Mended Souls : Hades Duet Book 2
Blaize
I fucked up, and hurt her in the process.
Her past blindsided me, slamming into me like a semi-truck and casting me as the villain.
All because I was too busy running from my feelings to admit the truth: I'm in love with the woman who collided with my life and set my world aflame.
If loving her makes me weak, then I’ll gladly let her bring me to my knees.
Now, the ghosts I buried are back with a vicious fury, determined to take everything I love--including her.
For Kadence, I’d burn the world before I'd let any harm touch her,
Because in my world, loving her doesn’t just risk losing her…it makes her the only thing worth dying for.
I fractured us, and I will spend my last breath mending us back together.
Kadence
I came here to disappear.
To heal. To bury the girl I once was, but the past can never stay buried.
I thought surviving was hard enough, but healing, choosing to live, was much harder
A war was starting, one I didn't understand and couldn’t win.
Blaize did more than steal my heart--she obliterated it.
I told myself I’d never trust her again, that the fracture ran too deep...but then she got on her knees and begged to mend what we once had, to love fully.
And in her world, loving someone was dangerous.
Now, we are both in for the battle of our lives, and even our love for each other can’t keep us safe.
Her past is violent, but so is mine. And this time, it’ll come for everything we have and hold dear to our hearts.
So we unite, because I refuse to let her world take her from me without a fight.
She fractured us, but she won't stop until we are mended together again.

📖 AT A GLANCE
STARS 5 stars
SPICE EXTREMELY SPICY
CHEMISTRY VERY HOT
ANGST VERY HIGH
SLOW BURN NO
CLIFFHANGER NO
CHARACTERS BLAIZE & KADENCE
💬 LINES THAT LIVE RENT-FREE
“I can handle knives, bullets, and even torture,” I let out a wry laugh, “but the look in her eyes? It replays in my mind a thousand times a day. I did that. I became the thing that caused her to…spiral.” - Blaize
🖤 MY READING EXPERIENCE
This has to be one of the darkest books I've ever read. Is it perfect? No. Was I completely obsessed anyway? Absolutely YES!
This story is completely unhinged in the best way. It made me cringe, gasp, and wonder what on earth I had gotten myself into but I couldn't stop reading. Every time I thought things couldn't get any crazier, they somehow did.
C.L. has such a twisted imagination, and I am here for every second of it. If she writes it, I'm reading it..
💭 CHARACTER THOUGHTS
BLAIZE Watching Blaize unravel was THE BEST. She's the dominant, in-control ice queen, but one mistake changes everything. She knows love is her greatest weakness, yet she can't walk away from Kadence. Seeing her brought to her knees (literally and figuratively) was everything.
KADENCE I loved seeing how much she's grown. After everything she went through in the first book, she takes another devastating hit here. Instead of giving up, she refuses to let it define her. I loved watching her fight her way back.
⚠️ ONE SMALL NOTE
This is an extremely dark romance. Please check the trigger warnings before reading if you have any concerns.

I was really rooting for myself to enjoy this second part of the duet. I still like the characters, but the repetition just got to me. Because of this, the story progressed slowly, and it felt like we were trudging through mud to keep moving. Kadence surprised me by forgiving Blaize so easily. Saving her life and *releases* were all she needed to get over things. They didn't even spend that much time together to reconcile until the second half of the story because Blaize was too focused on chasing empty leads.
I did enjoy Blaize and Hunter sharing Kadence. And I still love all the bisexual characters sprinkled throughout the side characters.
Though this wasn't quite what I hoped it would be, I appreciate the sapphic and bisexual representation.

Since reading the first book I can say this one also deserves 5 stars. There wasn’t nearly as much repetitive speaking as the first book. I enjoyed seeing the relationship actually grow between the two fmc. I was under the impression between the first & second book that hunter would join the couple possibly becoming a poly couple or just hunter and blaize sharing Kadence in a relationship. I just felt that hunter and Kadence had a strong bond and their chemistry was definitely there. I’m looking forward to hunters story, but I’d still like to see where her relationship with Kadence could have gone.

Absolutely loved this book. Blaize, Kadence, Hunter, Annika, Hawke, The bikers, the boys! They all have their own stories m, traumas and past which has bought them together. It is dark, lots of triggers, but ends beautifully. Spicy, sapphic, 10/10!

the first 30% of this book had 5 star material but then the rest of it is like filler and sex until about 88% and then we have a really rushed ending 😔

⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just like the first book very repetitive language and typos throughout. Not a bad story, but definitely could’ve been shorter…or even just one book.

4.5 for the full duet but only because it was a tiny bit repetitive in parts 🩷

Interesting.
This was definitely a different story! Touches on depression, suicide, murder and all kinds of kinks. I enjoyed it. It was gripping and cringey at the same time, but also had some good spicy scenes.
I will definitely be reading Hunter's story. It sounds intense!
