Trials of a Morta #2

To Crave Madly

Rate this book
More lies, more deceit, and more drama. What I wouldn’t give for a quiet day in Hell.

So, it turns out that Orion isn’t who he says he is and now I’m not just bonded to a high-class demon, I’m bonded to the Devil. Yes, you read that right. The Devil.

Not only that, my latest fashion accessory is a GPS tracker that tells my team exactly where I am at all times, my inner demon wants to take over my body and someone is stealing the witches.

Oh, and my magic is on the fritz. Throw in the fact that I seem to have more than one man interested in me and I think it’s safe to say my life is rapidly descending into a hot mess.

But with a new, scary as Hell bodyguard protecting me, I’m hoping that I can survive long enough to actually find out what’s happening to the witches, become one with my demon, and finally decide what the Hell is happening with my love life.

Keeping my fingers crossed will work. Right?


This is a kickass paranormal fantasy with a why choose romance. Vampires, demons, shifters and witches all make an appearance and this book is perfect for those who like fated mates, forbidden romance, enemies to lovers or friends to lovers. Recommended for 18+ due to steamy scenes and characters who like to swear from time to time.

WOW!! What a second book this one was!! It picks up immediately where we left off in book 1, and there is no slowing down in this book.

Lori, a newly found mage and demon hybrid, is having a hard time dealing with everything that has happened to her since she was kidnapped. Not only is she one of the rarest demons to be found but now with finding out about her mage side a new rarity and complication arise. As the story progresses her powers become more evolved, her bonds multiply, and control seems to be just out of her grasp.

Bailey Grayson has taken us further into the dark side in 'To Crave Madly' and given Lori more men to bring into her heart and some even make it to her soul. We get to know more about Lucifer, Jackson, Fenris, and even Cassian as the story unfolds and more of their backstories are brought to the forefront. We also ger a smattering of new characters which include Tolsten, a shadow fiend, that Lucifer has sent to protect Lori with his life. Things really heat up in this book and there is never a dull moment-quite the contrary.

This is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend to all lovers of PNR, RH. It's chock-full of mages, demons, vampires, shifters, and the devil himself. If you haven't gotten around to reading book 1 DO IT! you are definitely missing out!

Lori is learning more of who and what she is, but first, she needs to get out of Hell and away from Lucifer. Literally. After being tricked into a soulbond and spirited off to Hell, Lori is realizing she's more out of her depth than she bargained for.

To Crave Madly gives readers more insight into Lori and her team, and a glimpse of what they are up against. Bailey Grayson's sequel is pulls readers further into the world she's created. There are so many questions, so much tension, and with each turn of the page a new revelation that just staggers you more. With another cliff-hanging ending, book three can't get here fast enough fill the cravings this story leaves behind!

With discovering Orion's true identity, Lori's life became only more complicated. Back with the assassins, though, she is learning more about herself, her magic, her demon side, but also discovering the serious issue of mages and witches going missing. Moreover, all points to the puppeteer being a celestial creature.. Lori can't simply get a break from the intense situation.
It was a fast-paced, action-packed continuation of the story full of conflicting emotions and a tangled mess of relationships. Lori is a very human-like character, making lots of mistakes and thinking more with her heart than her brain, but it makes her admirable - and entertaining, with all the trouble she can cause. The crazy relationship she has with Cassian is one of the highlights of this book. There were some really hot scenes included (though, I am seriously getting eye rolls lately with all the bedroom scenes in any book I read - having the heroine beg for release or even for sex just to stroke some alpha ego is really getting on my nerves. Especially when it's really in every single book that I read which has this kind of scenes included, and I read a lot), but also romance, sometimes in a very surprising form that I much appreciated. Looking forward to the next book - I'd love to see Iveri play now.

Ahhh cliff please!

This book was absolutely amazing, I looooooove the FMC and Lucifer in particular because he is so accepting of her and her other relationships (but still possessive) and always has her and her safety in mind!

The introduction of a new character had me all kinds of messed up, Lucifer was my favourite but, not anymore! I just love Lori’s new guard so much.!

The plot in this book is interesting with various realms and some hidden information that we clearly need to know right now!

Taken a twist further to the dark side

Lori, newly found mage and demon hybrid, is having a hard time dealing with everything that has happened to her since she was kidnapped. As the story progresses her powers evolve, bonds multiply, and getting a handle on things seems to always be just out of her grasp. Bailey Grayson has taken a twist further to the dark side in To Crave Madly and given Lori more men to bring into her heart and some even into her soul. The slow unveiling of everything is keeping me on edge and anticipating one explosive climax to the overall story.

I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

Lori is taken away from the guys by Lucifer. She tries to fight her feelings towards him. She learns he didn't kill Alec, that he is alive. She also learns he is not behind what happened with Fenris. Lori is sent back with a guard from Lucifer. Lori and the others try to figure out just is happening. Lori is danger due to several things but also due to herself. Lori will have to learn how to deal with her demon and more

There is so much more that happens, but don't want to spoil it. There are so many things that happen in this book. Lori will do some things that will betray another, not listening to others about her saftey. The way this book ended had me screaming, looking forward to the next one.

Oh what a book this was! It's on the dark side and it's growing on me too! I generally like books lighter but this one is just so good. You get a story that is very entertaining and keeps you on your toes. It has twists and turns and Lori her harem is growing. I can't wait to see what the end will be. Will all be in her heart and in her soul? I can't wait to see how Bailey will unravel it all. It's so unpredictable I really haven't got a clue yet.

OMG! I think I almost broke my phone gripping it so hard while I read this story. It picks right after book 1 and throws us back into the action with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Lori is learning more about herself as well as her demon while building her relationships with her men. The development of the characters and the world building are amazing! This is such a fast paced read that keeps you on the edge of your seat! Fabulous! I cannot wait to see what is next in this series! 💜🖤

I did not see any of that coming. And the ending made me want to scream! That next book is needed to find out what’ll happen next with that ending. I wasn’t expecting any of the twists in the story and they were intense. I enjoyed the story a lot and am looking forward to the next book. Lori finds out a lot more about herself and her demon side. The two are an interesting mix and yet also so different. I’m curious to see what’ll become of this as the story progresses. I might want to scream at the demon side though with the ending.

I’m not usually one for dark love stories but this one was awesome! Lori is a total badass as she starts to meet more of her harem. I’m not sure how I feel about most of them yet, but damn they sound hot! There was plenty of steam, action, and mystery! I can’t wait to see what happens next after that killer cliffhanger.

I was given an ARC, so I am writing my honest voluntary review.

Wow! I absolutely loved book 2 of this series! Bailey really had me gripping the edge if my chair while reading this!

We start right off where book 1 left us and Lori really discovers a lot more about herself as well as her demon. It was definitely fast paced but there is still plenty of steam and sone jaw dropping scenes. Lori also builds her group of men with her powers growing. I absolutely love that we get to see more of Rae and get some more character introductions!

I am dying to see what is going to happen next in this series because nothing seems to go the way I think and I absolutely love it! If you haven't grabbed book 1 of this series you should add this to your read pile!

Excuse me, but what the Hell just happened? Wow, that was the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers! The whole book was excitement from start to finish, and just when you think you know where the story is going it changes direction and totally throws you off. I loved this SO much! The writing style is amazing, I love all the main characters , the author has done an amazing job with both the world building and character building and the plot is second to none. I nearly cried as I read the last words and I just need the next book right now! Where is this leading?

Just when I thought that this author couldn't possibly out do herself she goes and writes this book! We find ourselves right where we left off at the end of book one and off on a wild ride we go. And I definitely didn't see that ending coming! I need the next one, ASAP!!

This is the second book in the series and it takes off right where book one left us. This book was a fantastic read. Lots of action, wonder, intrigue and heat. The plot has us guessing and anticipating what will happen next. The characters are full of life and there's a great balance to the light and dark. I was hooked from the first page and I flew through this book. It's a fun, exciting and intriguing read. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Not bad. This book just got more intriguing!
The characters are solid and the story is very much an attentuon grabber. No boring parts here!
For the second installment, it does a good job of continuing the story. I do feel it runs a bit slow wuth the buildup, but not too much. Twists are always good( even if you see them coming).
Pretty excited for the next one. I really want to know what happens next.

Wowzers, Lori certainly doesn't have a dull moment! Certainly kept me on the edge of my seat. Lots of paranormal creatures (vampires, demons, shifters and witches) interacting throughout this intriguing story with lots of twists & turns, suspense, romance, action, angst, and drama. Book 2 of the Trails of A Morta ends with a cliffhanger. Do read Book 1 first as its the beginning of this awesome tale.

I love this book! The story is amazing. Can't get enough of this series. Get ready to read a steamy read with a side of pain, betrayal, love, and friendship. Can't wait to see what happens in book 3! The only reason I drop a star was that I felt like Lori is I don't want to say playing with the other guys feelings but I don't know it might have been just me. But other than that I really enjoyed this book!!!!!!!

To Crave Madly begins right where book 1 ended and it was one intense moment after another! Lori not only begins to discover more about herself and her demon side, but there are more interactions between her and her men including some new ones. I am so excited to see what is next for these characters!

Lori has been deceived by Orion, saddled with a GPS tracker, she is fighting her inner demon for control, and witches are being taken. But the good news, she is surrounded by hotter that hell men!

This is such an amazing story! I love Lori, and all her smexy men! I loved the relationship and plot developments. The storyline is just downright fan freaking tastic! Warning, it does end in a cliffy, but the story is so worth it! I definitely consider this a Must Read series and highly recommend it! I will be excitedly awaiting book three!

Wow, I have been excitedly waiting for the 2nd book in this series and it did not disappoint. It is steamy, twisted, and full of action! I love the growth we see in Lori as she accepts her demon and learns about her magic. Each of the characters are developed more in this book. I loved learning more about them, even if I didn't always love what I learned, haha. Excellent job....and that ending.....ugh Book 3 needs to be here stat!

Lots of plot development and character deepening. Plot twist at the end was unexpected. Steamy and relationships with her men develop a lot more. Enter angels as well which adds a new element to the demons, vamps and mages revealed in book one. Ends on a cliffhanger.

OMG....this book is epic! There is so much going on and as soon as I started I was completely engrossed and invested in Lori. But wow...the twists and turns in this book at me spinning. I loved the connection with Lucifer and Jasper. Alec still annoyed me but he had his vulnerable side, Cassian is such an enigma, Torsten my favourite in this book and then there is Fenris I just want to slap! I admit I had all the feelings while flicking through the pages as quickly as I could. And holy bloody cliffhanger what an ending. How can we wait for book three! This author has really written a unique and captivating series that I cannot edit to read more. Bring on book three.
