We pick up afraid Brex is kidnapped.
So much, yet so little happens in this book. I felt like it was very repetitive and the whole Brex/Warwick tension is getting frustrating, and not in a good way. It's been played out at this point, we get it, they have literal explosive chemistry, let's move on to the plot now.
Towards the end, we do find out a few interesting tidbits that move the story along.We find out that her mom was secretly fighting in the war on the opposite side as her father. Seems like she was possibly a druid and was forced to fight. She gave birth to Brex on the battlefield at the same time as the queen was killed. This released an insane amount of magic, which killed a lot of people, including Brex's mom and aunt. BUT it also infused itself in Brex and the placenta, which is what the nectar is. So it is possible that Brex is actually part Druid, which could explain why she can control the dead spirits, create a protective light around her, etc...
I still don't understand why Brex just agrees to work with every person who kidnaps her... Literally every time.
I am interested to see how Hanna and Caden being in their possession comes into play. Who attacked the compound? We're they looking for Hanna and Caden or just out to kill?
We had a whole storyline where the journal was stolen by the Hounds and theinjured hound ended up being Rose's abusive husband. It seems like it could be important in the future.
As always Opie and Bitzy were hilarious.

Title: Dead Lands
Author: Stacey Marie Brown
Series: Savage Lands #3
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
I'm obsessed with this series. Like obsessed. Stacey Marie Brown is definitely one of my favorite authors after I read Savage Lands! I love the fantasy world she's built that has the humans and fae fighting against either for control over the other.
The author wrote two of the best MC's I've ever read: Brexely and Warwick. They are such dominant people and they way they fight and then make up is just so sexy.
I also love all the side characters in this book and the first and second book. I love that Brown also added other fantasy type characters into the story like Brownie, the druid and so many more. It makes this series that much better having all the magical creatures in this story. I love the way the author xontinues to add more twists and turns as Brexely continue on her journey to find out exactly who or what she is.
I love this series and the complexity of each book. I'm only on book three and I've completely fallen in love with everything about these characters, this story and these books. If you haven't read this series, I'm telling you... you need, you must read this series!!

Finally some action between Brexley and Warwicks… and by some, I mean ALOT. I’m not sure we needed to meet her biological uncle, unless he comes back up in the next books. Also, was meeting Rosie’s abusive estranged husband totally necessary? Ash has become my new favourite character, the sassy sidekick who is actually there for more than comic relief!
