#BookReview: Throne in the Dark (Villains & Virtues, #1) by @akcaggiano @sourcebookscasa

Book Cover
Synopsis: His dark destiny awaits, and nothing will stand in his way. Except her.

Dark lord
Demon spawn
Prophesied realm destroyer

With a demon for a father, Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne’s destiny could be nothing but nefarious, and with the completion of his most vicious spell, Damien is on the cusp of fulfilling the evil inevitability all of his dark machinations have led to.

And then, her.

Bubbly
Obnoxious
Blonde

Harboring secrets of her own, a tiny yet troublesome thief calling herself Amma completely upsets Damien’s malevolent plans when she mistakenly gets chained to his side through magic, forcing him to drag her across the realm. Killing her would fix things, of course, but the nauseatingly sweet Amma proves herself useful on Damien's unholy crusade and then proves herself the source of something even more sinister: feelings.

Will Damien be forced to abandon his villainous birthright to help the tender thorn in his side? Or will he manage to overcome the virtue Amma insists on inspiring and instead cut it out at the heart?

My Review:

The villain-and-sunshine pairing in this one was a lot of fun. Damien is determined to embrace his dark destiny, while Amma is basically the complete opposite of everything he thinks he wants around him. Their forced proximity creates some genuinely funny moments, and I really enjoyed watching their relationship slowly develop.

The fantasy adventure kept things moving, and I liked that the story didn't take itself too seriously. Amma brought a great energy to the book, while Damien's attempts to remain evil despite constantly being pulled in another direction made for an entertaining read. I'm definitely curious to see how their story continues.
