The Fiery Heart

The dual POV is a game-changer. Seeing Sydney through Adrians eyes—how he sees her brilliance where she sees her flaws—is achingly tender. But Mead doesnt let the romance coast; Adrians mental health spiral and spirit darkness add real weight to every stolen moment together. The forbidden relationship stakes escalate from inconvenient to genuinely dangerous, and that gut-punch ending redefines what this series is capable of. Pack tissues and have Silver Shadows ready.
