For me, this kind of kept building up to me disliking their relationship more and more until I just checked out.
Listen. If Soren literally tells Isolde that she should run because Adrian is going to go nuclear and she goes "omg no he would never hurt me" after 9 HOURS of them fighting because he kept being inconsiderate and/or hurting her "on accident," I am DNF-ing.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but just maybe too much sex?? Hahaha but seriously it’s almost every chapter.
These books with their plot twists! 😯

From the very beginning I was trying to read carefully to watch for any clues on who the traitor was and I did not expect there to be two! I was shocked on who it was, expecting someone else. I had my suspicions, but I just didn't want it to be true because I grew to love them. It speaks volumes on how Isolde must be feeling about their betrayal.
Adrian's abilities come to light andI had no idea how powerful he really was. The way he was able to control the mind of a vampire, but only those he turns. So of course, that's not very useful with the war that is going on! Still, I wished this ability showed up more often than his ability to read minds.
I am just glad the main characters are not a Mary Sue, there's definitely a lot of questionable decisions they made that made me see them in a different light, but as the story progresses it's hard to not feel for them.
Expect to do a lot of gasping because so much goes on in such a short amount of time that it has your head spinning trying to put it all together. People she holds dear to her heart betray her for "the greater good", while people like Killian and Safira are starting to earn her trust. I am stunned on how much character development Killian and Safira have on this book. I can't wait to read how it continues to unfold!
One thing that was a bit difficult to understand was when Isolde re-lived Yesenia's memories because it was not easy to distinguish if Isolde was in the present or past. I had to re-read a couple times to grasp what time period the author was talking about. Maybe if it was italicized or written as a chapter it would have been easier to decipher.
Overall, I can't wait for the third book, Adrian and Isolde went through so much already, I can't wait to continue reading about her journey to conquer despite everything!

I'm a little underwhelmed to say the least.
After finishing the first book in the series I was excited to start the second book to get a more in-depth look at some of the characters but it felt like it was a bit lackluster. There wasn't much plot or character building in this book, granted there were a lot of things that happened throughout the book. It almost felt as though there were too many issues instead of the characters having to focus on one or two; as a reader there wasn't a main focal point as it almost felt chaotic.
To be fair, there were a lot of twists and turns that you would have or not have picked up hints on throughout the book. There's also a good amount of spice that was included, which I think we're all here for 😉

I didnt feel like any of the characters had ANY chemistry with each other. Adrian and Isolde’s relationship felt so toxic, I almost DNFed at 35%. Nothing happens in this book; its all set up for the next one. I will be stopping the series here.
