Ancient Vendetta by Katie Reus

4.0

I’ve been anticipating King and Aurora’s story for a long time and it did not disappoint! I’ve been anticipating King and Aurora’s story for a long time and it did not disappoint! The plot was well-paced, the characters were multi-dimensional, and the romance was a perfect slow burn.

The Plot:

As usual we had the plot that’s been going on since the beginning, of getting New Orleans back of it’s feet since the dragon attacks that revealed the supernatural. I liked getting to see more of the details of how this was happening since King and Aurora are both large parts of the effort to repair the city and improve it. The other main plot is someone that is threatening New Orleans to get to King. These two main plots balance each other out really well since one is slow going and the other is intense and happens quickly.

The Characters:

I absolutely adored Aurora in this book. She was just so kindhearted, strong, and determined. I really liked getting to see her come into her own and be the alpha to her crew and being King’s liaison between the supernatural in the city. Another thing I appreciated was that the trauma she experienced wasn’t just swept under the rug. She was still learning to deal with what happened.

As for King, I’ve been intrigued by him from the moment we met him. I loved diving into his character and seeing how loyal, brave, and strong he is. And the devotion he has to protecting the people in his territory.

The Romance:

King and Aurora’s relationship was the perfect slow burn. Things moved at the perfect pace and it was beautiful to see them open up to each other and get to just be. The only complaint I have is that we didn’t get to see more of them together. I know we’ll see glimpses of them in future installments in the series, but I want more of just them.
