5 Stars

There are parts that are that I absolutely loved.
Believe it or not, most of those parts were NOT about Rhage & Mary.

Nope, it was the parts about Assail that I found to be spectacular.
His drug dealing and addiction was put out on display. He had that moment of truly seeing himself. Oh, and the cloak-and-dagger parts with him working for Wrath, the king...
LOVED IT!

There is a lot that happens in this one. Too much to really give each element its due. So I am just going to say;

✅ The Rhage/Mary parts are good and real page turners.
✅ Layla, Quinn, Blay and Xcor all have parts that give you a gasp or two.
✅ Z and V also have some intriguing moments.
✅ There are some new characters brought in, and towards the end, one of them makes you
sit up and say,"Oh Sh**!"

Can't wait for the next book in this and the new spin off series, Black Dagger Legacy.
