so many Spicy scenes in this one!

The story is really good, but the amount of smut, was a bit too much for me.
the story about their relationship and the kingdom, was really intriguing.

The End

I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first. I found the characters more engaging, it was definitely much spicier but the end. What!!! I can't wait to read the next one.

Better Than The 1st

This book was better than the 1st book. Loved the writing, the world building, and the twists.🌶🌶🌶🌶

Furies that was epic

First let’s talk about,“Hold on to the rail”! This book is definitely scorching with romance (open door scenes). If you liked ACOSF this similar.
The Romance:Thea and Wilder are fighting the lines of mentor/mentee vs wanting to be lovers. Wilder cannot resist her, right!?. Not after what went down in book 1! Well really they can’t resist each other, but come on Thea really? Friends?! (Rolling my eyes). However, there is a lot of miscommunication between characters this time around, and too many secrets are being held. Betrayals are bound to happen.
The Fantasy/Plot: Anyways, the story does continue with Thea’s training and her skills have now amplified with her new powers unlocked, resulting in her becoming a fierce confident badass. Evil is stirring and talk of the Daughter of Darkness and a Shadow Prince are rising. There is more exploration of the realm, talks about different magic, and introductions to monsters and blights that Guardians and Warswords are to defeat. Oh and the Veil is become weaker and armies may be assembling 😏 Hope Thea and Wren can figure out those suppressed powers soon.
Thoughts at the end…. Ohhhhh snap!!! I had a feeling there was something else going on. Oh the betrayal! I told you! Love the twist at the end. I’m not even mad really. I’m rubbing my hands together ready for more in book 3. Oh this is going to be so good. Also, the very very end gave me LOTR vibes 😍

A True Adventure

Somehow this this was almost better than the first book? With even more adventure, heat and magic, Vows & ruins kept me engaged—and even got a few laughs out of me. It takes incredible writing to make such intimacy believable and palpable, and the author nailed it (no pun intended—well, kind of).
