In Joveryn, humans hunt witches, and witches hunt vampires. Bronwen and her twin brother can siphon magic from others, but have had to hide their gift. Bronwen cannot ignore the feeling of magic coursing through her, so she fills it with a purpose: killing vampires and taking their magic. Until she meets August, a vampire who refuses to die. Bronwen and August must work together to uncover a way to right past wrongs, but the lines between right and wrong become blurry. Can witches and vampires work together, or will they destroy each other?

Quick Review (Spoiler Free)
I picked this up to catch up on the series so I could read the new one. I did NOT expect to be reading this in one freaking sitting. I stayed up until 430 am reading this.Â
The tension between the FMC and MMC in this was soooooo good. I was caught between them killing each other and falling in love. I couldn’t get enough. The story in this is so good so far. I cannot wait to start the next one.

Now, let's get into the details!!
(Note: Some text may appear to be blocked out, just highlight that text to read it.)
First of all, August is one of my favorite book boyfriends now. His sarcasm and confidence are just top notch! I would melt for this man.
I couldn't help but laugh at every challenge that he gave Bronwen. And I love how he called her Winnie with so much sarcasm at first, like a taunt, but then how it softened throughout the book.
And are you kidding me with that ending!!!! I feel like these two could burn worlds together. I am definitely going to be binge reading the next one too. I can already feel it.
