Bitten #2
Devoured
Not yet published
Expected 6 Oct 26The breathtaking finale to the instant New York Times bestseller, Bitten!
Welcome back to the Wolf Queen’s Court.
Vanessa Hart is done being a victim. After the brutal winter massacre stole everything from her, she vows vengeance against her enemies once and for all—even if that means killing the boy she once loved...
Vanessa bides her time playing the role of a docile subject. But beneath her mask, she sharpens her powers, embracing the werewolf within while weaving a complicated web of lies, betrayals, and alliances to topple the throne.
Unfortunately, vengeance isn’t easy, and nothing in the Wolf Queen’s Court is ever as it seems. As the darkness of the castle bleeds into human society, it’s clear no one is safe. Cora’s vicious reign grows stronger by the day, Sinclair continues hiding deadly secrets, and Calix—the boy Vanessa might loathe most of all—is threatening her every plan.
With nowhere to run and no place to hide, Vanessa sheds the last of her humanity to play this lethal game of werewolves. And if she doesn’t win, the consequences will destroy her life—and the entire world as she knows it—forever.

ARC REVIEW:
As always a very grateful thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in advance
This book was a whirlwind of emotions. Bitten had me in a chokehold when I first read it earlier this year and Devoured was no different. Watching Vanessa overcome all of the challenges and move through her grief while continuing to be an absolute bad ass was astonishing. There were so many twists and turns in this book I found myself at the edge of my seat the entire time not knowing what to expect (I also found myself wanting to send my kindle flying across the rooms at some parts too)
The ending of this story absolutely destroyed me. I had a feeling there would be more loss in this story but I was far from prepared when it happened. Even through the heartbreak I cannot recommend this book enough. Jordan’s story telling truly captivates you and makes it impossible to put the book down. Thank you for creating sharing these stories and for allowing me to read them!

Thank you to Little, Brown Books for Young Readers for the NetGalley eARC!
I devoured this book — pun intended. I felt every emotion while reading this. Vanessa’s journey through her trauma, grief, and eventual self-discovery was deeply relatable. I’m always here for a revenge arc in a fantasy book, but I think watching Vanessa survive and learn to live despite it all was the most compelling piece of this book. It was truly such a beautiful sequel, and I love how all the characters’ stories wrapped up.
I needed more pages of the epilogue. It was so wonderful, and I am glad the letter was included at the end. I shed so many tears and honestly had an existential crisis because Vanessa and Calix managed to tackle questions every person asks in life, yet most of us take decades to find an answer.
Thanks for breaking my heart, Jordan.

Wow, the end of this book left me shook. It was gut-wrenching in the best way possible. Jordan Stephanie Gray blessed us with so many twists and turns that I did not see coming. I finished this book two days ago, and I still have not stopped thinking about it. Vanessa's relationship development with Evie and Portia was one of my favorite parts. There is real depth and character growth for several of the characters, and I loved the multiple POVs. There were so many satisfying surprises at the end—a wonderful sequel. I highly recommend it for fans of Richelle Mead, Shelby Mahurin, and Holly Black. Thank you so, so much for the review copy.

I loved Bitten, so I was incredibly excited to dive into Devoured. Going into it, I knew this was a duology, but I couldn't help hoping it might somehow become a trilogy because I wasn't ready for the story to end.
The characters have so much to overcome in this installment, and they each carry an incredible amount of trauma. I really appreciated the additional POVs, as they added more depth to the story and helped me connect with the characters on a deeper level.
I would have loved to spend more time with these characters and see some of those threads developed in greater detail. Even so, Devoured was a satisfying conclusion, and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to read it early.

Alexa, play Tears by Charli xcx
I was right to fear the ending before reading the first page. I knew tragedy was coming on many levels, however, I wasn't expecting the last page to actually kill me.
We see lots of growth throughout the story from multiple characters. My girl Vanessa faced so much grief, her need for revenge consumed her in ways I worried for her final outcome. I'm glad she won peace even though it came at a high cost. My favorite bond ended up being the friendship between Portia, Evie and Vanessa. We need more strong female friendships in books!

Thank you thank you thank you to Netgalley, Little Brown, and Jordan for this eARC of Devoured!!!
Listen I’ve been with Jordan since before the release of Bitten. I was a beta reader. I fell in love with this world before the general population knew of them. And now it’s completed and I’m emotional about it because what do you mean that’s how it ended? (Meant in a positive way bc I did not want to say goodbye.) What do you mean Jordan ripped my heart out and stomped on it? Many times over?
If we thought book one had feminine rage, book two has feminine FURY babes. We are catapulted right back into where book one left off and it’s just go go go from there. It’s fast paced, well thought out, and such an incredible finale to this duology.
I can’t wait for the release so everyone can see how this trio’s story concludes.
