i received a digital review copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. this did not affect my rating.

this is the second book in the buried and the bound series.

aziza, leo, and tristan are working on putting their lives back together, which can be quite hard with as many secrets as they’re sharing. plus, with the solstice approaching, members of the summer court have been appearing in blackthorn, attempting to claim leo’s sister. when leo refuses, the summer court’s princess challenges the coven to a game that is sure to have a high cost.

after reading the buried and the bound from owlcrate’s box last year, i’ve been really excited to see what happened next. there’s so much going on both plot- and character-wise, yet i feel like hassan combined all these elements very well to make the book intriguing. i loved seeing each of the characters grow, though there is one more character who needs a little more growing (or remembering), so i guess i’ll be sitting around not-so-patiently waiting for the next book😭
