I would highly recommend reading this book, and all of this author's work, if you like this genre. Melissa does a fabulous job of creating characters that are relatable and unique, living in layered, complex worlds.

This book was such an emotional rollercoaster! You will laugh and cry, love and hate, you will experience the full range of emotions reading this book. The characters in the book experience very REAL emotions, making them incredibly relatable. I love an author who can create complex main characters, characters who are not good or bad, but trying to make it through difficult situations. They don't always make the right choices, they will infuriate you, and you will love them (and the author) for it. You will not regret picking this one up!

Be sure to read the trigger warnings as there are some heavy topics in the book.

When I say Melissa K. Roehrich is my favorite author, I mean that. This book is absolutely everything I love about reading. From the very first word, you’re transported to another world with her amazing writing. You get a fun recap by characters from the amazing Lady of Darkness series (if you haven’t already read that series, PLEASE DO! It’s amazing; I love it so much!) and are then submerged back into Devram with all of its politics on powers and the story about a woman that was never meant to be in that world.

I don’t want to give spoilers, but I will say I laughed, I cried, I screamed, and I almost threw my phone across the room. It made me feel everything, and I loved every second of my time in Devram and can’t wait to go back! This book is everything I love about fantasy and being able to escape into another universe while truly feeling like you’re a part of it. My husband interrupted me a few times while reading (how dare he?), and when I would look up from my book, it was a genuine shock that I wasn’t with Tessa, Theon, Luka, or Axel. Without giving too much away, I will say there is a budding new romance that will have you rooting for their love so HARD! It will have you kicking your feet and just loving how everything progresses.

Watching Tessa grow into her power and trying to figure out where her powers come from and where she fits into the world of Devram is such a fun journey. If you love strong female leads that can always put our MMC in his place, you have found the right series to read! Also getting to see how Theon’s plotting and plans to stop his father from taking over Devram play out is definitely a wild ride! His younger brother Axel is my angel baby, and I would fight anyone for him. The book picks up right where Rain of Shadows and Ending leaves off, so we know he’s absolutely going through it and learn about more of his demons (my poor baby, I just wish I could hold him). We also spend more time with our beloved dragon daddy Luka and see more of his relationship with Tessa as he continues to train her to fight and protect herself against all those in Devram that either covet her power or fear it. The book is called Storm of SECRETS and Sorrow, and let me tell you that there are MANY secrets we discover and I’m sure many more we don’t… And there most certainly is sorrow. I’m not sure how Melissa does it over and over again, but she definitely delivered yet another 5-star read! She’s 7/7 on 5-Star reads in my book!
