Daggermouth by H. M. Wolfe is a dark dystopian romance set in the brutal city of New Found Haven, where power is tightly controlled by a ruthless elite and mercy is treated like a crime. The story follows Greyson, the city’s Executioner and the president’s son, and Shadera, a feared assassin from the Boundary, whose deadly collision pulls them into a forced alliance inside a world of surveillance, class oppression, and political violence. As rebellion brews around them, they are forced to confront not only the regime’s brutality but also their own dangerous loyalties and the possibility that the one person they’re supposed to destroy might become the one person they can’t let go.

HOOLLLLYYYYYY SHIIIIITTTTTT 🤯 I am still reeling from reading Daggermouth. My heart was beating out of my chest for the last 10% of that book and I cannot stop thinking about EVERYTHING that happened.

THIS is how you write dystopian. Wow. WOW. Almost too dark for me, almost. I was appalled. I was horrified. I was desperate for change. I have never loved and hated characters more.

Greyson and Shadera's stories are INTENSE. This is not your typical love story. All the characters! I am blown away by the depth of so many characters in a single book!

DAYUMMMMMM! All I could think when I finished book 1 was: holy shit. I was literally sweating reading the last 10%. Heart racing, EVERY emotion….what a wild fucking ride. I actually was really sucked into the entire book and was highly entertained but THAT ENDING was insane. Comparable for me to a Metal Slinger type ending with so many shocking twists and crazy moments. I truly did not see some of those twists coming. Mouth agape…true shooketh.

It looks like we might have to wait until March 2027 for book 2 of this duology (originally set for 11/26'), and I will be DYING until then. Like, wow. Dystopian, Handmaid's Tales…ish vibes, amazing hidden identities, true enemies to lovers, slow burn, multi POV - it has some great tropes but it's a dark gal so check your trigger warnings. And, if you're like me and hate men like 99% of the time - this will DEF fuel your rage there, so beware. :/ When people say the ending gutted them….I get it.
