Publisher's summary

The curse will destroy us all.

Montana:
I’m changed beyond return, my life torn apart by the god who forced this fate upon me.

Now I’m a creature of ruin and bloodshed, but the price I’ve paid comes with the sweetest of gifts.

The prince who claimed my heart has seized me once again, but this time, I’m on equal ground. I’m strong enough to fight at his side and face the wrath of our enemies, but some dark plot is brewing in the city, and I fear what’s coming.

Because it feels like an unforgiving storm.

Callie:
My sister is lost, and I don’t know if we will ever be whole again. Will she love me as she once had, or will her newfound hunger be the death of us?

Though I’ve reclaimed my freedom, the taste of it is bittersweet. Because without my twin, nothing feels right.

And even though I can finally claim the man my soul aches for, I’m afraid of the darkness seeping into my life.

The threat of gods and monsters is mounting upon us by the hour, and time is running out to save us all.

***This is a dark, fantasy romance series by the authors of Zodiac Academy with all the enemies to lovers vibes – don’t go expecting a sweet vampire with sparkling skin and a tendency to watch you sleeping. These vampires are savage and bloodthirsty, and the slayer who hunts them will stab first and ask questions later. This war-torn fantasy world is a brutal bi*ch and only those 18+ have a chance at surviving the darkness lurking in this book. There’s no well-meaning vampires snacking on Bambies instead of babies, and if they get their teeth into you, you’ll be damn lucky to escape with your life and panties intact. So grab hold of your slayer blade (wooden stakes have too many splinters) and get ready to defy the gods, because this is going to be one helluva ride***

Amazing!

Loved this so much. I literally was on my seat from start to finish. I love the twisted sisters so much! I swear I would read their grocery list. Another banger!

little depressed

loved it all the way through but I got to tell you the truth hated the ending

Great series continuation

Twisted sister just keep on trucking. The plot has you gripped by the hand and keeps pulling you on. I really feel like it’s starting to get its stride here. These narrators also do such a fantastic job bringing the characters to life. Great listen for those who love paranormal romance and the twisted sisters writing. Def start at the beginning though!

Very fun

Fun. Not super deep but fun and the characters were fun. I wish the next book were available on tape

Loved it!

*Spoiler*
Good series, love the characters! I cracked up about Erik and Magnar kissing! 😭😭😭 It’s worth a credit or a buy. They need to hurry up and drop the last 2 books, I don’t have time to read them on my kindle

Cliffhanger gah!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

"I dreamed of you every night before I met you"'You were the most desperate desire of my heart a thousand years before you were even born."

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I felt it’s one of the best of the series yet! And I’ve loved them all so much! The cliffhanger was wild but also funny? You’ll see. 🤣 this is a MUST READ series for anyone who loves pnr stories and Twisted Sisters fans. This series showcases everything I love about their writing and it’s an absolute TREASURE of a series. With five books down, it’s the perfect bingeable story!

Well well well

I did not see this coming, although I knew something big was brewing! Can’t wait for the next books to be on audio!!!

Forced alliance got really real!

Defy the Gods!

I knew the forced alliance would be awkward and make for some great interactions, but I did not see the story taking the turn it did! The Gods are total jerks. Just when I thought they’d all band together with a trauma bond strong enough to overcome the Gods and Valentina, the Gods intervene and rip into the tentative alliance. Fleeing for their lives, the group must make tough decisions that seem to make it impossible to end the curse.

Valentina’s backstory was highlighted more in this book and I have so many questions about her plans. Power, it seems is her goal, but I feel like there’s more to it.

I can’t wait to see what happens to these characters in the next book (spoiler warning). Here’s what I’m hoping for:

Clarice and Julius finally hooking up - it will be epic and hopefully one day result in lots of babies.

Fabian redeeming himself and doing something that breaks his bond to Callie but also finds him happiness.

Valentina explaining why she lied about killing Magnar to Erik and why she didn’t actually do it if she knew his location.

Erik and Magnar rising up against the biters and Valentina.

Let’s hope it happens!

Beware when everything seems to be going right!

I’m just sucked into this story and the narrators do an amazing job making you fall in love with the characters and experience the adventures of the characters. I love how the dynamics of the characters change throughout the book, but in typical fashion of these authors, once things seem to be going right and improving… that’s when you have to beware about what’s about to happen next. I can’t wait for the next story to be released!!!

Oh the cliffhangers!

Every time I feel like they’re close to solving the prophecy something backfires. I was so happy to see progress in both sides working together but naturally these books can’t leave on a good note. These cliffhangers always have me on the edge of my seat! Still really enjoying the series.
