4.0

An even spicier, kinkier read than the first. This one follows Juniper and Zane, another human/demon pairing within the same timeline as the first book. 

But it wasn't all spice and kink! There's revenge, murder, a burgeoning love story (that I believed a bit more than Rae and Leon's), a LOT of trauma, and a death cult to an eldritch god....

It's a somehow spicy yet traumatic read if you like dark romance, but be sure to read the triggers!

I thought this book was great, and a lot better than the first book. I find Juniper and Zane to be a much more likable couple than Raelynn and Leon (though they weren’t bad). I loved the banter between Juni and Zane, and I very much enjoyed Juniper’s character development throughout the book! Spice was great too. 10/10
