me already dying to read book 2. I definitely recommend it to everyone who enjoys this genre, it’s a really amazing book!
