Wow, just wow.

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 really liked it somethings I already knew would happen because of the first book but I still loved how Strong Juniper was she is such a power woman! I love her and Zane together they are the perfect broken revenge team I feel like. I just really loved the revenge part in this one and that party were she got her piercing if you know you know it was sooo good omg!!!
