I want to note that this book is ADULT and SMUTTY. I first entered this world with the Kingdom of the Wicked series which is definitely more YA. I loved that story and that world so much that I was beyond excited when I saw this book was coming out. I didn’t however plan for the amount of sexual content that came with this book. I am a fantasy reader, not really one for romance and definitely not one for smut. The underlying story and character is what kept me reading even though the sexual parts were quite cringe. I loved the connections that were built, loved the reconnecting presence of the princes of hell, as well as the supernatural aspects of werewolves, vampires, and fae. I think I would’ve liked it more without the smut just because that’s not my cup of tea. I loved the general back story, loved the view we get of hell. I even loved the connection we get to see between the town that Camilla is from and how it is influenced by the introduction to the princes of hell, their sins, and the things that move in the dark. I think that the storyline held true to what we expect when it comes to these women being in close contact with sin. Camilla was a strong female lead and definitely held her own against Envy.
The game they were playing throughout the book kept the book flowing. The secrets that both Envy and Camilla kept from each other, helped to give them layers and he me falling in love with their characters the further we reached into their lives. At times both of them definitely got on my nerves, but why strong willed person doesn’t. You get insight into both Camilla and Envy’s mind as they try to save Envy’s realm.
After finishing the Kingdom of the Wicked series, all I wanted was more insight into the world that was built and the sinful princes of hell. This book definitely delivered on that and I’m excited to see what story we get next about these brothers.
The previous series isn’t MANDATORY to read but to get full understanding and comprehension I definitely recommend it.
If you enjoy the dark things of the supernatural, powers, sin, with some dark twists and turns then I think this will be a good book for you. If you enjoy smut this will be more up your alley but even if not and you enjoy all other parts, maybe still give this a try or check out the previous series. I will definitely continue to follow the princes throughout their individual stories and can’t wait to see what darkness they bring in next.
