Loved isn't the right word for how I feel about this book. The story is captivating and unexpected. The characters are multifaceted and have depth and the ending has you praying the gods and goddesses you don't have to wait too long the next book!
This book was extremely intriguing. There were many twists and turns that left me wondering what would happen next. I enjoyed reading it and can’t wait to read the next book.
Okay I am just going to jump straight to the end and say WTF! I need my Mische and I mean STAT! I am much like Asar, I am NOT a patient woman and I am absolutely not taking this whole cliffhanger very well.But to go back to the beginning I’ve always loved Mische and craved to know more of her back story as she always seemed so closed off on expressing anything remotely about her past. With it all u folding I can see why she’s chosen to either keep to herself or memory blocked it out. It’s a lot to take in. She’s lived such a different life that was forced upon her at such a very young age. Breaks my heart for her.Until she is forced up Asar who is choosing to use her in a different way that happens to be the best thing that’s ever happened. Although I can’t say she’s had an enjoyable time on this adventure since it seems like at every turn someone or something is trying to kill them. I am exhausted as heck for them. These two work so seamlessly together it was a no brainer when the sexual chemistry off the charts. They both deserved to know what true love feels and looks like. It just better not have been cut far far too short.If possible GET THE NARRATION! It’s so good ad the inflections had me full on chuckling with their banter nonstop!
I had a really hard time keeping up with this book and getting into it. It had a lot going on but it almost seemed like too much and yet it felt like it went on forever. It’s not a bad book and I love this author, but I think too much was crammed into this book and it made it very hard to read.
I was completely hooked by the vibes in this book, dark, eerie, and still so masterfully told. If I had any doubts before, they’re gone now. Carissa’s mind is pure magic, and I’ll be devouring every brilliant thing she gives us.
