This was even more unsettling than the first one. I think that the main storyline was executed well, and the plot was fairly decent, but it was just very uncomfortable to read at times. I think there were a lot more trigger warnings in this book than in the first. (Once again, definitely read the warnings prior to reading this book)

This book is so much darker than the first one. It made it hard to get through the first part of the book. I also think the book should have been shortened a little bit. The violence and dark subject matter turned me off a little.

I enjoyed the book overall. This was the first of its kind I read and the spicy scenes were super intense but I already knew that from the first book. The actually story though I think was well written and it has me hooked. One of those I needed to see what was gunna happen next. The reason for 4 stars is because

I was frustrated with how the author ended Claire…her going on about world domination…

I am no author but I feel there was this huge build up then

they blow her men up after they just back away ? Then just kill her like that? I feel like it should have been more of a fight. Maybe Zade losing some men?

still a great book and will recommend to others who like dark smutty books 🫣

Holy shit. This book is my Roman Empire. Part I was my favourite, even though most prefer part II

the culling! I loved that shit. Poor Phoebe. I felt that death

Sibby was iconic (as always)
Changed rating to five stars just because of how disturbing this was
