Annora and Thadd are less enemies to lovers and more rivals They are each second-in-command and used to being n charge - so working with each other was always going to be a challenge but neither wanted to let their leader down.
Thadd and his energy sword (I kept seeing lightsabers - wrong Sci Fi adventures lol) and Annora who can shapeshift - on their own are immensely lethal but together they may just be unstoppable - if they don't kill each other first!
There have been a few misunderstandings/misconceptions between these two but when they finally call a truce to get the job done they realise they have more in common than not. They share selflessness when it comes to protecting others, a burning passion whenever they take time to find a partner and strong friendships with their leaders.
There is plenty of skullduggery afoot as Daddy Dearest, King of the Scum, is still causing problems with his maniacal scientists. The blood did boil when I realised what the crazy scientist was up to. I loved the addition of a "pet", they always add another layer to the story. Annnnnnnnd now I know where Gray's HEA has managed to get herself into danger - I was wondering how she was going to appear. Roll on book 4!
