THIS MONSTER OF MINE BY SHALINI ABEYSEKARA
Goodreads Description:
She knows the taste of death. He'll stoke her hunger for it.
Eighteen-year-old
Sarai doesn't know why someone tried to kill her four years ago, but
she does know that her case was closed without justice. Hellbent on
vengeance, she returns to the scene of the crime as a Petitor, a
prosecutor who can magically detect lies, and is assigned to work with
Tetrarch Kadra. Ice-cold and perennially sadistic, Kadra is the most
vicious of the four judges who rule the land - and the prime suspect in a
string of deaths identical to Sarai's attempted murder.
Certain
of his guilt, Sarai begins a double life: solving cases with Kadra by
day and plotting his ruin by night. But Kadra is charming and there's
something alluring about the wrath he wields against the city's
corruption. So when the evidence she finds embroils her in a deadly
political battle, Sarai must also fight against her attraction to Kadra -
because despite his growing hold on her heart, his voice matches the
only memory she has of her assailant...
A dazzling Ancient Rome-inspired romantasy debut, This Monster of Mine is a bloodbath of manipulation, deception, and forbidden love.

Another new Fairyloot book. <3 This one looks all kinds of stunning. And I think it sounds interesting :D A little complicated, probably. But it is a book that I will give a try, one day :) I'm hoping that I will love it. <3
