DNF @ 30%. I thought the second book would be better cause someone said so but I couldn’t get through it.

Finley and Nyfain and so frustrating but so love able damn it 😩

The second book had me just as captivated as the first one, and it had some revelations that I was being to suspect, and also some that I hadn’t seen coming. 

I enjoyed seeing Finley and Nyfain’s relationship grow and bloom in this book. The ending had me giggling and kicking my feet, and then crying in a matter of pages. 

This was so well written, and I enjoy the humor that is added in to help lighten the mood at appropriate times, and even good comedic relief.

this was just as absurd, with just as much laughably bad, cringe-worthy dialogue as the first book, but somehow managed to be a smidge more enjoyable. i chalk that solely up to the last few chapters of the book, where a plot developed! a scheme was undertaken! and the reader was given breadcrumbs to follow instead of being force-fed information via a costumed butler!

if you have a trashy reality TV guilty pleasure, this book may be for you. once i got past (read: accepted, begrudgingly) the many, many flaws this book has, and focused all of my energy on the relationship between finley and nyfain, it wasn't....terrible. the last few chapters were especially exciting, but i'm not sure i can, in good conscience, recommend this as a read for anyone who has read even one good fantasy romance book in their life.

it's silly, it's problematic, it's full of sex to the detriment of plot, pacing, dialogue, and any of the things usually integral to a story's composition, but despite that...it was sort of fun? i'm not sure if it was actually better than its predecessor, or if i merely desensitized myself by reading these back to back. 2 stars for the scheming. (and a little for the smut. just a little.)

The smut was SO GOOD... by far my favorite aspect of the book.
I also really liked how far Finley and Nyfain's relationship has come and how cute they can be together
Also... the ending was brutal and I cannot wait for the next one

This book is once again filled with humor. I enjoyed the characters greatly and especially Hadriel. However, I feel like the story is lacking .. its missing heartthrob moments and scream of excitement moments. Its a little bland and i keep waiting on something. It made me quite bored to be honest. 
Im missing action and its taking very long for anything to happen. The characters have been playing this push and pull game for two books already. 

Later in the story it got a lot better romance. But it was missing action. The demon king seemed more like a myth rather than a threat. And so did the demons at this point. They haven’t really done anything. I think i got to love Hadriel even more in this book. And Nyfain is less beasty and more romantic now. Altho that took more than half of the book to get there.

Honestly stopped being interesting. The dialogue no longer made sense and the overt sexual themes got boring. The back and forth just got to a point where there was no progress made between the two. I liked the premise but not enough substance to hold me unfortunately.
