About this book
"She glared deep into his azure eyes, bestowing him with a silent promise. He may very well be responsible for her undoing. But she would be his end." When Mora met Dother, she expected a one-night tryst, but the man she grew to love had a different idea. He intended to keep her at any cost. Even if that meant binding her to a flask and cursing her to grant the wishes of any who held it. Though Dother meant it when he swore Mora would never truly be rid of him, he didn't anticipate the monster she would become in the name of vengeance. Revenge was not enough. Three hundred years later, Mora is eternally cursed, rageful, and haunted by memories of Dother. She makes do by twisting her Keepers' wishes to have dire, often deadly outcomes until a wish gone awry lands Mora in the hands of a new, terrifying enemy. One who knows all of Dother's secrets and plans to use them against her. Trapped alongside Zadriel, a brooding Fae male who despises her and yearns for her in equal measure, Mora must face a past she longs to forget. But something is hidden in the Forbidden Forest. Secrets her Keeper wishes to uncover. Secrets Zadriel would prefer to keep. As Mora is forced to fulfill a wish she knows will end in horror, she unravels the damning truth about Dother's curse. And Mora isn't the only one who's doomed. Captivating, tense, and shockingly wicked, Wish is an adult dark fantasy full of magic, feminine rage, morally grey chaos, and a swoon-worthy enemy-to-lovers romance. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Harper L Woods, and Raven Kennedy. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website. Narrated in duet style.

Ashley | A Pair of ReadersBe Careful What You Wish For
"Sara Flanagan's debut dark fantasy romance, Wish, is a seductive read that draws you in and leaves you spiral until the very last page. Sara does a wonderful job of building this dark, sinister world that slowly comes into focus (don't expect to understand it all until the very end...she is keeping us on our toes!). Mora, trapped by a curse that demands she perform the wishes of whoever holds her flask, tries to escape from a devious bent on making a name for himself and controlling her world. However, as she tries to fight against her curse, she is drawn into a much larger story of fate, love, and betrayal. The FMC, Mora, is female rage personified -- and honestly, she has every reason to be. I felt for her character. She spends much of her human life under an evil monster only to be cursed to serve different Keepers, who all demand wishes from her. She is haunted by memories of her past and her previous experiences. They are dark moments. Zadriel was such a fun character to read about. Trapped under his own curse, Mora and Zadriel cross paths as they are control by the same repugnant villain (yes, REPUGNANT). Zadriel's story is slowly revealed and you find his childhood has been a dark one as he has been trapped for most of it. What I love most though is that Zadriel is a cinnamon roll with k*ller frosting. He is sweet, caring, and the perfect mate for Mora -- who needs that in her life. Sara does a beautiful job of highlight their romance in the sweetest way amongst the much darker stories of their past and their current predicament. It makes you truly favor their romance (and the spice doesn't hurt either). Please check the TWs and CWs on this one as it does deal with some darker themes, especially in Mora and Zadriel's pasts.
