"A brilliant debut, full of everything I love: a sparkling and fully realized heroine, an intricate and deadly system of magic, and a searing romance that kept me reading long into the night. Serpent & Dove is an absolute gem of a book." —Sarah J. Maas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Court of Thorns and Roses series

Bound as one, to love, honor, or burn. Book one of a stunning fantasy trilogy, this tale of witchcraft and forbidden love is perfect for fans of Kendare Blake and Sara Holland.

Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned.

As a huntsman of the Church, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. But when Lou pulls a wicked stunt, the two are forced into an impossible situation—marriage.

Lou, unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, must make a choice. And love makes fools of us all.

Don't miss Gods & Monsters, the spellbinding conclusion of this epic trilogy!

Slow burn

If you know French, you’ll love this book. I struggled a tad with the French language but it didn’t deter me from reading. The story takes awhile to build. Took me a week to read the first half of the book and then it got really good, I was hooked, and I finished the last half in a day. There is some spice, a lot of tension! If you are a ACOTAR fan, you’ll enjoy this!

Serpent & Dove - 3.5 Stars

Serpent & Dove Review – 3.5 stars / 1 spicy rating

Lou is a witch who left her coven to escape her destiny and lives in fear of being found every day. She squats with her best friend, Coco, in the attic of a playhouse. Lou and Coco are witches in hiding from the church and its Chasseurs in addition to Lou hiding from her mother.

The book starts with Lou and Coco and the help of Bas breaking and entering into a townhouse to retrieve a magical ring that will help protect Lou. While there the church is alerted that a witch is there and the Chasseurs show up making their escape nearly impossible. After escaping Lou and Coco must go separate ways for them to both be safe. The very next day Lou runs into one of the Chasseurs and ends up in an arranged marriage to him which will offer her unexpected protection.

After quickly completing the marriage ceremony and moving into Cathédral Saint-Cécile d’Cesarine Lou must learn about her new husband, find a way to safely practice magic to protect herself, and learn to live life in the church married to a Chasseur. After getting herself into some trouble Lou must deal with being babysat by Ansel when Reid isn’t around. During the first day of being babysat by Ansel she manages to get into the infirmary and finds someone she least expected there Coco! This gives her the opportunity to practice strengthening her magic without raising suspicion.

As Lou and Reid learn to manage their differences and learn what it means to be husband and wife to each other they become enemies to lovers. While Lou decides to give into her feelings she is still reluctant to share who/what she is with Reid. After an unexpected turn of events where a band of witches attack the church led by Lou’s mother she must reveal to Reid who/what she is. This results in a fight where Lou leaves the church and gets captured by her mother and returns to Chateau le Blanc. Reid must make a choice to go after Lou and save her from her fate resulting in going against everything he stands for or continuing his path with the church. Ultimately he makes the right decision and sets out with Coco, Ansel, Beau, and Madame Labelle to save Lou.
