Found Family

We follow the journey of two rival journalists working as war correspondents in a war between the gods. When I tell you that this book just opened me up and exposed everything... I mean it. That’s just how much this book made me feel. I’m not kidding, from the very beginning, I knew that this book was going to hit me hard. It’s such a beautifully heartbreaking read, that also manages to have a cozy feel to it. 

“He found me on my darkest day. He followed me to war, to the front lines. He came between me and Death, taking wounds that were supposed to be mine.” - Iris

Iris and Roman. The tension between them is thick enough to cut, but they also have the best banter and so much angst. I went from being irritated with Roman, to falling in love with his absolute devotion to Iris. The end of this book wrecked me. It ends on a cliffhanger that left me with so many doubts about a character that I was hoping for the best.
