aboulle's review against another edition

I really enjoyed book 1 of this series and book 2 definitely added layers but ended on quite the cliffhanger. I don't want to spoil the plot but we see Adrian and Sage grow in their abilities and now they must contend with a counsel of mages.
I loved the expanded story on Salino and how he is connected to Sage and Adrian. This book was action packed with 4 different cases going on all at once but it was never overwhelming.
Overall enjoyable and can't wait for the next book in the series.

This book was so much fun to read. I loved how much story this book had. It was just a lot of fun to follow along and I enjoyed reading it, a lot.
I received an arc of this book, and this is my honest opinion

Damn. I forgot how much I LOVED Sage and Adrian. There are so many layers to Sage and all the "baddies" in this series. I mean who doesn't love an anti-hero? I really enjoyed the brief glimpses we get in the head of the Vampire Salino. There is so much more to him than meets the eye. A lot is changing with Sage's transformation and hierarchy of things in the paranormal world. Adrian is still taking on PI cases, yet he's also got hands in Vampire and Mage politics which isn't exactly a good thing. Being the mate of a man like Sage definitely has its own set of issues too. More than once Adrian has to decide if he's doing something he can live with. He's the light to Sage's dark. They couldn't do the extraordinary things they can now without the other. It's like a checks and balances system. Unfortunately, by the end of book 2 that system is pretty out of whack. Magic always has a price, and I cannot tell whether or not the price paid is going to be worth it in the end.

DNF at 47%.
I was more or less enjoyed the book until one of the mc said that for the spell to work they needed to have a threesome. I then paused the audio, researched in the reviews to see if it would happen, saw that it would then shut that sh*t down!

Adrian and Sage's story continues how it left off in book one, full of intensity, heat and the supernatural. This is a series to be read in order and there is an overall series arc as well as developing relationships.
We left off with Sage and Adrian being requested at the Echelon Imperial council who it turns out are very interested in having these two, now very powerful, mages, on their side. There is also Salino's request that they need to plan for and Adrian still has his PI business with his partner, Xavier, bringing in clients. A lot going on to keep the MC's excessively busy but it all flows really well throughout the story and I don't feel like we miss out anywhere. Both book one and two take place over quite a short time frame, only days really for each, but there's no denying the strength of the bond and love between Adrian and Sage, and then there's what happens between Salino and Sage, the bond between a sire and his child. Relationships become intertwined and complicated, more so towards the end after the huge event that happens that Sage and Adrian help Salino with. It's entertaining to follow and also interesting to see how their opinions and feelings towards each other are changing. There's many layers to all of the characters in this series which I'm really enjoying. The cliff hanger were left with this time is so much worse than book one's with endless possibilities of what is to come and Adrian and Sage left with little choice than to follow orders.
This is such a great series. The two MC's quite literally the light and dark side of mages and balance each other so well in all aspects of their lives. I'm interested to see how book three unfolds and how the plot continues.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.
