In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-old Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable—they fall in love. Bonded by a mysterious connection that causes Ash’s long-dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they’re caught, they’ll be executed—but their feelings are too strong.
When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.”

I've never even heard of this book. I was pretty distracted the year it came out. Sounds heavier on the romance than the plot and that might be why others didn't Ike it as much. I'm glad you liked it. I'd be interested to see what you'd think upon a reread.

Oh yes, it's pretty heavy on the romance which is one problem my older self may have an issue with. I'll have to reread it and see!

I love all these prompts because it expands my list of books. I've never heard of this book, but it sounds like it would be a good book. Curse my ever growing TBR list!

I loved the first 100 or so pages of this, but after that I actually DNFd it.
