Legend by Karina Halle is a wickedly enticing blend of spooky, steamy, and dark academia, putting a unique spin on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The chemistry between the Kat, Crane, and Brom is electric, igniting the pages with passion and intensity. The steamy scenes are off-the-charts, delivering a sizzling reading experience.
What sets Legend apart is its intricate plot and rich lore, adding depth and keeping the story engaging from start to finish. You'll find yourself pleasantly surprised by unexpected twists and turns. The connection between the three characters feels genuine and natural, making their dynamic a joy to read.
I'm already counting down the days for the next book in the Gothic Shade of Romance series. Halle strikes a perfect balance between romance, suspense, smut, and magic, creating a multi-layered story that keeps you hooked. I didn't want it to end!
Legend has easily secured a spot as one of my top reads this year. I'm eagerly looking forward to what Karina Halle has in store next.
