An even spicier, kinkier read than the first. This one follows Juniper and Zane, another human/demon pairing within the same timeline as the first book. 

But it wasn't all spice and kink! There's revenge, murder, a burgeoning love story (that I believed a bit more than Rae and Leon's), a LOT of trauma, and a death cult to an eldritch god....

It's a somehow spicy yet traumatic read if you like dark romance, but be sure to read the triggers!

Very dark. Not my type of spice and it's just the first story told from another point of view.
Which makes sense as it's book two, but I found i did not care about the characters as much as I enjoyed book one. 
It also was less story line and more repetition. 
Overall, meh. I'll probably read book three and then go back to my usual space thrillers.
