WELCOME TO FEBRUARY'S BOOKS

   Good morning peeps, it is a beautiful day here on the farm snow is melting and the sun is shining. Today I have for you a dark enemies to lovers fantasy. SWORN TO RUIN HIM by Hp Mallory.

                            BOOK BLURB

  I came to Camelot to kill a king.

Instead, I became his obsession.

Magic is banned in Camelot—hunted, executed, erased.When my own power surfaces, I’m marked for death and forced to cross the infamous Standing Stones… right into the hands of Merlin himself.

Merlin turns me into something dangerous.

A weapon. A secret.

A woman trained to destroy a king.

Now I’ve returned to Camelot disguised as a male knight, competing in the Shadow Trials—the king’s brutal recruitment of elite warriors.

My mission is simple: destroy Arthur Pendragon from the inside.

Except Arthur isn’t what I expected...

Brutally handsome. Cruel.

Magnetic.

His icy blue eyes seem to see through me as easily as he wields the magic he condemns.

He wants my surrender. He gets my defiance.

And when he drags me to the edge of obedience, hatred starts to taste a lot like hunger.

Then there’s Lancelot—Arthur’s deadliest knight.

Sharp-eyed. Lethal.

Sinfully beautiful.

He's a predator in polished armor who watches me like he can see the woman beneath the disguise… and he's already deciding what to do with her.

In a court built on secrets and sharpened by betrayal, surviving the Trials means choosing the right enemy.

One wants to break me.

One wants to claim me.

And both would burn down kingdoms for the truth I’m hiding.

                      MY REVIEW 

   Welcome back to Camelot where King Arthur's is king and his lethal knight Lancelot who is lethal and stunningly beautiful. Arthur has banned magic in Camelot so Merlin has gone into hiding and training an assassin to take out King Arthur in the guise of a woman who is lethal . Disguised a man. She will hunt them down and survive the trials but she might just have to take the help of the one person she doesn't want help from and is wants to break her and the other wants to claim her . What would she do to survive . 

    This is an epic story with very well written characters . Guin is a warrior that has been training to destroy the man that killed her family. She is a fighter and will not take the stuff that these men will stop her from duty . Arthur is the king of Camelot and has gotten to big for his britches . He is intimidating and is obsessed with Sir Lorian , Guin in disguise . He is trying figure what or who she is . Lancelot is a force to reckon with , he is intimidating and brooding and is really kind of sexy .  They are such complex characters and you really don't know who to cheer for you will love them and hate them at the same time . I truly like them all 

  The author has written a lot of great books but this is her first foray into Romantasy.  A great retelling of King Arthur and Camelot. The book has multiple points of view and you can keep track of who is talking . I do really like this retelling and the way the author has handled them. 

The author does a great job of telling the lore and adding in the spice very well. The spice level is about a 4. This is a big book but don't let that stop you from diving in . You will get lost in the pages . So if you want a book to get through the rest of winter check it out .
