A Dance in the Devil's Arms: Pride

5.0

inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

This book just kept me wanting more and more . There are many times I wanted to smack the FMC Savanah for being a dumb brat, when her Husband Michael is nothing but amazing . Read to find out how Savanah, an author deals with the trials of life and learning just how stubborn hearted she really is . The ending had me mind blown

This book just wow!! It’s all the fantasy a girl could want! I feel the subjects touched in this are very close to what could happen in this world . Found family, unexpected magic ( very unique magic system) Forbidden knowledge, beyond smart fmc and a morally grey Mac. Just a little bit of spice sprinkled in that was perfection!!
Favored line in the book for me :
“Books are dangerous.They give ideas. They give you possibilities. They allow you to see what the world could be. And most dangerous of all, they give you hope. Unrelenting hope. That is why they don’t forget any us to have them.”

Love that it picks right up with the cliffhanger of book one! I wasn’t sure that the dynamic of our four main characters would keep so well!! One bad ass fmc and her three men 💜
