Eight of Swords: Part Two

by Azriel Green

Kade is finding himself.Lachlan Tanner remembers the life Kade doesn't, sharing their history written in scars, danger and a love Kade has no memory of earning. The truth should point Kade north. Instead, it sends the compass spinning, with only Lachlan holding steady.

The Tower is still his home.
Iron Star is still his family.
And Riley Harker is still the man Kade trusts above anyone else.

But as the attacks against Iron Star escalate, something hidden in Riley begins to surface.

Kade is discovering that knowing the truth and embracing it are two very different things. With the past closing in, bargains coming due and secrets spilling like blood, one thing becomes fight or hide, you can’t stay lost forever.

Eight of Part Two is the second book in the Eight of Swords trilogy, a dark M/M romance with supernatural and horror elements.

Pre-read: Anybody out there also watching the hours go by until this book is out?! just me? ok 😅

6 ⭐️!!! Book 1 was incredible, and book 2 blew me away. The poetry, the yearning, the mystery of it all, the plot twists, the absolute tragedy and heartbreak and betrayal, and the found family and love love love and soul wrenching stories these characters have. There is no way to describe this universe without somehow giving something away I think. I went into book 1 blind and I was terrified to read book 2 knowing book 3 isn’t out, and at one point during this book I thought “how could this be a trilogy, I feel like it can be wrapped up” WRONG. So much has happened, and by the end you know that so much more has to happen. I need a HEA!! Anyway this series is destroying me in the best way possible. And RILEY my god I need more of him and I need healing for him.

This authors writing is beautiful and so deeply emotional and I can’t wait to read more of her work 👏🏼👏🏼

This was so incredibly good. Every single page was worth it and it STILL landed a perfect ending with a twist that leaves me eager for more. Just like with the first, the characters are compelling and the prose is beautiful and rich. I’ll be thinking about this series and these characters for a long time. I cannot wait for the next one. Do yourself a favor and read this!

I loved this sequel so much! The world we got to know in book 1 was already so rich and this just filled it out in more complex and unexpected ways. It was so gratifying to get answers to some questions lingering from before, but now there is just so much more I want to know about!! Beautiful writing, some really nice formatting decisions, more depth to side characters that I love dearly & electric tension!

I found Part 2 a little more repetitive and dragging plot wise, with more inconsistencies, so I have to admit I was less engaged compared to Part 1. It was still enjoyable, and I particularly liked Riley's story. I hope Part 3 will be stronger.
