โ•ฐโ”ˆโžคCaraval is over. It has been a couple months since all of the fates were freed and Legend became somebody Tella does not recognize. He has also taken the throne for himself. Tella must choose him or somebody she never wanted to see again. And Scarlet has uncovered the biggest secret of them all. With all of their lives and their land hanging in the balance, the game seems to have just begun.

โ•ฐโ”ˆโžคThis is how you end a story. Omg, I was just as anxious as everyone else in the book the entire time. Tella & Legend, love them, love them so much. Scarlet & Julian, they are the definition of fated. Jacks, omg I still adore him even while he was the "villain" in this book, he still deserves the entire world. I don't fault Tella for what she did to him though either, he kind of brought it on himself but I still adore him. The story was a masterpiece, so many twists and turns, just when I thought I figured something out, BOOM, no you didn't. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This story will live rent free in my head for the rest of my life and I am totally okay with that.

โ•ฐโ”ˆโžคWhat is it about? Well, Beauty and the Beast, meets Vikings, with a twist. So Kvinna Elise is the second niece of the King. She has reached the proper marriage age and so the King has hired Legion, a negotiator, to lead the negotiations for the search for her future husband. Elise wants nothing to do with it, she wants to be free just as she wishes all of the people in the land could be free. When a coup upends the entire kingdom and she must flee with Legion, she learns his biggest secret and she has no idea who she can trust anymore and if she should listen to her brain and run or listen to her heart and save the only man she has ever cared for.

โ•ฐโ”ˆโžคI was hooked on this book from page 1, it was THAT good. The world building was easy to catch on to, the lore was also easy to understand and follow. The story was well paced and the timeline made sense. The magic system sounds intriguing, we didn't get to see much in action as this is book 1, but I am hopeful that we get to witness more of the fury in the rest of the series. The characters left nothing to be desired. I loved Legion, Tor, and Halvar so much, they all compliment each other in their little merry band of friends. Elise is a strong willed woman who can definitely take care of herself but does not mind if a man has to come in and save the day. And I love that for her. Legion and Elise together? I cannot wait for more of these scenes because I love them so much as they compliment each other in the absolute best ways even with her trust issues and his umm, issues, yeah. ๐Ÿ˜‚. Normally I skip around books, but I need to start the next book immediately so I ordered it last night after I finished this book lol. This book is everything and I cannot wait to see where the rest of the series goes.

Who wants to take a road trip to Montana? So serious, it sounds like a beautiful place. 

This story follows Indiya and West as it goes back and forth between past and present. Indiya and West met as children at his parents ranch where Indiya's family loved to stay at every summer. They started as friends, but then feelings blossomed when it was much too late, or so they thought. Now Indiya is back, and West is not happy with the reason why. Will Indy & West be able to stand the tension between them or will they finally snap in to something explosive? ๐Ÿ˜

I hybrid read this on kindle unlimited and audible audio. The story was so cute and fun. It was a great start to the Haven River ranch series. I loved it, watching Indy and West's friendship bloom in to so much more was so cute. I love them so much. And as someone who suffered a big loss a year and a half ago, I related to Indy A LOT and I cried with her a lot during this story and already expected one of the big plot twists. The only reason this wasn't 5 stars for me was because that plot twist was expected and the other big reveal was underwhelming. The whole story we know she is keeping something from West and then she reveals it and I was just like, that's it? ๐Ÿ˜‚ But it was still so good. I absolutely LOVE Devney's writing style and this book had me hooked from page one and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!

Then there's me, who shouts out my love for all the villains and morally grey fictional men. ๐Ÿ˜

โ•ฐโ”ˆโžคSo, pretty much what happens is there is another Caraval and Tella makes a deal with a hot asf stranger and all she has to do for him is get Master Legend's true identity. But things, yet again, are so much more than they seem. 

โ•ฐโ”ˆโžคThis story got even better since the first book. I loved Tella's pov as she is more optimistic and open to change, she is a glass half full type of gal and I adore her. Dante grew on me, that man is barkable, I will say. But JACKS, my true fictional love, ugh how I adore him. I did read the whole OUABH trilogy first though so maybe that's why I am biased and that man can do no wrong in my eyes, idc, he is perfect. You could tell me he ran over a squirrel and I would blame the car. Leave him alone. ๐Ÿ˜… The plot was insane, as to be expected, lots of twists and turns and mystery and I loved every single second of it. This book is a masterpiece and nobody will be able to change my mind on that.

The Jack and Adaira scenes though? ๐Ÿฅต

A Fire Endless is book 2 and the final book in the Elements of Cadence duology. This story continues where we left off in A River Echanted with Adaira still in the West with her discovered family, Moray being held captive in the East. Jack messy depressy, and whole new riddle to solve that could possibly end the islands troubles for good.

My rating: 3.25/5
While the book was still well written and closed all plot holes, it was slow, extremely slow at certain points. I almost DNFed 6 times, but this is one of those stories where I needed to know the ending so I pushed through. And I still love the characters. Jack is so sweet and a warrior with music and his words. Adaira is the strongest of them all with all the secrets she has had to endure. Torin and Sidra, ugh I love them with all of my heart. But, this book lacked the world building from book 1, the pacing was slow as I said, and then during some important parts the pacing was too fast. So for me, this book wasn't a mind blowing experience. But overall I would recommend this duology still, as a whole it is a beautiful story with complex characters and is worth the read.

โ•ฐโ”ˆโžคLana Myers is a girl who shouldn't exist, a ghost. Her one goal in life is to get revenge on an entire town who destroyed her life. She wasn't supposed to develop feelings for an FBI agent, and she was definitely not supposed to see a future with him. But when Agent Logan Bennett walks in to her life, she cannot help but see a happily ever after once the dust settles. But her plans cannot change, she made a promise, and she intends to keep it.

โ•ฐโ”ˆโžคMy thoughts. O M G, this series is EVERYTHING, I read one book at a time on Kindle Unlimited and every single book got 5 stars and I have ordered the series as a whole off of Amazon now because this will be a re-read and I must annotate. Lana is such a complex person with so many layers and I adore her with my entire heart. Logan is the same way, and the way he accepted her after finding everything out and even did what he did to earn her forgiveness? omg, I was SCREAMING for their HEA. I hate what happened to Lana to lead up to all of this though, but I love watching her get her revenge on the entire town, they all deserved it and Lana deserved peace. This will be on my yearly re-read list because it was THAT good. It is a dark thriller, filled with mystery, and sprinkled with a tad bit of spice. โค๏ธ

โ•ฐโ”ˆโžคAuren is Midas's favored, his gilded "pet", kept in a cage to protect them as Midas says. But when Midas makes a deal involving Auren, without her consent, the trust she once had in her protector starts falling away little by little. 

โ•ฐโ”ˆโžคThere is so much more depth to this story than what I typed above, but I don't want to say too much and ruin the entire plot. This is a story of self discovery, reclaiming your powers, and trying to survive in a misogynistic world where men hold all of the power. I love Auren so much, she is so much more than she believes herself to be and I love watching her growth slowly. And Midas? he can fuck right the fuck off. He disgusts me and reminds me of quite a few men I have had the displeasure of knowing. ๐Ÿคข
