If the two main characters hadn’t been imprisoned for over 300 pages, this would have probably been a 5 star. 
That being said, the use of their imprisonment to uncover the lore  of the main villain was very well done. It could easily have been depressing and tedious but instead it was suspenseful and compelling. 
I finished this book on my lunch break and found myself at barnes and noble after work, picking up the next one in the series.

A Fire In The Flesh (Flesh and Fire Book 3)
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“You’re brave, strong, and resilient. You don’t need anyone to fight your battles. You never have. You don’t now.” My chest rose and fell rapidly as I listened to him.“But I will fight for you.”

A guttural, inhuman growl shook the cage. “Get your f@!*ing hands off my wife.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t get to you sooner, but I’ve got you now, liessa, and I won’t let go. I’ll never let go again.”

As this is book 3 of the Flesh and Fire series, my review will be short so as to not give any spoilers, but oh my gosh! So many things were happening in this book. I mean there was love, conflict, surprises, twists, and more! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time wondering how this part of the story was going to conclude. Let me tell you, I wasn't mad about it 😉. I feel like this was the perfect conclusion for this section of the story, and I absolutely cannot wait to see where this series goes next!

Also, some of you may feel like this is blasphemous, but Daddy Nyk Nyk and Sera are now sitting at the top of my fictional couples list. I absolutely love these two together! Nyktos continues to be the ultimate man in every way imaginable, and Sera is so strong, resilient, and as I've said before, a true woman warrior. These two together... mmm, chef's kiss 🤌. I just have no words!

P.S. I feel like reading order does matter in this series and the crossover to the Blood and Ash series.

The hardest of the JLA books I've read. A lot of dark themes. Some disturbing content. A lot of significant plot movement for the larger narrative. It's definitely leaving me with strong suspicions for the end of the first series and next book of this one.

I usually enjoy the books in this series because of the cheesy romance but I really struggled to get through this one. This book is about main character, Sera’s, time spent under the captivity of the King of the Primals, Kolis, and it is pretty dark but also very drawn out with a lot of emotional suffering. I read books that are fun and entertaining and 80% of this book made me tense and anxious. I don’t enjoy that kind of reading experience so this has been my least favorite book of the series, but some people might enjoy exploring those other emotions.

a good amount of the book was rough to read because of everything Sera goes through but I found all the emotional processing around the traumatic events very relatable and well written
