I loved this book so much that it has given me a serious book hangover. Now, where am I going to find something as epic as this? Since I have read and loved the previous two books in the series, I already love the characters. They are all amazing and I enjoy how Lazarus siblings interact with each other. Lilo Likeke is one of the new characters introduced in this book. She is perfect mate for Griffin Lazarus. These two really compliment each other and the chemistry between them is off the charts hot. So, the romance side of the side is as good as the action side of it.
Griffin Lazarus embodies the sin of greed. He is the only one of his siblings who has learned to control himself in order to keep a balance between greed and generosity. He cannot depend on something as uncertain as finding a mate because things get ugly when people like him lose control. The abilities they have are a curse and Griffin needs to be in control.
Lilo Likeke hates controlling men. It seems that Griffin is just like every other man who thinks he can control women. But she refuses to be controlled. He will have to learn to accept that or she is done. She is a reporter to whom nothing matters more than the truth. Learning about the Deadly Seven is something she has always looked forward to. She wants to be the one who reveals their true identities and their real motives behind their actions. Unfortunately, she is soon going to realize that reality is far worse than a comic book and danger surrounding them is very much real.
Lilo and Griffin and both fighting battles both external and internal. But can they trust each other completely or is it too much of a risk?
I can't wait to see what this series has in store for us next. I'm sure it will be something just as amazing as this.
P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book.

I am really enjoying this series so far and book two was a definite step up from book one imo.
There was better flow, a more engaging romance, and the author’s writing is getting stronger.
For me, I felt like Lilo was a smidge on the boring side especially compared to Griffin. Her selflessness and giving nature was at times, a little insufferable. It bordered more on being a doormat than being a beacon of generosity.
I love her background and reasoning for being so selfless and wish we could have had just a tad more plot involving that.
Griffin is a compelling mmc and I loved his pov. The trauma he went through and the impact it’s had on his life was well done.
I will say though, the final battle was a bit anticlimactic for me. I wanted a bit more of and internal struggle from him but it just kind of wrapped up pretty easily.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and can’t wait to continue with this series!
