She is peace and chaos.
She is terror knocking at the gates.
Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over…until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.
Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he's always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn't sure he can protect her from what's to come.
Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat—to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.

I feel like at first this was super slow but once it picked up and I got into the characters and world...I was having a great time.
✔️Frienemies to Lovers✔️"Little Love" pet name✔️Slow burn - with crazy tension ✔️Mafia ✔️Pet Sidekick ✔️He falls first I loved this book; it was an easy 5-star read. Scarlett always writes the best stories, and this was one of my favourite reads of the year. I also highly recommend reading Scarlett's notes at the back of the book; she has good insights regarding what women have had to deal with/are still dealing with. LilithLilith is such a great FMC; she is a woman who just wants to have control over life, her choices, and her body. Basic human rights. She wants to stand equally beside someone, not below. I think she represents the fight women have to go through to have freedom and rights. I loved her as a character. ZaharievThe definition of a green flag. He cares for Lilith and knows that she just wants her independence and the right to dictate her own life. He never wants to get in the way and stays back while also protecting her. He always makes sure she gets to decide. Coco started as a good character, Lilith's best friend, who is fun and caring. But I ended up not liking her. I wasn't a fan of her insinuating/blaming Lilith for the relationship between her and Hassenaah. It was pretty obvious that Hassenaah was jealous and was just like everyone else in the church when it came to her outlook on Lilith. I'm not much of a slow-burn fan, but holy was this ever worth it. The tension and build-up between the two characters was everything. I enjoyed this story so much. 100% recommend.
