"the devil on his demon horse with his bride, who wasn’t as reluctant as she should have been."
This book has the best world within a world from the entire series so far. Also...look at the cover, urgh, how gorgeous are these two!😍.I am officially Team Tanith and Oren; Toren? from the Tower Knights Series. The ginger Fallen/Fey/Magic-Thrall hottie and his flute can lure me all the way to hell or whatever that other dimension is called. I've removed my headphones sir, play your tune.
This story makes the first 2 look boring - and they were 4⭐books!
Comeuppance is a theme in all the books so far but Book 2 was repentence and redemption and Book 1 was revenge to facilitate liberation. This book takes those themes and cranks it to 100.
Plot/Storyline/Themes:
Music is such a guiding force in this series and I love that. Book 1, opera vocalists. Book 2, gorgeous cottagecore violinists and book 3 Flutes, Revenge, skulduggery, immortal torture and thievery.
Sigh, I'm over it but just to reiterate - why oh why do the MMC's in this series have 5 pov chapters nestled between the FMC's pov? Is it to keep us interested because okay sure you win. I'm interested AF.
Two Sentences, A Scene or less - Characters:
Tanith is steadfast, strong, wiley, sneaky, orphaned and an abused high society woman trapped in the palace of her tormentor Uncle/Lord Faren of Dowler.
Oren The Devil of Dowler is powerful, intelligent, beautiful, angelic, feral-fey, tall, sexy, vengeful, protective, a freaking healer and my favorite from All the Tower Knights. He is too damn fine. He can turn me into an immortal anytime with his ...ahem... weapon
*Scoot scoot, into the Book Husbands shelf you go. Make friends okay?*
Lord Faren can just drop dead.
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene:
CHAPTER 22 &23: The Storm. The Hag. Oren's roar. Blood of the Fallen. Se magnifique!
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:
🖤 “The dead need their gifts for the afterlife and if we steal from them, especially from a saint, there will be consequences.” (Don't do it Tanith. Did nobody watch The Mummy??? )
🖤 “A bolt of carnal lust went through me again. Why wasn’t my brain working? I should be screaming, begging, not thinking of furious kissing.” (why is this scene so ... hot?😍)
🖤 “This was drastic magic, dangerous, but I’d come back from the dead to win, and this time, I’d go to any extreme to free the thralls.” (Oren determined and darkly enigmatic. Lord have mercy)
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts:
■The Truth about Oren & King of Hearts
■Pip The Gargoyle😍
■Magic-Thralls
■Unwelcome Guest/Body Snatcher Witch
■Oren's Familiars: especially demon horse
■Immortality Transfer: carnality
