------

This book was amazing, I loved the first one and I loved this one even more.

We got to learn so much more about the universe and about the Darkslayers. Darien and Loren became one of my favorite couple. The found family trop (which is one of my favorite) is so well built, a lot a new characters arrive and there are a lot of revelations.

The book is pretty big but I read it five days, it's well written, action packed, funny, everything we need in a urban fantasy.

The Supernatural vibes throughout the story is amazing.

So excited for the next one because this end...

2.5 ★ - Information felt VERY repetitive and the main relationship started to get on my nerves. I found myself not wanting to pick up the book to finish. Real let down for me and makes me question if I should continue the rest of the series now.

I don't understand why the women are all written like they are scared and powerless. Like his sister is a devil, BUT HE MUST PROTECT. Like they can't handle anything and the men have to step in and shield them.... I get that Loren is a human, but for fuck sake why does always a man fix everything............

If there’s one thing I’ll never get enough of, it’s a beautifully devastating story—and City of Souls and Sinners delivers that in spades.

The love between Loren and Darien is achingly complex and so vividly written it practically crackles off the page. Their connection feels raw, real, and impossible to look away from. I felt every glance, every unspoken word, every heartbreak.

The plot had me hooked from beginning to end—I was so immersed in the twists and emotional depth that I didn’t even realize I’d just devoured nearly 900 pages. And that ending? My jaw was on the floor. I just sat there, stunned, blinking at the wall like it might offer answers.

Thankfully, I have the next book ready to go because there’s no way I’m walking away from this story now.

This series has everything I crave in fantasy: a gripping slow burn, layered mystery, found family that makes your heart ache, a unique magic system, laugh-out-loud moments, and yes… spice levels that absolutely deliver.
