Ruthless Fae by Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham
4.0

4 ⭐️ Much better than the first book!


FYI: My reviews won’t be as detailed as usual because I just don’t give a shit and I am desperate to read the next book in the series IMMEDIATELY.


So here are my quick thoughts:


The romance is more straightforward instead of manipulative like in the first book. There is one sex scene that was hot, but it's like a 2 our of 5 on the spice meter. Y'all told me this series is spicy so where is it???

There's a bit more world building and explanation as to what’s really going on in the world of the fae. I really wish there was even more of this. All we've seen is the academy when they're in this big fae world. Can we get a history or geography lesson? Seriously, please bore me with an info dump because I think I need it, and so do Tory and Darcy.

The writing still isn’t great but the story got more interesting. I loved that the Vega twins covertly fight back against the Heirs! Payback is a bitch! Also, wayyyyyy less bullying from the Heirs. Thank the gods!

While the descriptive pitball game was boring AF (seriously, I don't ever want to read another descriptive scene like this again), the battle at the end was epic!!! I need more fights like this!
And the way Darcy is so protective of Lance and how Tory freaks over almost losing Darius during the battle. . . y'all they are definitely Elysian Mates.


Predictions:
1. Tory and Darius / Darcy and Liam are Elysian mates.
2. Tory is a Dragon. Darcy is a Hydra.
3. Lionel is coordinating with the nymphs or let them loose in order to gain more power.

*I'd like to be clear that none of these books actually deserve anything more than 3-stars when it comes to the writing. These ratings are strictly based more on my enjoyment level of the drama. I know this is not good literature, but it keeps sucking me in!
