Glow of the Everflame was everything I want in a book! ✨❤️‍🔥The romance, the fantasy, cozy at times yet often tense and unpredictable. The emotions and feelings I felt when reading were everythinf I hoped for and the plot was spectacular. 

We're back in the second book of The Kindred's Curse series with Diem our feisty FMC and Luther our brooding MMC. There is a fantastic slow burn romance between these two and I'm here for it. I was afraid the relationship between Luther and Diem was not going to flourish enough before we'd get to a spicy scene after the somewhat intimate scene in Spark of the Everflame but Penn Cole put that worry to rest in Glow of the Everflame.

This book made me feel all of the emotions from elated to sadness to terror and betrayal. What I love about Diem is also what I dislike about her but in the best way. She is my firey girl but oh.my.goodness. does she frustrate me sometimes! She has her life clearly laid in front of her and stubbornly chooses the opposite all the time! 

The plot was amazing, the story of her trying to navigate her own realm and houses in Lumnos then add in the juggling of the relationships with all of these realms. The world building is incredible and I hope to see more of Emarion. Her interactions and the growth of her relationships with her new inner circle give the reader a cozy homey sort of feel. Taran gives the dry humor, sibling, witty banter and Eleanor is the best wing girl ever! I need a Taran and Eleanor in my life! 🧡 

Do yourself a favor and go get this book in your hands now!
