I love me a solid sequel.
And this one is made that much better in that the series itself is just so fun!
I’ve got a soft spot for urban fantasy because it’s the kind of sub-genre that keeps things interesting with its twists on the modern world and technology with fantastical elements such as magic and fictional creatures but also fast-paced enough to keep a reader engaged with the plot. The Bedeviled AF series is just that, with mystery subplots and a delightful slow-burn with baggage between Aviva and Ezra, two exes that could fill a train with how many secrets lie between them and the ones they care for.
I’m enjoying learning more backstory of the characters, particularly Darsh and Ezra, and was giddy with excitement when we got a reveal in terms of parentage of the Aviva sort. The banter and dialogue are a highlight of the story, and I love how even though the stakes often seem diminished at times, it more so feels like the books aren’t taking themselves too seriously.
Solid instalment of the series, and I’ll definitely be continuing on with the sequel.
