Favorite Quotes:

“You act like you’re so fucking above everyone else? Like you’re so much better because you don’t believe a goddamn word that comes out of your father’s mouth. Because you know he’s delusional. But you’re just like them. Just as scared as they are that if you step out of line, you’ll be smited, or damned to hell, or turned into a pillar of salt, or whatever the fuck. You just know there isn’t some mystical force that will punish you for offending its precious messenger. And that’s worse. Because your god is just a man, and because he has something you want, you won’t fight him.”

“The only one here who is a slave is you. My disciple. I am your God. Your supreme one. The only Supreme Force you’re ever allowed to believe in. And I’m a jealous God who will slay anyone who dares vie for your attention.”

“Because rebellion only means anything when there are meaningful consequences for doing it.”

I love her, and my love is obsessive. My love is torment. My love is torture—painful, possessive, jealous, and a myriad of other heinous emotions. Regardless, she’s mine, for now until beyond eternity. Our two souls intertwined as one.

Frankly, very long and pretty distributing. The plot was plotting but there were definitely plot holes. The romance died down into a low simmer of long distance angst and political intrigue. Overall mid.

This book and the first in the duet had me in a chokehold, I think I finished both in three days. I absolutely loved the story line in addition to the spicier scenes. I’m an absolute sucker for tormentors getting their karma and this book gave that and more. There was one specific scene towards the end, that only lasted a couple paragraphs where I had to put it down for a second and then come back to skim through it but that was just semi unexpected even with the warnings at the beginning. Overall, it was absolutely amazing and I was very upset that it ended! (Amazing place to leave off, I’m just a sucker for a good book and author!)

Umm

This series has shown me that I will apparently read just about anything, no matter how terrible it is. I was initially drawn to the relationship between Res and Jaxon, but as I continued reading, I became horrifyingly hooked. However, my honest opinion is to avoid this book unless it aligns with your own taste for circus.

I waited a while for this book to come out and when it did I devoured it. The ending was top tier and to find out the MMC had siblings that were also over his father and his bs was amazing.

This was both moreish when it came to the plot, but also left me wanting more when it came to the main characters of this sequel. Overall I enjoyed it and would happily read more if the author decided to extend this duet into a series.
