Great sequel and quite enjoyable. I listened to the audiobooks and the narrator did the book justice. My favorite line in the book "Kai's guilt evaporated like a fart in the wind." I had to rewind, relisten, and even for good measure put it on slow speed to make sure I heard it right. I believe I did...and I died. Then had to tell my friends about these books.

Three years have passed since the events of the first book, and Kai and Miya are now...demon hunters, facing both old and new foes alike.
The world and lore got such an expansion in this one, there was almost a bigger focus on it than the new mystery, but it all ties together, carried over from book one.
I feel like the atmosphere was lighter, and there were no slower parts, everything moved at a medium pace. It was really easy for me to jump back in, despite the in-world time skip.
We still follow Kai, Miya and Mason, but there's a few other PoVs we get later on that are important to the story. They help to explain what was, and what will be (I'm channeling my inner Gavran, can you tell?).
The romance is deeper, and you get to see just how deep it goes at the end, it's true devotion, the kind that makes even undead mermaids bawl.
There was something that happened to Kai that made me want to screech, I was like "not agaaaain" and then he went and did something stupid and AGH. It gets fixed, don't worry, but for a portion of the book, he and Miya were apart and IT HURT ME.
On a lighter note, there were more Serbian names that popped up, and a demon called Drekalo which is actually a screeching creature in Slavic mythology, so I was not the only one wanting to screech!! There was also a Rusalka (hence the undead mermaid), so now I'm wondering which other creatures will show up in Wildblood.
I do kinda wish that more of this series was based around Slavic myths, but I'll take what I can get.
The ending wrapped things up once again, but left the door open for more adventures. Which we are getting, TODAY, because Wildblood is out and I am on my way to read it, yes sir.
P. S. I'm glad Ama found her happy ending as well. Mason next?? Fingers crossed.

This book was much darker, and less romance & spice than book one. That disappointed me. But it explained A LOT about all the suffering that has gone on at Black Hollow. I just wish such a large portion of the book wasn’t about that. But I can’t say I was unsatisfied by the conclusion of this duology. I was happy with the outcome. I’m think a spin-off series might be a good idea?!!

This book was a whirlwind! Loved it! I really enjoyed it just as much as I did the first one. The entire backstory written into this one plays out well with the entire story. If anything, the second book made me adore Maya and Kai even more. Just like the first book, I loved the descriptions of the scenery that made me feel like I was actually in the story. I highly recommend this series. It was stunning. Gave me that perfect dark fantasy feel!
Great series, just lost momentum. I’ll come back to it later.
Aunque el primero me encantó, este lo sentí demasiado lento y vacío. No me transmitió nada, y por más que intenté, terminé el cuarto capítulo y seguí sin nada.
Although I loved the first one, this one felt too slow and empty. It conveyed nothing to me, and no matter how hard I tried, I finished the fourth chapter and still had nothing.
