The Last Serpent #2
Serpent's Desire
Do you have any idea what it's like to live with five other guys and want all of them? I'm about to find out.
Continuing where the story left off, Lilith finds herself face to face with an awful truth about the new world she has been brought into, but this is a dangerous world, filled with new challenges she doesn't know she'll be able to handle. When Leo, Aiden's mentor, arrives at the mansion and puts the whole place on lockdown so everyone can focus on protecting themselves against the perils lurking just outside of the grounds they all live in, Lilith soon finds the thought of being stuck in a mansion with him unbearable, especially when his feud with Dante comes to light.
Lilith soon learns that sticking it out and waiting inside the mansion for something to happen is not something she wants to do, but leaving the grounds means not only disobeying Leo's command, but also risking certain death. At the same time, there are people who want her killed, and they're out there right now.
With the help of Aiden, Dante, and the other men in her life - men for whom she is rapidly developing feelings for - she will have to figure out who exactly are the players in this game she's in, and why these players are trying to kill her and the people she's with. Not only for her sake, but for the sake of whoever else these groups decide to go after once they get tired of trying to crack the mansion's protective shields and decide to move on.
Serpent's Desire is the second book in a brand new paranormal REVERSE HAREM series by Tansey Morgan. If you love the paranormal romance and urban fantasy genres, and want to read something that not only straddles the line between both, but introduces not one, but five love interests (possibly more), then this is the book for you.
Disclaimer: this book is part of a continuing series of novels, all which will follow the same arc over many books, but each which will tease into the next - expect to be left with questions at the end. As a reverse harem urban fantasy, you can expect there to be action, magic, intrigue, and multiple primary love interests. Sexual content will also form a part of this series, as will swearing and violence. If you're happy with all of this, then...

Just as with the first book, this one was an okey read. Again, I practically flew through the book, though it might have more to do with it's length rather than it's writing. I liked the general plot and where the story is headed, but there were some things I did not agree with.
The second book managed to raise quite a lot of questions, but only gave answers to a few of them. Like, the Keeper forbade Dante from teaching Lilith, even though he's the best man (or in this case - incubus) for the job.
“Why?”
“Because.”
That explains it.
Also, in the previous book we did not get to know the characters all that well, so I hoped to do that here. So, did we learn anything new about the characters in the second book, you wonder? Nope, no we did not.
And, again, that ending. No cliffhanger, no mini conclusion, nothing to even hint at the fact that it's the end. Ugh

1.5 stars will not continue the series. Ridiculously predictable & a waste of my time.

Fascinating
As book two in the series we are starting to get it the meat of the story now. Lillith is trying to figure out her powers and her place in the new group. We get lots of magic, surprises, and more as the story unfolds. If you are looking for a great paranormal reverse harem series you should really try this one. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

Serpent’s Desire by Tansey Morgan is book two in her, The Last Serpent series. Serpent’s Desire picks right up where things left off with book one, Serpent’s Touch. Lilith is at the mansion with several other men and she finally gets to meet this mysterious Leo. Leo, the one who will be her mentor to teach her what she needs to know, is coming. The minute Leo breezes through the door everything changes. All authority seems to go to him as he rattles off commands to the Keeper and the others. The mansion being put on lockdown does not sit well with anyone and Leo’s attitude only serves to push everyone to their limits. An unknown feud between Dante and Leo also surfaces bringing with it questions but no answers. Lilith continues to learn about herself and her abilities, a partial fact that Leo is less than pleased about. When Dante decides that they should leave the mansion to try and find answers Lilith is hesitant at first but she knows they need these answers. She also knows that danger awaits but nothing will change with them not doing anything.
Serpent’s Desire is engaging and keeps you riveted to the story all the way to the last page. I like seeing how Lilith is developing and working with her powers to become stronger. She has the support and encouragement of the men around her, minus Leo of course. I like how we are given some insights on some of her powers as she continues to learn about them herself. She’s getting stronger and developing but that means that she will need to keep up her energy. I also like that we get to see some of the talents of the men as well. I love that they are all working together and that besides Leo, there are no ego trips to worry about at this time.
I will admit that I got slightly annoyed with Lilith when she is with Leo during a certain situation and he tells her to stop talking. Instead of just being silent and not saying anything again and watching and waiting she starts talking again. I got seriously annoyed because I felt that her doing commentary in that moment was so unnecessary. Despite how it annoyed me it felt that it helped make her as a character more real. I have to say that at this point, Leo is my least favorite character. He’s giving me the vibe that something is off with him and that he may be hiding something.
I enjoyed this book very much and am looking forward to the next book in this series. While this book does end on a bit of a cliff hanger it’s not as major of a one as the first book. This cliff hanger is a softer version of where there is a bit of closer because you have some idea of what to expect next time. There are a few minor spelling and editorial errors but nothing major that detracts from the story. I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. This author is doing a great job creating this unique world with such engaging characters. Looking forward to the next time we meet up with Lilith and her men.

Rating 2.5 stars
This book leaves a lot to be desired. First of all the MC Lilith has no clue she is a supernatural. Then she is attacked by vampires and saved by another supernatural who tracks down sups before they possess their powers. She blindly follows this guy to a “school” for sups. She is there for a day and then gets initiated (made to make her powers manifest). She meets 4 boys and some other stuff happens. That is the end of the first book.
Second book is day 2 where she is trained for like 8-10 hours by a sup of different origin. Now she is a complete badass and can go hunt but we as the reader pretty much know nothing of her powers or any of the boys powers or really anything that is going on.
Mystery and intrigue is great in a story line but we still need information. Also this is not a reverse harem in my view. She has 1 guy she has feelings for and another guy she has slept with. There are NO relationships at all. This book has potential but there just needs to be more of everything. More information, more relationship building, more individual character development.

Pretty good
OverAll the story was good. Very short, but good. Not a can of Leo and him killing that dude was way too suspicious, yet I read enough reviews of the end books to know better, so instead that killing is just baffling and makes no sense. I haven't been impressed with anyone yet. They throw themselves into danger with no plan and no idea what they are walking into. It just seems immature and not real bright behavior. The redeeming feature is that overall it's a good story. No grammar issues and I'm interested in seeing where the story goes. Dante is mysterious and I would like to learn more about him. I like Aiden, just wish he had more of a backbone against Leo, who is a tool. The other guys are all just kind of bland and fade into the background. Meaningful conversations are just not something seen between the characters, so we don't get much personality shining through. Again hoping for better in further stories. Since they are so short, it makes them a quick read.

The second book of Tansey Morgan's new series builds nicely on the first book. We share Lilith's discoveries of her new abilities and also learn more about the abilities of the five men she shares a mansion with as they work together to find out why she is in danger. Dante is still a mystery, albeit a delicious and intriguing one, and Aiden is just gorgeous. The other three are coming into focus a little more but hopefully we will learn more in the next instalment as they all take a road trip.
The action was good and Tansey's imagination was very much in evidence, especially once Lilith's new whirlwind of a mentor arrived.
I have only given the book four stars because it was even shorter than the first book. I understand why it finished where it did but I was disappointed because I wanted the book to be longer so I could read more of Lilith and her men.
I received an ARC but have voluntarily decided to write a review and this is my own opinion.

Love this unique series!
Huge fan of the RH genre, and Tansey Morgan knows how to do it right! This is such a great series already - and it's only book two! But the storyline is so intriguing and the characters are wonderful. There are the "good guys"- the Keeper, Liam, Vik, Raphael, Aiden, Dante and Lilith, and the bad guys - vamps, werewolves and the cult, and guys that are probably good, but we love to hate - Leo and maybe Nikolai.
The book is filled with suspense and action, but also with tenderness and acceptance. Lilith is still trying to figure out the whole supernatural thing, all the while running and hiding from those trying to kill her. But at lest she is getting closer with the guys - except Dante, who just keeps rejecting her.
The story itself is getting more and more interesting. I hope the series is a nice long one! Can't wait to read the next book!

This book continues with everything promised in the first book: more magic, more mystery, more secrets, and more action. Lilith's new teacher returns to the school, but is he really the right person to show her how to use her new powers? Leo's presence almost brings more strife than learning into her life. While trying to learn control of her new gifts, Lilith also wants answers to why she's been targeted. The search strengthens her ties to the other students but what they find leaves them with more questions than answers. And leaves me desperately wanting the next book already.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book.

I was very generously gifted and advanced reader copy if this book and voluntarily decided to review it
This exciting story continues in book two, where book one left off. Lilith has learnt more about the supernatural world but still does not know much about her own breed. Her life shifts again with the arrival of Aidens mentor Leo!
Chock full of excitement danger and romance, neither Lilith nor myself know who to trust. The chemistry between Lilith and the boys is fantastic to read and this exhilarating book has me hooked even more, it has left me wanting more and I am extremely looking forward to reading book three, I highly recommend this book and the series it's a fabulous read

I enjoyed this second installment even more! We get some answers to the story line and a bit more background info on a few characters. However, there are still questions that need answers and new questions that have come up. I'm definitely interested to know more about why Dante isn't allowed to do certain things as well as what is Leo's deal? I liked how the MC and friends thought they were getting somewhere with finding out what was going on only to be thwarted in their efforts. It gives me more reasons to keep coming back for the next book! :)
November 16, 2017
I absolutely loved it! Just as good as the first! Morgan does a superb job of reeling in the reader and leaving you wanting more.
The story continues for Lilith and the guys. They have just learned she is a succubus, and it's now time to begin her training. But how can Lilith focus on training when she still doesn't know who wants her dead?
I love the main characters. I love the interactions between them. They are sexy and sweet, fierce and frightening. All around a great second book to the series, and I can't wait for the next one!

When I read the first book in this series I loved it, everything about it...everything that is except the length. It was one of the first RH books I'd read and it was one of the reasons for my addiction to this sub-genre. I just wish the installments were longer. It just feels that each time the story is starting the book is ending.
It's a double-edged sword - a very captivating read, BUT at the price and length of books, possibly too costly for me to continue.!?
So I will leave it at this... If you have the time, money, and love of all things RH then look no further than this series!

Wonderful! Lilith is a delightful mix of naivete and confidence. Her naivete stems from just learning her heritage. He confidence from years of taking care of herself. Leo is simply an arrogant buffoon. He has more knowledge and experience than the other members of the household, but no leadership and educator skills.
I was provided this book as an ARC by the author; however, the review is my honest opinion.

So sexy!
This series is so much fun! I'm 100% sure Lilith and I share the same book of insults, and have equally dirty mouths. Lmao She is such an awesome, strong, and bada$$ character! I adore that the guys aren't all super typical, and are sexy & sweet. Then Dante with his swagger and attitude which I can't NOT adore! So excited to read book 3!
I HIGHLY recommend this series! Great read!

Full of suspense!!!
Serpent's Desire is amazing. I'm really enjoying finding more about Lilith and all the other men in the house. You are peeling layers off of every character and it is so interesting. As the group finds out more about each other and supernatural beings they are starting to see a pattern with women of other house's. You just don't want to put the book down.

This was ok. It moved along nicely and I’m enjoying the mix of supernaturals. The only major flaw is character building. I feel I am only starting to skim the surface of the little group. I even have to keep stopping to remember which guy had which power and was which supernatural being. Things are just a little to vague for my liking. Not sure if I will continue the series yet.
January 22, 2018
Enjoyed
I enjoy that they are finding more information about why she is being hunted. Leo seems to be in some way involved with the back guys by the way he treats her. I would love to find out why Dante is so against them being together, even if it isn’t beneficial energy wise it would still bond them in other ways and if they both want it then why not?

Still not sure about this series
So finished the story but still not sure if I'm enjoying it. The content was better then the first but I think the fact the books are broken into parts is my biggest problem. Just when I feel like I'm getting the story or about to find out something that's vital to the story, it ends. Holding out hope that the next book is more informative.

This book was great but it flew by for me like the first one did.
The character development is building, and I'm enjoying more of the characters than I did in the first book.
I love Dante <3 even though he's a mystery.
Another plus is Lilith is becoming more confident.
Gotta love a strong female character
The only complaint I have is that the books have been too short.

Shorty
These are novella type series. I'm so frustrated with that why can't they be combined or something. I really like the story so far. Dante is being a jerk and Aiden is pretty cool. Each guy has something going on that I like. I just wish the heroine Lilith was a little more demanding.

Another amazing book. Lilith is still getting used to being a succubus and all that it entails. We get to learn more about the men in the mansion and met one of the mentors. I thought it was well written and fun to read. I will be waiting anxiously for book three.
November 16, 2017
Another great book
Thank you can't wait for the next book. I love the how things move along and keep your eyes glued to the book. I Also like how her relations with the guys are forming. Wow mystery, mystery so many ways things can go!!! Thanks

Wow! Things definitely heated up with these guys! I love the dynamic they have started wit the group and how attached she is to them already! The storyline just keeps getting better and better, I can’t wait to see what happens in book three! Another great book!

Well written
I really liked booked 2. It sheds some light on who may be hunting Lilith and why. We get to see her relationship with 2 of her men start to blossom. (I haven't decided if Dante is in her Harem, but I hope so)

Good but not great...
Well written story line, if not a little short. I feel like some of the relationships are being forced and lack chemistry, though. Curious to where it all leads so I will keep on with the series.

Just as good as the first
I appreciate the complexity of the plot, though the short books seem to beg for more from the author’s imagination. Add another 15k and the plots could really come alive.

The plot is intriguing and I like the story, but I feel like there is something lacking here, just like the previous book. It's probably the author's purpose to make them short stories, but this book could have answered more questions than the ones it did answer.
