I have A LOT OF FEELINGS RIGHT NOW.

J. Bree what are you doing to my unstable heart?

Tense, Gripping, Drama...!

There’s nothing like a good story to get your heart pounding and J. Bree does it brilliantly. FMC Avery might be a little OCD about her cleanliness but the second instalment of her story is just as dark and gritty as the other Mounts Bay books!
With appearances from characters we know and love, as well as those we would give a diamond to be dealt with by the Wolf and her family; be prepared for shocks and twists you didn’t see coming.

Atticus Anti & proud /lh

Is it bad that I’m routing for Avery x Luca? Aodhan is amazing and although I know full well Crow is gonna survive and get back with Avery I’m hoping to see her as the Queen Crow and Lips as the Wolf, especially now she has blood on her hands.

“Nothing better than a woman getting the respect she deserves, her hands dripping with the blood she shed to get it.”



This whole story is so unique, intriguing and so well plotted out... I have no coherent words, only dying whale noises for this review.

One of the things I loved the most in this book were all the little feminism speeches and how well placed they were. Especially when it came from the Butcher or Aodhan.

I love them so much and reading about alpha men respecting and protecting women and children is such a breath of fresh air when it comes to the dark romance sub-genre.

I’m so in love with Queenie, she’s an amazing main character and her evolution through out both series has been so flawlessly done so far.

Aodhan only got better and better with each scene, but he never felt too good to be true or anything like that. He and Queenie are just so incredible together, their chemistry off the charts good.

Atticus, on the other hand, didn’t manage to win me over. After all the pain and heartache he made Queenie go through, not even a bullet to the chest was enough redemption for me. And their sex scene left me quite uncomfortable. They weren’t in the right place as a couple to get to intimate the way he made her to. I wasn’t a fan of “don’t speak, don’t move, just take whatever I give you” coming from a dude who’s been lying and controlling her for years, before they could even have a conversation about it. I don’t know, it felt weird to me, not hot.

I’m worried the third book is going to leave a lot of unanswered questions for future books, but that only means more reading time in Mount Bay, so I won’t complain for now... lol
