Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin (Serpent & Dove book 1)

“Bound as one to love, honor, or burn.

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.

Sworn to the Church as a Chasseur, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. His path was never meant to cross with Lou's, but a wicked stunt forces them into an impossible union—holy matrimony.

The war between witches and Church is an ancient one, and Lou's most dangerous enemies bring a fate worse than fire. Unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, a choice must be made.

And love makes fools of us all.” - taken from Goodreads.com

I got to say that I love a good enemy to lovers plotline and this book absolutely blew me away. Thankfully, I had a free day where I could finish the second half of this book in one sitting. A witch being forced to marry a witch hunter made for a great slow burn romance as well as individual journeys of self-discovery for both Lou and Reid. Comic at times with great supporting characters, true friendships, and several unexpected reveals, this is easily one of my favorite reads of the year. Lou and Reid are definitely one of my favorite book relationships of all time. I cannot wait to see where the story goes next. 

Book two, Blood & Honey is due out on August 31, 2020.
