Cadence, Slate, Adrien, and Gaelle survived the tasks of the quatrefoil, even if they didn't bring magic back. The latter three are happy to go back to normal life, but Cadence feels guilty that they didn't succeed and reverse the curses of the quatrefoil. Determined to make things right, Cadence slips the bloodstone onto her finger, throwing the four back into the quatrefoil's games. Can they succeed this time, or will they just leave even more cursed people in their wake?
Everything I loved in the first book is back in the sequel! I wasn't sure how Katie and Olivia were going to pull off a book as riveting as Of Wicked Blood, but they did it. I am only disappointed that this is the last book of the duology, and we won't get to visit Brume again.

"Two months ago, I was a criminal with bulging pockets and a hollow heart. Now, the organ pounding behind my ribs is at capacity. How ironic would it be if Slate Ardoin -thief, con man, bully, orphan- went into cardiac arrest for over-caring?"
Just wonderful to get back to Brume and this dysfunctional crew in the exciting conclusion to this series!! Fun and fast-paced, it's everything you wanted- twists, turns, humor and oh ......SO MANY SPIDERS!!! The story picks up a few days after the events in Of Wicked Blood and just when things were getting back to a normal routine, Cadence makes a decision that changes everything. And it doesn't just affect the four members of the Quatrefoil crew, but everyone living in Brume, some in devastating ways. Don't want to spoil anything so can't say anything else about the twists, just that they will take you on quite the ride and include even more revelations about what led them all here to this point. Katie and Olivia bring it all home with snark, romance. laugh out loud moments and a few tears. Love this crew of characters and it's sad to have to leave Brume behind!!
