A Favorite Quote: ““I’m glad I could be a port in the storm that was your life.” His heart ached for her. “You saved me more than you know,” she whispered.”
Self-written Blurb: We are back again in the world of Elyria for the second installment of the Mind Breaker series. With Aelia finally reunited with her sister, Baylis, she should be able to relax a little and enjoy her time with Tharan. But there is no time to rest. Gideon and Erissa are still out there… scheming… planning, even from the shadows in which they lurk in. The team will each have a vital role in locating and putting a stop to the villains of this story. But all may not be as it seems. Secrets, lies, betrayals will threaten Aelia’s resolve and quest to save all of Elyria from the rise of an evil who was only ever interested in power. Can Aelia, Tharan, Baylis, Caiden, Roderick, and Amolie get to the Trinity Wells before it is too late?
What I enjoyed: This book was enjoyable. I found myself wishing that Caiden would get his memories back and come rushing back to Amolie and steal her away from Tharan. There was a lot going on in the book so there was hardly ever a dull moment. The twist at the end did get me. Was NOT expecting that!
Any struggles?: I’m personally not the greatest fan of Tharan as their relationship really only seems at surface level for Amolie. So this book was a little harder for me to stick with than the first book. There are a lot of characters and a lot going on and so that made it difficult for me to really connect and be completely invested with the characters.
Tropes:
Women kicking butt
Toy play
Yearning
Forced proximity
Epic quests
Everyone is morally gray
Trust no one
Will I recommend and to who: I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a found family (aka: a bunch of friends and allies working together for a common goal) and a plan to save the kingdom with many moving parts (each of which could go wrong at any moment).
