Oraya and Raihn’s story continues in the sequel to THE SERPENT AND THE WINGS OF NIGHT.
I loved this one and was entertained the entire way through! I feel like I can’t say a ton about the plot without spoilers, but RAIHN, my HEART. He was such a standout here, and getting a dual POV kept me so invested. I also loved the glimpses of Vale and Lilith after being introduced to them in SIX SCORCHED ROSES.
Overall, I really like this duology and the world Carissa Broadbent has created—it has romance, action, and political intrigue, and I was super invested by the end. I’m intrigued by what with come next with book three (which starts off the Shadowborn Duet) and I’m excited to read that one in November!

The plot, the characters, and the romance it all came together so beautifully in this book. Also, I'm a sucker for a good vampire story!
I highly recommend this!
