Kissed by Death is a fantastic sequel to Bitten by Death! The banter between Vivienne and Grim is even better as they get to know one another. Also…there is spice in this book and it is….YES.

This series is getting good! Grim and Vivien have crazy chemistry that fuels both of their decisions into reckless and chaotic plot points. Discovering more about Viviens past and Grims intentions just douse the fire in fuel. I was roped in from the first chapter.

Enjoyed the push and pull between Grim and Vivien as they tried to find their footing.

I loved the tension that was created by having Vivian bound when having her freedom was one of the most important things to her. The dynamic between the two of them, especially when she had to feed was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better way to force sexual tension. The politics we now see more of in this book continue to push the overall plot further and we see just how at risk Vivian is among them all with her limited knowledge. Still a great time and the friendships that come from this story are absolutely amazing.

Grim & Vivian: This Couple Just Got Hotter! -5 Stars
Grim and Vivian are on the hunt for a missing god, Amet, who devours dark souls brought in by the reapers. Since he has gone missing, Grim has had to absorb the souls, lest leashing them out into humanity which is a very bad thing. They race against the clock to locate Amet before the souls consume and destroy Grimm.
I am definitely here for Vivian and Grimm in this book! My review of Book One was not as favorable as this one due to world-building, which I hate, but I understand it’s a necessary evil. My affection for this couple and continuing on with the series is because it read like I was watching an episode of LUCIFER, which is my favorite show! I love how these two interact with one another!
The smexy factor was definitely present in this book! It definitely made up for the lack of it in Book One. I loved that we saw a softer side of Grimm and Vivian was funny as ever with her wisecracking. I just love these two.
I enjoyed this book so much I cannot wait to get to Book Three.
Happy reading!

Okay this series started out as a 3 star for me but boy has that changed by the second book! I was a little bummed it didn’t seem like there was going to be any spice throughout the series but was extremely pleasantly surprised that there was in this one! And the spice is spicy lol
Vivian’s internal dialogue seriously had me laughing throughout this entire second book, I love her badass snarky stubborn attitude and it’s exactly what I want out of an FMC. I have loved seeing her grow into an even more badass bounty hunting vampire ninja in this second book and can’t wait for the finale of the trilogy!
I loved grim’s character development in this book as well and it’s been great to see him grow over the course of the last 2 books. I read this entire book in a little over 24 hours it was that good! Sometimes adult vampire romances are a hit or miss but this series is definitely a hit! I definitely recommend reading it.
5/5 ⭐️

I don’t really have a lot to say about this. I really liked it but it wasn’t anything special. I can’t wait to read the next book and see how this series ends!
