About this book
Mora thought her encounter with Dother was a fleeting tryst, but his obsession proved far more permanent. When he traps her within a cursed flask, stripping away her freedom to turn her into a vessel for others' desires, he sparks a transformation fueled by centuries of unadulterated rage. Mora survives by weaponizing the wishes of her Keepers, twisting their greed into deadly consequences, until a fateful mistake delivers her into the hands of a new, dangerous captor.
Now, she is forced into an uneasy alliance with Zadriel, a brooding Fae male whose hatred for her is matched only by his undeniable pull toward her. As they navigate the perils of the Forbidden Forest, Zadriel’s intimate knowledge of Dother’s secrets threatens to shatter the fragile reality Mora has constructed. Bound by a volatile mission and a wish that promises only horror, Mora must confront the haunting truth of her imprisonment.
In a world of dark magic and shifting allegiances, she discovers that vengeance is a double-edged sword, and the man who cursed her may have doomed them all. Caught between a past she cannot escape and a present she barely understands, Mora prepares to become the ultimate architect of her own liberation.

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.

"I would have loved to give this 5 stars because for some parts of the book, it was definitely 5 stars. But, for about half, it couldn't keep me invested. The slow burn isn't slow enough, and the storyline flips on occasion. Then, there's lack of communication that would have avoided a few issues nearing the end. I HATE miscommunication or lack thereof when it could so OBVIOUSLY level things out if used. I don't know if I even want to read book two. Sure, the first half was fantastic, but the writer got a head of herself, I think. And Zadriel seems a bit too sissy for an MFC. ["

Ashliegh HuffmanPlease take the chance!!
"I finished this in a day! I am so ready for the next one to come out! Oh my word!! Now I’m not going to lie it is a tad slow in the beginning because it does a lot of world building! (please dont give up right here ). But I’m telling u right now for me it was worth it! It got so good I didn’t want to put it down! And it does leave you on a bit of a cliffhanger BUT it’s a GOOD (ish) cliffhanger! Like I’m upset about a side character but there will be more books !!!!!! You won’t regret diving into this world! Only things I have to complain about is I’m not sure why Sara had to change a chapter when it was the same character. Secondly that we have to wait for more of this series to come out! ["
