This book was wilddd 
I was tempted not to read cause I really hadn’t liked the first book in this series cause the FMC had really annoyed me off in the first one but I thought this was wayyy better 
The plot is probably even darker than the first one and definitely be aware of what you’re getting into but I am glad I read this one!!

dark tense slow-paced

3.5

Wow. I’ve read dark romance before but this was a WHOLE another level. I really did enjoy Zane and Junipers dynamic tho and Harley did a great job of including it in the trilogy but also making it a stand alone. Like I wasn’t bored with any of the repetition of information or plot points which was awesome

I'd like to start this review off as saying, I'm pretty sure this low rating was all on me and not the book. I just had a really hard time wanting to pick this story up for some reason. It felt slow to me, but I can't explain why (other than the possibility that I already somewhat knew what would happen from book 1). I now know for a fact that this couples' kinks were not for me...the blood play and the gun play were too far for my tastes and left me feeling nothing during their steamy scenes. Which, honestly, I was shocked by. This hasn't happened to me in a taboo/high steam romance before. I found myself not really connecting with either MC, as well. A small thing, but I also wish the epilogue had been...more? We barely got anything from it and it wasn't very far from when the full storyline took place. So...not very helpful to see the couple coming together in bliss after the fact. 

I still recognize that this book was well written and did lots of things right, I just couldn't click with it for some reason.

The sex in this is deliciously depraved, our MC’s are a lovely pair of kinky switches. The book hits a huge swath of the most common BDSM related kinks from bondage to permanent marking to primal. 
This book took me a long time to read. I had to take many breaks while reading because the subject matter felt so sole consuming and serious.

In this sequel to Harley Laroux's Her Soul To Take, Her Soul For Revenge certainly starts off with a bang. Our heroine, Juniper Kynes, is the perfect badass bitch antithesis to the happy-go-lucky (if a bit reckless for her own good) Rae. A survivor, Juniper is on the run from a cult and her haunted past. She crosses paths with sexy demon Zane, and Laroux doesn't hold back on the steam with these two. A beautiful blend of Lovecraftian horror, kinky erotica, and feminine rage, HSFR gives us more monsters, a driving plot, and a deeper peek into Laroux's demon world. This is the perfect read for spoopy season; spooky enough to give me chills (and maybe feel a little on edge in the dark), yet spicy enough to make me forget my fears when I'm thinking about Zane's tongue rings instead (I swear I needed a drink of water after every spicy scene). I also appreciated the emotional development in the love story between Zane and Juniper. And after her cameo, I can't wait to see Evelyn's story in the third installment of the series.

Book is released October 30th, pick up a copy for the perfect Halloweenie read.
Spook on, fellow freaks!

Note: please read trigger warnings in info - additional: cult / religious cult

I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ♡
