This is book 2 in the Beasts of Gatamora series, and while I believe you can read them as standalones, I recommend starting with ๐˜‹๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฌ ๐˜Š๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ ๐˜–๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜จ๐˜ข to have the best understanding of the story. 

The plot is so intriguing, it has you hooked from start to finish. Thereโ€™s strong character development, plot twists and spice. The spice happens pretty early on in this book but itโ€™s done in a way that doesnโ€™t take away from but rather enhances the storyline.

In this book, we get a FMC who is loving and selfless, but can and will strongly voice her desires with our MMC, Yaron. And while Kiandah is strong, she still struggles with insecurities that Iโ€™m sure all of us can relate to. Overall, her whole character is refreshing. 

Yaron gives burnt cinnamon roll vibes. He is so obsessed with Kiandah, he would let the world burn to ashes to have her. She is his sunshine, and with her around heโ€™s..happy. 

They say the second book is better when it comes to a series, and for Beasts of Gatamora, I agree! I also canโ€™t wait to see whatโ€™s in store next because that ending of Shadowlands Omegaโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘€.

I received this book as an ARC.
