Come for the pretty prose, stay for the rage. Terror at the Gates by Scarlett St. Clair is beautiful, brutal, and unputdownable. Scarlett has an extraordinary talent for placing the reader squarely in the protagonist's shoes, creating an immersive narrative that reimagines Lilith from Mesopotamian mythology, highlighting her strength, defiance, and refusal to be subservient. The themes of feminine rage, familial conflict, and the longing to be truly seen resonated deeply with me. I felt like I was personally being called out. 10/10 would spiral again for this book.

Absolutely amazing! I loved if every second of it. It's going to be a pain to wait for the second book, but I can't wait. One of my top new books.
