I’m so grateful I had the chance to ARC read this entire trilogy because what a wild, unforgettable ride it has been. This finale delivered everything I could have wanted l, action, shocking twists, betrayals, secrets, and enough spice to curl your toes. Lilah, Nyx, Ryker, and Sadi face their greatest threats yet as they fight to break the Queen of the Dark World’s curse, while every victory seems to unleash another devastating twist. The stakes never let up, keeping me completely hooked until the final page. Saying goodbye to these characters is bittersweet, but this was a powerful, action-packed ending to an incredible trilogy, and I absolutely cannot wait to see what this author brings next.

This series has been an absolute thrill to read! The trials and tribulations that Lilah, Nyx and Ryker have been through are exhausting- they never seemed to get a break.
This third instalment was no exception either. Completely full of battles, heartbreak, betrayal and love with twists and turns you did not see coming.

I really enjoyed how Lilah went back in time to the ‘before’ Nyx. That part of the story pulled at my heart strings A LOT - it was very emotional and I can now understand why he was so drawn to her and always watching out for her. The same with Ryker, he was always there and the three of them complimented each other to become the complete package.
And of course a big shout out needs to go to Sadi. What an awesome BFF!

The ending was so damn tense! I mean, I seriously worried that the ritual wouldn’t work. I’m so glad that Darkness and Nim also got their HEA, they so deserved it.

I’m quite sad that this series has come to an end but it’s one that I will read again and again 🩶

I received an ARC from BookSirens and here is my honest review

I’m so glad I had the chance to ARC read this entire trilogy because what an incredible journey it has been. The final book wrapped up the story beautifully and gave this series the ending it deserved.

From beginning to end, this trilogy delivered action, shocking twists, betrayals, secrets, and plenty of spice...curl-your-toes spice. In this final installment, Lilah continues the fight alongside Nyx, Ryker, and Sadi as they race to break the Queen of the Dark World's curse while battling the growing threats in their own kingdom. Every time they seem to gain the upper hand, another twist changes everything, keeping the stakes high until the very end.

Will they be able to save the kingdoms and finally bring peace between mortals and vampires? You'll have to read to find out.

I'm sad to say goodbye to these characters, but I absolutely loved the journey. This was a satisfying, action-packed conclusion to a fantastic trilogy, and I can't wait to see what this author writes next.

This conclusion had me on the edge the entire time. I kept asking myself were they ever going to have something go right for them? Just as something good started it was violently ripped away.
I absolutely enjoyed seeing past Nyx, and understand now why he was so intrigued with Lilah when she young. Always keeping an eye out for her as she grew up.
I felt so much anger and disgust toward King Dravian and Queen Margarethe that I wished I could reach into the book and destroy them for Nyx and Lilah. And don't even get me started on Alerice!
Shadow and Nim, I am happy but also so very sad too. I enjoyed this entire series and definitely recommend. There are a bunch of triggers so beware!

I was given a free copy to read and willingly leave this review.

I have waited so long to read this book, She had me hooked from the beginning, I absolutely love these characters Lilah, Sadie, Nyx, and Ryker they each have such a personality, but together they have made a kinda family and watching it grow through all the trials and tribulations, things that would have torn even the strongest apart, yet they are strong together. The love they share between one another and the protectiveness, ugh I just love it!!!!! This book was just what I thought it would be absolutely amazing! I love her writing, I love her details, the fact that you can read and almost smell the blood from the people being tortured and killed, it just has so much depth to her writing, and I cannot wait to contine to read her writing.

This is the finale in a trilogy. It wraps the story up well while staying engaging from page one. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Lilah goes through a lot of tribulations and has to discover a lot about herself to truly become who she's meant to be. I love a strong fmc and she fits that bill. Ryker is thrown into a world he's been taught to fight against that he now has to work with and handles it beautifully. Nyx is trying to save the ones he loves while also trying to figure out how to save his kingdom from his father, the king. Not to mention the strange love triangle between them! There's a lot going on and the author weaves it all together so that none of it is confusing. If you like fantasy and spice, this series is for you.

I really enjoyed seeing Lilah’s journey come to an end. She’s been through so much, and watching her finally embrace the person she was meant to become made this book even more satisfying. I loved getting more of Nyx and Ryker, and seeing how much they would sacrifice for the people they love. The twists kept catching me off guard, and there were a few moments that genuinely had me wondering how everything would work out. Sadi was also one of my favorite characters, and I loved how loyal she was from start to finish. This was such an emotional and action-packed ending, and I’m definitely going to miss this world and these characters.

Thank you so much Kay and BookSirens for letting me be a part of the team.❤️🌺

ARC

Just as with book 1 and 2, this has sooo many hurdles, with twists and turns and  so many roadblocks.

The FMC is a badass and not to be messed with, she finishes the trials and continues to fight and do what she believes is right for all, jumping portals, running from monsters in the magical forests

She has her 2 MMCs Nyx and Ryker who are complete opposites of each other but are both equally obsessed with her and help her be the Queen she's meant to be

This book is the ending we needed

[Kirsten · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fantastic ending to Lilah’s story and so very satisfying. Although the sheer hell that all the characters go through throughout this book makes everything they went through worth it. I’m not sure if it was the secondary characters, the world building or the story itself but this was my favorite book in the series. The dual narrative adds a lot to the story because you aren’t just held to the main characters feeling and sense of what is happening. Thank you to Kay Marie for the chance to experience this world you created.

[Miranda Wallace · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was a perfect way to wrap up the trilogy. I read this as an ARC and was not disappointed. There were things that shocked me that I didn't see coming. Its not often I wouldn't change anything about a book, but this wrapped everything up so well. Highly recommend!

[Jerrica · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was so good. It answered all the questions I had from the ending of book two. I absolutely love the characters and all the progress they had in the book!!!

[Angela Green · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finally finish this series and it was so good read them back to back sad this is the last book but the ending was perfect

[Amber Hess · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an amazing conclusion to this trilogy. This was the third and final book in Lilah, Nyx, Ryker, and Sadi’s story and it did NOT miss the mark. Court of Blood and Vengeance had deadly trials, dark magic, portal travel, 🔥🔥, found family, why choose, touch her and die, and dueling kingdoms. Kay Marrie hit all the tropes.

Together, Lilah, Nyx, Ryker, and Sadi must figure out how to dethrone 3 rulers and obtain the power that is Lilah’s birthright. If you want to find out how or if they are able to do this then don’t wait on this book and series. I love their dynamic. So so good. Great conclusion to a captivating series.

3.5 some parts I enjoyed. Some parts I didn’t care for. I liked how the story ends!

I enjoyed the why choose part of it.
I’m still a big fan of Nyx till the every end!

[Rhiannon Blankenship · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an epic end to an epic sequel. This series makes you feel all the up's, downs, and horrors these characters go through in a very well written manner that leaves you not wanting it to end. Highly recommend this series to all the vampire lovers and romantasy readers out there!!!
