Reina also is tasked with exposing her past to Asher and wondering if he’ll stay or hate her.
This wasn’t my favorite Rina Kent couple but all the mysteries were fun to try to piece together. I’ve already read God of malice which is about their son Killian, so this helped put his story into a bit more context.
One thing I usually love about Kent’s books is the camaraderie the main characters have with their friends. I wish we had gotten a bit more interaction between Reina, Sebastian, and Owen.

We know from book one that Asher’s sister committed suicide in the past. That’s continually discussed throughout this book. Also Reina struggles with depression but she actively fights those negative voices.gracelyn's review against another edition

“This is so fucked up,” she murmurs, as if translating my thoughts. “That we are.”
This book follows Asher Carson and Reina Ellis trying to figure out Reina’s past, along with figuring out why Asher’s revenge on Reina isn’t quite what it seems.
This book also didn’t hit the mark for me. It was good and okay, but probably not a book I would return and reread from. At the end of the book I was more excited to read the side character’s future books.
