#BookReview: Terror at the Gates (Blood of Lilith, #1) by Scarlett St. Clair

Book Cover
Synopsis: She is the beginning and the end.

She is peace and chaos.

She is terror knocking at the gates.


Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over…until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.

Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he's always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn't sure he can protect her from what's to come.

Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat—to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.

My Review:
I want to say that I fell in love with this story but from the 1 star you can tell that did not happen.  I found this book to be super slow and the characters were just a no for me.  The magic system was so weird and made no sense. And the world building was just non existent.  Overall this book was a slog and I was just bored out of my mind.
