Wrath & Rain #2

Sinful Demon King

Rate this book
The Demon King crossed over to our world looking for something. What he found was me.

Apparently I possess part of the Demon King’s lost power and now he wants it back. He’s willing to do anything for it...including seducing me. The entire world wants a piece of Wrath and I’m the one who gets him every night in my bed.

I shouldn’t want him as badly as I do but being around him is...consuming.

And I think he feels it too. As much as the Demon King wants to pretend it’s only about power, I’ve seen the way he looks at me. When we’re in the same room together, every glance is sharp enough to cut, every touch hot enough to burn.

But when a secret from my past is revealed, it throws everything into question once again. Now Wrath is looking at me like I’m the enemy, and the Demon King will destroy everything in his path in order to get what he wants.

If he wants a fight, he’s going to get one. Because this stolen power I possess? Now I know how to use it.

Note: Sinful Demon King is the second book in a villain enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance trilogy. You can expect lots of tension, action, twists and hate kissing, and a villain you love to love. Sinful Demon King will end on a cliffhanger.

A hero would sacrifice you to save the world, but a villain would sacrifice the world to save you.😉

Just finished Sinful Demon King and it was excellent!!!! This is book 2 in The A Villain paranormal romance and it's so fucking HOT!!!🔥 Wrath isn't the fairytale boyfriend that you dreamed of,he's A total asshole who excel's at being a villain and Rain finds it hard to find anything redeeming in him. Their interactions are a constant push and pull because of this and try as she might to hate him what she feels when he touches her or is inside her is like napalm, soul shattering and if she isn't careful he will be her downfall. The chemistry between these two is kindle melting and it started with a bang ( no pun intended) right out of the gate! I knew just a few pages in this was gonna be another hot and steamy read and it didn't disappoint! Their were twists and some questions answered from book one and we even found alittle more about wrath but if your hoping for a happy ending at the end and wrath suddenly seeing the light and confessing his love.... Its not happening! He's not some half ass villian he's A true nightmare! Even though their's A couple of times through the book that he lets his guard down and show's some emotion its usually followed by his dark side and let me tell you he definitely has one. Which begs the question, what has been done to him in the past to made him like this I need to know! I can't say enough about Nikki St. Crowes storytelling! She has me so hooked on this series! What is it about villains and anti hero's that's so sexy and fascinating, to me its watching them fall head first in love because no matter how they try to fight it theirs always some woman that brings them to their knee's! And Rain will bring wrath down, its already started whether he knows it or not! And I think that's what he is truly afraid of! Until next time Luv's💕💋

Ahhhhh! Sinful Demon King has been finalized and uploaded to Amazon. When I started writing book 2, I set out to write about the action, the magic, the plot secrets that were to unfold, but something else took me by surprise -- the relationship between Wrath and Rain. Their interactions in this book were some of my favorite to write and because we're in the middle of the trilogy, it can't be all sunshine and roses. These two are volcanic and I can't wait for you guys to read this book! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you like toxic and abusive relationships with men that have the personality of dirt, then this series is for you. I honestly was feeling ok about this series until about halfway through this book. Yes, there are some problematic aspects that bugged me,
*how everyone keeps referring to grown women as girls,
*no positive female relationships with the main female character,
*Rain seems to get off on getting physically assaulted and abused by Wrath,
*Wrath having no personality besides being angry and horny.
But overall, I thought it was starting to get better with this book. It seemed maybe the demon king was being well...less of a complete manipulative abusive asshole and starting to actually show some feelings towards Rain.

That was until around halfway through when the relationship between Rain and Wrath, which was already toxic and abusive, turned even worse with him threatening and harming her loved ones. All because she refused to bow down to him and sign her life and freedom away when he demanded it. Yet she also seems to think she loves him the entire time? He threatens the safety of her loved ones (physically hurting one) and also plans on torturing her so she will give in to his demand...but I'm supposed to be rooting for this relationship? I don't know when we as readers started thinking these were good enemies to lovers' storylines, but I'm honestly so sick of writers using the enemies to lovers trope to justify abuse. I will not be finishing this series and will be steering clear of this writer in the future.

I don’t know if feelings are real or Wrath just wants too use Rain, I need answer lol. I need more Wrath & Rain ASAP especially how this book ended.

The MMC is an abusive asshole and the FMC is a pathetic girl who keeps panting over him even when he threatens and physically hurts her. This is supposed to be romance??

A heart racing sequel

This one was even better than the first. We get to learn more about the characters and the world in this one. This book is the perfect mix of engaging story and heart stopping romance. Im looking forward to reading the next and final book.

I’m sorry but I DNF it. What happened to my badass female lead? She became so annoying so quickly. Wrath does nothing but show her that he’s awful yet she’s projecting all of this emotion onto him. I just couldn’t continue, it pissed me off way too much. This blows because I loved the first book.

This was better than the first. I’m listening to the trilogy. Only downside- wish it was a duet instead of 1 person reading. Makes for better listening.

In this book, Rain finds out that she has Wrath's lost power, and he wants it back.
He will do anything to get it back, including seducing Rain.
Rain tries to find out more about her birth from her mother, but the things she finds out challenge everything she knows.

I enjoyed this sequel more than the first one. It was full of action, betrayal, hate and love, secrets revealed. Even though this book has a lot of red flags I enjoyed it and want to see what happens next.

Pacing is still weird and the story got annoying. Heroine is a wishy washy idiot. She follows whoever she's with and listens to them, betraying the hero no matter how many times he's saved her, etc. Basically siding with the people that have hurt her. Hero is just okay. He basically has his shadow people beat her until she blacks out because she asked for it and the whole scene is skimmed and then pretty much forgotten about right after they have sex. so dumb.

Extreme emotions, sizzling chemistry, a push-pull attraction, something, lost, something found, twists, and betrayal. This volume ends on a cliffhanger, so hold your breath until the next book in the trilogy is ready to read because we will be wanting some answers. This is a fun and engaging read.

This second book in the series was a decent read. The story had its moments, and I could definitely see the potential in the author's ideas. The concept of demons and a supernatural world coexisting with ours was intriguing, and there were some twists that kept me engaged. The characters were still not as fleshed out as i would have liked. I wanted to know more about their backgrounds and motivations. Sometimes it felt like they were making choices without much explanation, which left me wanting more depth. The pacing was a bit uneven, with some parts feeling rushed while others dragged on. The writing style was casual and easy to follow, which I appreciated. It made for a quick and uncomplicated read, perfect for a lazy weekend.

M - Violence, sex scenes, Demons and demon sluts.
Why am I even reading this, it's not great writing and the protagonist is a whining immature annoying silly girl. . . And yet I will read the last book so 🤷

This is the second installment of the Wrath/ Rain story.
Wrath, sexy demon king from another world. everyone bows down to his will that is until he meets Rain. They are drawn to each other... love/hate which side on the coin so they fall on? Neither of them has quite figured it out yet. Is Wrath a savior or a destroyer? Can he be trusted? Can anyone be trusted? Will Rain give him what he seeks or is it not that simple? Every answer brings more questions. Exciting and ever evolving characters.

A really well spun tale. I couldn't put it down! I read it while walking the dog even- lol. Now have to wait for the next book to get to the truth of Wrath and Rain, but I have enjoyed the trip so far.

Start at book one and get caught in it's tangled webs!

I am fully in love. The first book intrigued me but this one fully grabbed me. Wrath and Rain together are amazing.

I literally squealed at some parts of this book. Wrath and Rain are just drawn together and I’m drawn to them. Rain is strong and stubborn and determined to do what she wants. Wrath as much as he complains about Rain and he secretly loves it.

I loved reading this book and I’ve loved the journey so far. I can’t wait for the third 😭.

If you love sexy demons this book is 100% for you!
