The Paths We Lay

Auryn Hadley

4.29 AVERAGE


I’m still wary about sessions, patrons, working with other priests, a god in the harem and any FF action. Otherwise, things are moving along nicely. These are such well-thought out characters and added to the world-building is enough to pull someone in so thoroughly that by the time you turn the last page you just crave more and more.
New aspects were introduced in this book, the BDSM, we’ll see how they work. Anver is almost back, we met Talin’s family members, that was a not-so nice experience. We will probably be seeing more them.
On to the next one!

Its no secret that I am a huge Auryn fan , and that The Paths We Lay blew my away again. It was again a perfectly written story that had me mesmerized from the first page till the end.

I suck at writing reviews , expecially without spoilers so bare with me please...

The Path We Take , it continues where book 1 left off with Nari and her guys , Tarin, Wrayte and Eladehl taking classes for Initiate Schooling.

Nari still is very unsure of what it means to walk the Path of Temptation, it also doesn't help some people want to see her fail because she is changes things up. But we will see Nari grow , we will see her become confident in who she is.

Zeal makes a lot of appearances ! We also get to know him a little more.

Like I said I suck at writing reviews so this is basically the end because I don't want to ruin things , but there is this scene that actually made my heart soar. It's a talk between Jamik and Nari and I had this big smile on my face. Also Wraythe was super cute in this book , he had so many scenes where I was like ahhhh ( I want a Wraythe for my own)


That said (apparently not quite finished), in this book we meet some members of the Ranndor family who are Talin's family and also Ela is finding out his own way into the Path of the Body , his kinks , his likes , his limits , and while I wasn't that surprised to learn about it , I do wonder how it will affect the others , not in terms of not accepting but , Ela and Nari will or are expected to perform together and I am really wondering how that will play out between them , or them and their Patrons if they want the two of them. ( this doesn't make a sense to anyone reading this who hasn't read the book yet

Must read

The depth of the story and the characters is just unreal. The story is sensuous and loving. And about finding your own path along the way.

Good not great

Good second book leading into some action. I'm looking forward to the next in the series. I just wish there had been a bit more action and less talk...I get it though.
