This book picks right back up where the first one ends. It gives you insight to what her life used to be like before everything changed.
There is romance, battles, heartbreak, and soo much more.
It has a huge cliff hanger ending. I felt so broken at the end and I'm hoping that the last book will help relieve my sadness and everything isn't the way the ending seems.

*Overall: 4.5/5*

Woah, this was a fun ride! Mother of Demons, portal jumping, villain confronting, smexy bedroom scenes, and centuries' worth of badassery all come together very quickly for a gripping story. The harem is full of broken boys who love THE Lilith and will move heaven and hell (see what I did there?) to accomplish their mission while strengthening their budding relationship. And that ending….that can’t be the ending. So glad this is a trilogy because this story is just too big to be easily contained.

*Originality: 4/5*
*Characters: 4/5*
*Story development: 5/5*
*Steam level: Plenty high without detracting from the plot

Holy smokes! This book was....

A lot! This book was great. Lillith is a wonderful character - strong but kind. Her guys really grew as characters in this installment. Overall the story is progressing nicely - intrigue, betrayal, action - it has it all. That ending was a little cruel but now I need book 3!

This was an interesting continuation of the story. I like the author’s twist on heaven/hell etc. We learn more about the FMC, Lilith and about the prophecy. I thought there was a bit of a lull at one point however I really liked the ending. I was surprised with how the author took things and I’m looking forward to the new twists and turns in book 3.
3.5/5 but rounding to 4 for the ending

We continue Lilith’s story in Crimson Kiss. She battles Viktor and her and the guys barely survive. She finds out her beloved pet Jax is actually her demon lover Aziel in disguise. So much is going on with our girl, it’s a wonder she doesn’t have a mental breakdown!

Embracing her unlocked demon self, she follows her dad to Hell, bringing Thaddeus, Kai, and Blaise with her. Rough adjustment is a gross understatement. They each end up having a role to play, and Lilith has a prophecy to fulfill.

In the midst of navigating all the changes, she also tries to help her guys move on from their pasts. None of them had a great start to their supernatural lives. Those chapters are heart wrenching to say the least. (Freaking bawling, more like it.)

And that brings us to the ending. Cliffhanger. The kind of cliffhanger that will make you want to pack up your things, hunt Lyra down, and demand she fix things. I AM NOT OKAY.

But don’t let that stop you from reading. You need to read it. Just, you know, be prepared to wail and mutiny.

Lilith, my beloved

Omg, seriously that cliffhanger killed. I am glad I am reading this after all the books were out. I wouldn’t be able to handle the suspense of waiting for the next book.

This book definitely had a lot of information in it. The story building was amazing and a lot of things were explained in this one that weren’t fully explained in the first one.

I love the characters! Lilith is such a bad a**. The men, omfg the men. Devoted, obsessed, sexy af! What more could you ask for?!?

I loved this book more than the first, it was such a great continuation of the series. Lilith has gained back her memories (which is rare when it comes to reincarnation books) and I loved that the guys were supportive of her and didn't try to change who or what she is. This book did end on a cliffhanger and I cannot wait until book 3 comes out!!

After that ending, I am completely speechless and still reeling. This is well written with incredible and descriptive storytelling. This is a fun read with steam and a gripping storyline.

Wow. From the minute I picked this book up I was hooked. It was so good and I loved how you got to see the vampires reconcile with their pasts as well as learning more about Lilith. This ends with a huge cliffhanger and I can’t wait to find out what happens next. So good!
