I love both Meagan Brandy & Amo Jones writing so this was a very anticipated read for me. I absolutely loved it!!!!! This book had ALL of my favorite tropes. These two Authors separately are amazing, but together they made MAGIC!!

*CHECK YOUR TRIGGERS*

This is book two in the Sinister Arrangement Duet. It picks up right where book one ends with a 5 year time jump.

What a great conclusion to the duet! This book was WILD.. I'll honestly never forget about the pear.. if you know you know. :P

β€œYou can spit your venom, but look at you now, unraveling like you were made for me, little viper.”

This book was so good! It had me sucked in from the very beginning. Santana and Amy collabing together is EVERYTHING!

The plot and pacing was great. The spice in this book had me literally sweating!

β€œSometimes, we meet that person who turns our whole world upside down. They have us feeling things we never thought we would, have us changing every plan we’ve ever made.”

I absolutely loved Emory & CΓ©sar!!! I can’t wait for book two!

This book was very plot driven. It had me hooked from the beginning. The world building was exceptional! I fell in love with the characters and the story. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it’s in 3rd person which isn’t my favorite. It was still overall an amazing read and I will definitely be continuing the series.

REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS

I was sceptical about starting this book, because of the mixed reviews. I saw it on Amazon for free so i said what the heck.

I Normally only connect with first-person POV but i got use to it in the first chapter..

Sera is an innocent girl with a traumatized past, falls in love with Liam a frat playboy to only find out later that he is for one a Vampire. As the book progresses you realize their "Love" is more than a college romance. They are connected on another level, meaning they cannot live without each other even if they wanted to.

I've never read about vampires quite like those in this book. They are warm not cold as ice, they have beating hearts, they bleed, they can have children, they can be in sunlight (unless certain circumstances happen), they basically imprint on their true love and become possessive, Etc.

I really enjoyed this book and all characters, the only thing that bothered me was some things were rushed, should have been a longer book for the amount of information and events that took place.

I highly recommend this book, if you need your vampire fix. You will not be disappointed. :)
