Thorns From The Fall by Jess Wisecup

4.0

After killing Bjorn and taking over the Chicago vampire coven, Gwyn is more powerful and more dangerous than ever. Roman should hate her. She murdered his best friend and tore apart everything he thought he stood for. But instead of staying away, he finds himself pulled deeper into her orbit. And when his long-lost brother suddenly returns, things spiral into a storm of revenge, lust, grief, and impossible choices.

The push-pull between Gwyn and Roman is magnetic. One moment they're at each other’s throats, literally, the next it’s steamy make-out sessions in the shadows of their enemies. It’s enemies-to-lovers, grief to obsession, love-to-battle kind of energy and it works.

Jess Wisecup really leans into the dark in this dark paranormal romance. The trauma, the loyalty wars, the moral grayness it all hits hard. Plus, the vampire world feels rich and cutthroat, with political backstabbing and supernatural intrigue that keep the stakes high, pun intended. Overall it's a deliciously dramatic end to a duet full of heartbreak, bloodlust, and heat.
