Obsessed! This duet was everything. Book two started with a bang and just kept going. The suspense, the action, the romance - I couldn't put it down! I'm so attached to these characters and loved every moment of this read! A beautiful ending to Nico and Camilla's story.

“Love was honesty and trust.
It was unconditional and lacked requirements.
Impossible to earn, even more so to lose, the truer its form.”
This sequel to House of Bane and Blood does not disappoint!!!!
It’s action-packed, spicy and twisty!
Highly recommended for those who love:
• found family
• touch her and die
• political intrigue
• epic world building
• a dash of spiciness!
I absolutely adore Nico and Milla, they’re both such badass that they suit together so well.
I admire Milla for her relentless and strength after enduring what she went through and Nico for his determination to save his wife and always being supportive towards her and his family.
Their chemistry was off the charts and the spicy scenes was very well written too!
“I’ve got lots of plans for you. They all end in forever.”
At the beginning the pace was a little bit slow, but it gets a lot more interesting after once the answers to the questions you’ve been wondering are finally given.
I was usually good at guessing twist, but this one was a hard one to crack cause everyone seems so suspicious with their own agenda!
Overall, it’s been a fantastic adventure following Nico and Milla’s story in this epic world!
While their story comes to an end here, I’m guessing we’ll meet another couple in the next book of this series since that ending suggests that things are far from over.
I can't wait to read the next adventure from this author in the future!
I received an advanced review copy for free from the author, and I am leaving this review voluntarily!

OMG I was so stressed for this entire read but I usually take this as a good sign because it means I’m invested. Camilla and Nico have definitely won me over. I love them both separately and they make such a fantastic duo too. There was found family, a whole lot of the ‘touch my wife and d*e’ trope and so much action and adventure.
I really admire authors like Alexis L. Menard who can write really detailed fantasies but my pea brain cannot keep up. There was so much going on - almost too much. I adored all of the characters but I didn’t have the same love for the plot which might have been a me thing. It’s also very unlike me to say this but I wish this was a trilogy because the ending felt almost unfinished and it ended really abruptly.
I do think Alexis is a fantastic author and this world and characters she has created are wonderful. I can’t wait to see more from her.
Thanks so much Alexis for the ARC of COMAM! I am one lucky gal
