Revived by Kora Knight
5.0
This was bloody fantastic - even better than book 1! "Revived" is the second book in the duology, the first half takes place at the same time as book 3-6 of Kora Knight's other series, "Up-Ending Tad", the rest afterwards.
I enjoyed how smart and compassionate Sean was, always thinking of new plans how to finally get Max. And Max was a much more likeable character than in "Unearthed" - reading the 1st book I basically wanted to kill him, but now I can relate to him so much. It's great that "Revived" is written from both their perspectives as it show how both of them suffer while being apart. I'm not sure if I've ever connected this much to BOTH main characters in a romance novel.
There are also several scenes that are told from Sean's or Tad's perspective. While I liked this when the information revealed in those scenes pertained to Sean and/or Max, I didn't like it so much when it focused on Scott and Tad's relationship. Don't get me wrong - I love these guys too, but it would have been better if the book sole focused on Max and Sean. Thankfully, the scenes from Tad's or Scott's point of view didn't take over but they did pull me out of the story when they were thrown in.
Kora Knight absolutely NAILED the climax of the story though. And a scene towards the end made me cry. So many feels! The ending wrapped up very nicely and I liked the HFN Max and Sean get. This was an extremely satisfying read. Also: I'm track to read all the novels Kora Knight ever published. One of my new favourite authors for sure.
