Critic Reviews

β€˜A dangerously romantic page-turner that pushes the enemies-to-lovers trope to the height of what it should be. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! This will keep you up long past bedtime with β€˜one more chapter’ syndrome’ Alwyn Hamilton, New York Times bestselling author of Rebel of the Sands

β€˜An unputdownable story with searing romance, buried secrets and shocking twists. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. At its heart, a tale of love, connection and empathy after the world as we know it has fallen. Breathtaking’ Rachel Greenlaw, author of Compass and Blade

'Once I started this book, I couldn’t stop. Every word of this fresh, exciting romantasy was addictive – so much that I ignored everything else in my life to finish it. Poett immediately pulls you into a fast-paced read with the forced-proximity enemies-to-lovers chemistry of my dreams. With a magic system based on intimacy and feminist themes so timely for today, The Enemy’s Daughter is perfect for fans of Rebel Witch and Divine Rivals and is my number one romantasy rec!! It's a must read!’ Emily Varga, author of For She Is Wrath

β€˜With high stakes and compelling prose, The Enemy’s Daughter is an addictive, creative and satisfying romantasy that won’t let you stop reading. Romance readers will devour this book’ Nova McBee, award-winning author of the Calculated series
