I highly recommend this trilogy and audiobook (in duet narration). Dark why choose, highly entertainning, very spicy, swords crossing and overall interesting characters. Can't wait for book 3.

This one didn't quite make it to 5 stars compared to the first one, but still had a lot of fun listening to it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book two just gets better. I thought I couldn’t love Vincent more but….Scythe…..
I am consumed with this series and I can’t stop reading.
The plot, the spice, the angst, everything is so good. And let’s not forget WAR AND SCYTHE! Are you joking?

I went into this book fully prepared to hate Scythe, and I did... For half a second. Learning about his actions and seeing his character development made me love him just as much as the other characters. Bliss's continued growth and ability to regain her confidence has been great as well, I enjoy seeing that just as I enjoy seeing her relationships with the other characters grow. So much happened in this book, and that cliffhanger at the end!! I'm really sad that I have to work in the morning because I would love nothing more than to start book 3 right now.
