Sinful Demon King by Nikki St. Crowe
3.0
So the second book in this series is definitely better than the first! The writing got better, not as clunky, and it flowed better. We got some character development and more backstory, which made the characters more likeable.
I do hate the "why are you always asking so many questions" tropes that books do to their female main characters. I feel like these FMC get thrown into a world or situation that they know nothing about, so as anyone would do they ask questions cause no one is explaining anything or giving any information, and then the other characters are like "why do you ask so many questions?" It drives me insane. I wish writers would either have characters explain more to the MC's, or if they ask questions not get so annoyed.
The spice got a little better. We got more, which was great. And I understand the dynamic between Wrath and Rain, that it's a mixture of hate/love, they're constant battle for control, but Wrath got a bit much for me at some points in the story. He constantly acts like Rain was out to get him, and I understand that has to do with his past and lack of trust, but also like he seems to forget that she didn't ask for any of this and it's all just happening to her. And then when he doesn't open up to her or explain what's happening he acts all shocked when she gets scared and runs.
All in all, the second book definitely got better and I'm more invested in the series and how it will finish.
