Thank you to Harper 360 for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Read full review: 9/1/2020.

This sequel has blood witches, werewolves, and a crazed king. It has blood debts, a mysterious gentleman named Claud Deveraux, and romance that makes your heart ache. However, if you did not love Serpent and Dove- you will not love this sequel.

I went into this book assuming it was the final in the series, not realizing the third book had been announced. While I would not say this book was slow, as I am an absolute fiend for character growth, it was a filler book. It definitely filled in gaps and set up the groundwork for the third book. There are a lot of plans and subplots at play during this sequel but never is it difficult to keep up. You are 100% left with a cliffhanger and many more questions than answers at the end of this. I don't spoil books in my reviews, but the ending of this genuinely had me holding my breath waiting for the comedown…and then the book ended.

For how long this book is, it feels a little frustrating that the majority of the exciting plot happened at the very end, and then we got left on a cliffhanger. Despite that, I really enjoyed the experience of reading, and Lou and Reid really had my heart the whole time.
