Not a cockroach cursed spirit, wtf man ๐คข
Yuta is that dude. The action in this volume was top notch. I just wish we would start reuniting to fight against Kenjaku. These volumes are feeling more like filler if anything since the people our mains are fighting arenโt crucial to the overall storyline. And the whole hunger games plot is kinda strange. But it is still enjoyable regardless and Iโm going to keep reading. ๐

4.5/5โญ
This sequel was just as good as the first book. Even better in many ways. The fight scenes were phenomenal and made me want to rewatch Vikings for the 207th time. The slow burn between Elise and Legion was EVERYTHING, I LOVE a good, real slow burn romance, and this was it. The spice? There was spice guys! Did anybody know it got spicy? Because I did not and I was shocked and clutching my pearls. ๐
Elise grew so much more in this book, I hate everything she keeps having to go through, but she is handling it all with such grace, and a tad bit of anger. (To be expected honestly.) Legion made me want to slap him a few times, which made me begrudgingly like him even more. Jk, I am in love with this man. ๐๐ฅต
The story was a tad bit slow at parts, but once it picked up, I did not want to put it down. I am obsessed with LJ Andrews writing and I am so excited to see where the rest of this series goes.

5/5โญ easy. And the narrators? *chefs kiss*
Was this anything like B&B? no, well maybe a teeny tiny little bit. But these are different people, a different situation, it was bound to be different. And I loved it.
Lark is my spirit person, she is so peppy, and adorable, and crafty, and a tad bit demented. I love her, she is perfect in every way, period.
Lachlan is grumpy, and broody, and a bit of a pessimist, but he is the perfect book boyfriend. And nothing will ever change my mind.
Lark and Lachlan together? AHHHHHHHH โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ EXPLOSIVE. Their chemistry is beyond amazing. The progression of their relationship was perfectly paced and was outstanding. I love them together so freaking much.
This one is not that spicy, it didn't get spicy until 70% of the way through, but that's okay, it didn't need it. Their banter was more than enough for me. I need so much more of them, they are my favorite couple at the moment. ๐

Cade and Willa's story? o m g. I expected to like it a lot, I did not expect to love it and not want to put it down at all. Willa is adventurous, impulsive, loyal, and has a gigantic heart and I love her, so much. Cade is broody, grumpy, but he also has a big heart, he is just more scared to let down his walls to show it. I loved the story progression of these two getting to know each other and the events leading up to the scene that changes everything. ๐คญiykyk. And that ending? omg I love that for them. I'm picking up Powerless asap so I can continue this series. And if you haven't started this series yet but love romantic, cowboy, small town stories, this is is bestie. This series will be the first one I recommend for cowboy romances. Period.

This is one of those books where you go in because the cover or title or both intrigued you and you stay for the vibes.
It was good, especially the audiobook? Both Teddy and Stella were AMAZING as per usual. ๐ The vibes were immaculate. I am all in with anything that has vampires in it. And the plot was intriguing enough. I just found the whole virginity and magical repercussions part of the story to be a little โฆ strange. But besides that, it was a fun story. Iโll definitely be continuing the series in hopes that Julian and his little pet may finally better their communication skills. ๐โค๏ธ
