Another great and smutty book in the Never After Series. It never fails to make me smile when the villain gets their happy ending. Finding out the hero was not so heroic after all makes you love the villain that much more. This fractured fairy tale retelling of Lion King is amazing. The scarred prince and the mad king facing off throughout the book just further proves there are two sides to every story.
A few of my favorites quotes from the book...
"His tone is deep. As if it was made in hell, then woven through silk. A gentle caress that singes your senses."
"That's the difference between me and other people. They run away from the bad things, and I become them."
"But our strength is impatience. In planning. That is what topples empires. Together we rule, divided we fall."
"Death inevitably changes you. "
"I'll be damned if this woman wasn't molded in the heavens and plucked from the sky just for me. "

As much as I love reading Emily McIntire's books, this one is so far not my favourite. I love the way that McIntire reveals more backstory about her characters as the story continues, and there was a dark mystery to this one with lots of plot twists. However, the main characters were kind if unbearable at times. Their whole personalities just felt like completely two dimensional with their only internal monologue being about murder and sex. I did love the references to the Lion King though, that was very well done and for the most part I understood them.

I could only get into it to a certain point before it became a bit more torture porn-y for my taste.

I swear, There is crack in here ! 
It's best to go in blind but if you have any triggers check them. Even not reading back and jumping in this beauty would be best . So I won't give a summary . While this is second in series it can be read as a standalone . 
What I will share is ..
I loved this book ! The plot amazing , the smut perfection. Definitely a wild ride. I loved this . The angst . The villain and the main female character's chemistry is swoon worthy . Definitely recommend .
