Avoid if you don’t love: trashy romance novels, everyone trying to kill you, second books in the series, toxic relationships, SA trauma that builds character, betrayal, over complicated narratives.
—————
Unfortunately I’m probably not going to pick up the third book. First one was fun, but this one struggled to capture my attention.
There was also the matter of the big bad having some creepy sex dungeon and r*ping main characters and that being a trauma bonding experience. And I thought we had all collectively agreed that it was 2024 and there are plenty of other ways to hurt women. And perhaps that particular way, out of all of them, should be kept out of our romance novels?
We know that they’re already toxic enough.

Adrian's abilities come to light and
I am just glad the main characters are not a Mary Sue, there's definitely a lot of questionable decisions they made that made me see them in a different light, but as the story progresses it's hard to not feel for them.
Expect to do a lot of gasping because so much goes on in such a short amount of time that it has your head spinning trying to put it all together.
One thing that was a bit difficult to understand was when Isolde re-lived Yesenia's memories because it was not easy to distinguish if Isolde was in the present or past. I had to re-read a couple times to grasp what time period the author was talking about. Maybe if it was italicized or written as a chapter it would have been easier to decipher.
Overall, I can't wait for the third book, Adrian and Isolde went through so much already, I can't wait to continue reading about her journey to conquer despite everything!
