This book was so gripping and exciting! I loved it just as much as the first book. It was so fun and unique, amazing world building and character development! The plot was so entertaining and when I wasn’t reading, all I could think about was how much time I had left until I could go and read more of this book 😍

These Main characters are so special to me, and I love them so so much! Diem is such a brilliant, badass, intelligent and strong FMC and I adore her so much! Luther is just green flags left, right, and centre (and totally swoon worthy) and I’m obsessed with him!

The ending had me GASPING and I need to read the next book asap! 🫣😭

Okay Diem is definitely Descended but a weird kind that it seem no one knows about? Or that's how it is looking to be. Also i fucking called it on half Descendeds being stronger than full blooded. Fucking called it.

I also can't believe that Diems mother fucking did everything that she has. Especially knowing that her daughter is part Descended or something of the like.

It also makes so much more sense that Luther is adament about saving all the half children because he himself is one. I really didn't see that coming. That was one hell of a surprise.

Also fuck Henri. He's horrible and I hate him. He's barely been there for his betrothed in her biggest time of need and any reason he can state is fucking stupid and I just can't wait until he either is killed or crushed when Diem finally is able to call it off with him. I just hope her stupid fucking mother didn't get her killed with all the Guardian antics.

Also thank fucking God Diem pulled her head out of her ass and chose Luther. I have been over here just hanging onto the edge of my seat with every interaction that they have just waiting for the next time to finally happen between them. We have been sooo close a couple of times but nothing yet. I feel I may be a puddle if nothing happens in the next book.

Also I really need to get some fucking answers in regard to Diems mother. And who her father is. Especially since he apparently is still alive. Also need to know who killed her father as well cause that was a dick move. And I swear to god is it was the guardians I'm going to leep into the book and kill Henri cause I just know if it was he had something to do with it. I also vote for whoever did it to be killed by Sorea. I think that would a fitting death.

Also I just love how much all the cousins closest to Luther and become a second family for Diem and Teller. I can't wait to see what chaos they continue to cause.

So much fucking happened and i just cant figure out what to do next whether to lay here and contemplate what I just read or to jump into the next book. All I know is that I need the fourth book like yesterday so that I can read it as soon as I am done with book 3. Why do I start series before I have all the books? I hate buying things in multiple formats but I may just have to make an exception in this case.

I enjoyed this book a little bit more than the first book. I felt it was easier to follow but that's probably because the world building is heavily done in the first book. The characters definitely felt more 3-dimensional.

I'm giving this book a half star more than the previous book because the first book felt more predictable but the twist at the end of this book was unexpected for me. It did make sense to add and made the story seem more interesting.

I enjoyed this one a little more than Spark, we learn quite a bit more about the world and the people in it. Besides, I am in LOVE with the side characters here, just awesome. Taran, I want one of my own please and thank you. While the slow burn is still slow, we've upgraded a touch, thank gosh. Maybe a bit more than a touch on Luther's side, but Diem is still convincing herself she can't have him 🙄

Predictable but I love it 👨‍🦯🙈💁‍♀️

I get not wanting to let go of someone but jesus fucking christ, how many times does Henri have to be a piece of shit?
Also Luther betraying her would definitely make the series more interesting but I'm glad he didn't.
The incest twins was a,,,, unique touch
The ending was not a surprise at all. The moment Henri mentioned the leader of the Guardians in the first book I assumed it was Lorelai considering she was both gone AND one of few characters we had met at that point that would cause an appropriate amount of shock value. Henri needs to be murdered. Preferably by Diem. Amen.

Good continuation of first book with interesting character development and tons of sexual tension. This book felt like it focused on character relationships and minor plot advancement for a majority of the story, but some fun twists and major plot reveals at points. Made me want to start the next right away.
