Book Review: Claimed by Fire by Melanie Davies

The way I devoured this book! Right from the start, it hooked me!


What begins as a slow, tension filled enemies-to-lovers set up turns into an all-consuming passionate love story of two star-crossed lovers.


I loved Elora! She is head-strong and defiant, and so much more than she believes herself to be. Kaelith is the perfect MMC - ruthless, brooding, and radiates "touch her and die" energy. He is the cold and dangerous shadow-draped demon king, but inside, he is scarred and longs for love and connection. He is fiercely protective of and devoted to Elora, and I loved how he was only soft for her. And when the memories resurfaced and truths were revealed, you can't help but fall for him even more. Especially when we finally discover how and why he became who he is now...

Their relationship was so beautiful and healing. The way they shared their vulnerabilities and fears, accepted each other for who they are, and reassured one another that their love was unconditional, it was so heart-warming to read.

I loved this book so much, it was an easy 5 stars, and I can't wait for book 2 because that cliffhanger ending though!!

Favourite quotes:
✨️ "Then you started looking at me like I was someone. Even in my darkest days. I fight you at every step, and yet... here you are. Just waiting. Just hoping I'll eventually agree to be yours."✨️

✨️"Now I've learned to bleed for something more than survival." He reached for me, his thumb brushing my lips, the touch light but certain. "I didn't know I was capable of love, Elora. Not until you."✨️
