Wrathful Mortals by Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham
5.0
I continue to fall love with the revamp of this series with each book, and Wrathful Mortals did not disappoint! Even knowing the major plot points from the first editions, I am still on the edge of my seat and devouring these books like it's the first time. While there is no shortage of action or plot advancement in Wrathful Mortals, we also get a lot of character development as some of the things our characters thought they were certain of are challenged. It delivers all of the angst we've come to expect and love from our Twisted Sisters.
Callie and Montana are reunited at last, but it is not all sunshine and roses. They have found a semblance of freedom but are not truly free, and they have both changed in their time apart. The experiences they faced have led them down different paths. Between the slayer vow and partnership mark, Callie feels like she's losing herself. Her hate has only grown, and she is more determined than ever to end the vampires with the slayers, while Montana doesn't see all of them as evil like she did before her time with the Belvederes. She feels like an outsider that doesn't really fit anywhere anymore, especially as she is finally forced to own up to her true feelings for Erik, not just to her sister but to herself.
The slow burn is still burning, but we finally get a little bit of relief with the promise of more on the horizon. Since the twins are with the slayers, we don't see Erik for much of the book except for his flashback chapters. That is until things between the vampires and the slayers come to a head again. This happens in the last 20% or so of the book, with everyone caught in the middle of Andvari and Idun's games. All of our MCs begin to understand that it is the gods that are their true enemies, especially when those wicked games force them to make a decision that none of them wanted and leave them more desperate than ever to figure out the prophecy and break the curse. This book was so good! Bring on Book 5!
