Are we any closer to figuring out Gareth's murderer? No.
Is this book even steamier than the first? YES.
I love Peckham & Valenti's vivid imagination and worldbuilding, as well as their uncanny sense of humor. It's so refreshing when a fantasy book can have me laughing out loud by myself reading. I also love that I'm learning a lil' Italian thanks to Dante. Usually with RH is that there's always one guy I'm not very wild about, but honestly, I love all four of these guys - I don't blame Elise for not being able to choose. Well, that and I guess one of them did very likely kill her brother. Guess I better go get book 3 to figure out who!
