A Kingdom of Blood and Betrayal

Stars and Shadows, Book 2

By: Holly Renee

Narrated by: Stella Hunter, J.F. Harding

My fate is bonded to two princes—one born of blood, the other of power—but my trust lies in neither.

My skin is cursed by the stars, my fate damned by desire.

When the dark prince offers me a bargain that will save his people and my life, the cruel and intoxicating male gives me no choice. Our union is his revenge, and I am his sacrifice.

His lies are unforgivable. His wicked touch still bathes me in sin. He is my mate, and he is tortured by a curse to protect his people from his own family.

I can now see him for exactly who he is. So why can’t I get his alluring touch out of my head?

I am the key to saving his kingdom, but he alone has the power to ruin me.

loved it all over again

Again feel in love with this book and characters all over again. Idk why audible isn't showing that I have already listened to it but I have. It didn't record my last review either. I will wait to re-listen to book three after audible have published book 4 to purchase. I typically hate "princess " nicknames but coming from his mouth💥

The spice spices but the plot falls short.

Disappointing overall. The book feels like mostly filler and spice, which if cut out, the book would be a third of the length, and it’s already short. The back-and-forth between Evren and Adara is tedious, and the constant “my mate” and “I’ll give you anything you want” lose all meaning after the tenth time. The spice delivers, sure, but the plot barely moves, and Evren’s narration even felt off this time. I expected more after book one.

Great sequel

I definitely did not see the end coming for this book (book 2). I’m hooked and will be reading book 3 shortly.

The voice actors did a great job

They made me believe I was watching a movie with how good their acting of the characters were!

Great performance!

I love both of the voice actors they do such a good job and they along with the story are a great spicy adult fantasy that had me both intrigued with the storyline and loci gong the dirty talk! I just wish it was longer or the next book was out because I want to read it but also don’t want to miss out on the performance of these two in order to continue the story!
