The Reluctant Demon by Mae Pierce
4.0
Mae Pierce does it again! The Power of Blood Duet was one of my favorite reads of last year, so to say I was excited for this book would be an understatement!
In “The Reluctant Demon” we pick up immediately where we left off, with Cove and Krex being introduced to one another. One the bond is recognized, Cove and Krex are thrust into an inter-world (inter-species?) relationship. Their love story is not easy, and there are multiple hurdles that they have to work through. Communication is the biggest struggle they face between themselves, and it was so refreshing to read of main characters who acknowledge their shortcomings and make real efforts to better communicate.
Relationship aside, it was fun being back in Melbak for a bit! Seeing bits and pieces of the previous characters is always a delight, and I enjoyed learning more about what they’ve been up to.
“The Reluctant Demon” is a great story for those who enjoy the world that has been set up in the previous duet. I would highly recommend starting there so that you can truly learn about how strong Cove is, as well as better appreciate how she makes Krex work to win her back.
