Series review: Pretty solid. I liked all of the heroes well enough and I thought the world was interesting, though not quite as fully detailed as I would've liked. I love a reverse harem where she gets together with the guys at different paces and I thought this did it really well. I particularly liked the arc of her romance with Valen. The big weakness of the series is that it didn't feel like it had enough of a villain or enough of a triumphant win. The nightmares felt like they were leading to a bigger bad guy, but Eryx was not given enough weight to feel like the Big Bad. Which lead to the big fight and win feeling anticlimactic. Without that plot momentum I was feeling a bit bored by the end of the final book.

I knew when I started the first book in this series that this series was gonna be a hit or a mis. I love both authors working on this series. I love fantasy stories. I love slayers. But I also prefer my books more emotional than action-packed. Which mostly has to do with the fact that I don't envision a thing while reading a book, but can feel the emotions of the characters. However, I liked the first book and was therefore glad I also got an arc for the second book!
This second book surprised me in so many ways. And all of those were good ways. This book has everything. It has some nail biting action scenes. It has some heartwarming romantic scenes. It has some intriguing mystery and danger. It also has the most painful heartbreak I've ever encountered in a book. I don't wanna give too much away, but the last few chapters shattered my heart into a million pieces and I have no idea how the authors are gonna recollect them all. Ever.
Although the main mystery, what is going on with the rifts and the nightmares, is not really moving forward in this book, the main character does grow quite a lot in this book. Don't get me wrong. I love bad-ass heroines knowing how to fight their own battles, but I only love them even more if they're pushed towards their breaking point and have to admit that maybe they do need other people to fight with them, for them and next to them.
Our heroine is not the only one who gets to shine and becomes more and more complex and interesting with every chapter. The heroes that didn't get much background are getting more backstory in this book too. And all of those stories are, one way or another, tragic. The last chapters might have shattered my heart completely, but along the way there were quite a few chapters already slowly fracturing it.
I want, and need, MORE!

WOW!!! First off, I LOVE Greer! She has an a amazing heart! She's strong, smart and just overall tough. My heart aches for everything she has to endure with her momster. This book gripped me from beginning to end and that cliffhanger left me reeling! I need book 3 ASAP!!

Wow, wow, wow. Greer is an unstoppable force, powerful, skilled and an amazing slayer. The relationships she is building are full of twists and turns, but at the base of them are the utter adoration that her men have for her as a woman. She's going to need that adoration, their love to get through this next bit of her life. Greer's mother is a total evil baddie, hiding behind her councillor role, her father is a spineless idiot and I finished this book wondering how the hell either of them could have contributed to the DNA of this amazing heroine. With the battle against the nightmares continuing, the emergence of new bad guys and the planning of Greer and Valen's wedding, this book is packed with action!
