This fantasy duology is perfect for summer 🐦‍🔥⛵️

I read this duology awhile ago but it's still one of my favorites! It's an enemies to lovers thats set on an island. And its by the same author as a Fate Inked In Blood if you liked that book! One of my favorite things about this duology is that you can read it just as the two, or you can continue and keep reading the spin off series she's been writing! I think these are so good and Danielle Jensens writing is definitely one of my favorites. Have you read the Bridge Kingdom books? If so do you like them or were they not for you?

I loved everything about this duology - the characters, the gothic setting, the card-based magic system. After reading one dark window, I was worried that two twisted crowns wouldn't hold up but I ended up liking it even more. #onedarkwindow #twotwistedcrowns #books #booksoflemon8

NO SPOILERS here This was nowhere near the feels that book one gave me, and Divine Rivals was a 5 star read for me. Divine Rivals was heavily on the romance and Ruthless Vows was more on the fantasy side. I still enjoyed Ruthless Vows, it’s probably my fault for expecting more of that intense
