THE REVIEWS

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "It kept me on the edge of my seat and made it impossible to put the book down. And that cliffhanger ending?! I was literally yelling, "WTFFFFFF?!" 😭 Because that is not AT ALL WHAT I WAS EXPECTING TO HAPPEN 🫠🥹 Cannot wait for book 2! Definitely recommend ✨"

    — Yanisha, Goodreads Review

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "It’s one of those stories where you completely forget you’re reading because you’re so consumed by the world and everything that is happening with Ksenia. A truly unforgettable dark fantasy! Highly highly recommend!"

    — Milia

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "There were so many twists and secrets revealed that it kept me on my toes, kept me wanting more. And speaking of wanting more, Bohdan and Ksenia, the chemistry and intensity between the two of them only grows more as their little cat-and-cat game continue. There is no cat-and-mouse game between them, they both grapple with trying to one up each other at every chance they get. I devoured Hellbound, I couldn’t get enough. I didn’t want to reach the end as I have so many questions I need answers to! So now, I sit and wait for book 2."

    — Jennah, Goodreads Review

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I was sooo excited for this book, and it absolutely blew my expectations out of the water! Hellbound has such an addicting, interesting and unique plot! i was enthralled the entire time....this has perfect pacing and it made the story so well balanced and addicting to read. THE ENDING. i need the next book NOWWW."

    — Emily, Goodreads Review

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I truly loved this book and I really hope that Ava Do will grant me an arc again when this series blows up (as it should)"

    — Neli, Goodreads Review

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Yes Literally just yes I’ve been dying for a book where the FMC is the villain and does questionable and batshit crazy things. AND THE AUTHOR HAS DELIVERED...This book was absolutely amazing, I tried to savor it but I ended up finishing this book at 5 am."

    — Brooke, Goodreads Review

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This book was such an incredible read and so refreshing. This isn’t your typical fantasy book. The FMC, Ksenia, isn’t a small fragile girl waiting for her MMC, Bohdan, to coming sweeping her off her feet as Fae Shadow Daddy. Instead Ksenia is the definition of female rage, vengeance, and has nothing to lose. And Bohdan is just a regular plain jane bastard Prince who is witty, smart, and always one step ahead. I also loved that every side character was necessary and all had a unique role in the plot. Not one character felt unnecessary."

    — Taylor, Goodreads Review

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Hellbound or HellYeah? Are you tired of the same fantasy romance tropes and need something new to freshen up your reading list? Look no further as I humbly present to you Hellbound! If you said true enemies to lovers, slow burn that burns so good, shocking twists and turns well Hellbound has that for you too. It also offers spice that keeps on spicing with yearning that is deadly just like the FMC."

    — Haley, Goodreads Review

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The final few chapters? I was pacing the room and frantically turning the pages because I needed to know what happened next. I'm officially unwell after the ending. Book two, please and thank you. 🙏"

    — Kat, Goodreads Review

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Not one time did I know where this story was going and I loved it! The first couple chapters alone had me absolutely stunned because we JUST started and it’s already getting crazy...I highly recommend this book if you support a woman’s rights AND wrongs. Let Ksenia take you on her journey of vengeance."

    — Cierra

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This book was a trip. When the author describes the main character (Ksenia) as the personification of female rage, she is correct and let me tell you that it was refreshing...The description of the characters, scenery, and events in this book make you feel like you are really there. The world building was magnificent as were the characters. I was captivated by the story!"
