House of Shifter and Smoke

Shades of Ruin and Magic, Book 3

By: Meg Xuemei X

Narrated by: Victoria Mei

Killian

Soon, I’ll have to marry the most powerful queen and rule two kingdoms.

But all I want is Barbie, the new girl in my house and the only thing I can’t have.

If I take her for my own, she’ll be murdered.

I know I should stay away from her, but I no longer can, even if the kingdoms collapse and the world burns as a consequence.

I might be the villain in the story, but without her, there’s no meaning to my brutal, miserable existence.

So, I start to push her to the breaking point so she can survive the bride trials and rise above it all.

Only I don’t expect it to hurt so much to see my rivals, the other heirs, swoop in to try to make her theirs.

Victoria Mei is the real star here!! Her narration of all the characters is nothing short of fabulous. She has been consistent from book 1 with her portrayal of Barbie and Sy and even the heirs!

Killian and Barbie get closer, the plot against Barbie gets more sinister and Sy is back !

I'm a little annoyed that this ended in yet another cliffhanger because of where it ends off. Also how is Sy getting her HEA if Barbie is with Killian?
Where is this storyline headed? Will this be a reverse harem situation? That seems the only way this can end.

This reader needs answers! Well done Meg.. you hooked me good!

Cliffhanger

One hell of a cliffhanger . I can't wait for the next book. Barbie , how will her world change after this revelation

the narrative and plot

how the next book seamlessly goes into the next book in the series a must read

Really, really good

Book #3 in the Shades of Ruin and Magic. Meg's incredible writing combined with Victoria's awesome narration made for a wonderful story that kept my attention the entire time.
