Vicious Devotion
by Aveda Vice
In another lifetime, a different kind of blood would be spilled. This time, though, blood mingles on their tongues, lost in the scent of arousal and assurance and devotion. Beneath them, the ground hums a symphony.
This is the kind of book that brilliantly conquers a part of your mind! I’ll certainly be thinking about it for quite some time. It focuses on four unique, complex, and completely alluring individuals. Each goes through their own journey, that being self-discovery, freedom, or salvation. These four characters grow such intense relationships and throughout the story, they grow and unite with each other to create an intricate web. I really loved that there was a subtle hint of the “fated” and the “meant-to-be”. As like their souls were meant to collide.
This book is essentially multiple stories merging with each other. There is the cult (kind-of) trope, abandonment issues, self-doubt and so much more. The book is also as hot and steamy as Vesta’s breath! Hint: she is a phoenix.
The writing was amazing. I don’t think the book would have worked out if the writing wasn’t so good. There are four dynamic characters with secrets and sorrows that demanded time and talent to present their growth individually, as a pair, and all together. Along with that, there are interesting world-building and side characters. The idea of the residual magic really stuck with me.
I do think that the book was a bit longer than I would’ve liked. It stretched more than necessary in certain parts, and although its length the last few chapters were a bit hurried. They left me a bit confused as the story was rushing to the finish line. Also, I couldn’t connect with Lev as much as I desired. Don’t get me wrong, I liked her. She’s an Alpha fmc! What’s not to like? But, it felt like the adoration for her was a fact. As though the reader meant to love her because it was stated that she was kind and whole-hearted. Fortunately, there were actions to back up those claims.
I would love to read the stories of the side characters. If this book was any indication, any following stories will be a blast. Take into account that this story is about were-creatures, harpies, dryads, and other magical beings.
