Well, it’s been a few days since I finished this book and I’m still just as confused about it as I was after [b:Trickery|33898320|Trickery (Curse of the Gods, #1)|Jaymin Eve|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1484709065l/33898320._SY75_.jpg|54759820]. I thought maybe some distance would bring clarity, but NOPE. I just... don’t understand what’s happening to me???? Some kind of written wizardry is going on. That is the only explanation why I would love a reverse harem series this much.



This story is so random and chaotic, I should probably hate it. But DAMMIT. There’s something so endearing about the humor and characters the authors have established and I can’t get enough of it. The crazy way it's written and the randomness of the story are actually pretty clever given the subject matter. Willa and her infamous inner monologues always manage to make me laugh. Plus, all the guys are just adorable and I love their banter.



In the last novel I was constantly mixing up the guys and getting them all confused. Willa would mention someone by name and I would have no idea who she was talking about. But now I'm starting to know each one and their individual personality, which has been really cool to see evolve. And I forgot to mention this before, but Vanessa Moyen totally deserves a shout out. She's a GREAT narrator and has brought so much life to these characters. I'm pretty convinced that she's half the reason why I find this series so hilarious.

I will say that this second installment fell a little flat after the last one. The beginning of the story dragged on and it took a little time before I really got into it. Plus, this just wasn't quite AS funny as Trickery. I mean, I can only laugh at Willa falling on her face so many times before the novelty wears off.

FINAL WORD
Another hilariously fun masterpiece! If you loved the first one, you'll love this one too.
