Release Date: August 20, 2022

Rating: 4 of 5*

I received an ARC from the author to read and review. Quoted excerpt/s may change in the final print.

Hudson Abbott, you magnificent human. I love you.

That’s it. That’s the review.

I waited so long for this sequel and every second of agony of wait is so worth it! I expected I would love it but I didn’t know I would love it THIS MUCH. I think I am OBSESSED. No, I KNOW I am.

Adaline Winters gives the best swoon. The push and pull between Cora and Hudson was *chef’s kiss* The chemistry was over the roof and the banter was just… *dreamy sigh*

There were so many revelations in this installment. We get to know more about who Cora is and what she can really do. Although I feel like she still has so many secrets we need to uncover? She has not lost her sass and spark and I love that. I loved her in book one but I love her even more now!

I’m so happy to be reunited with this crew! I missed their shenanigans! Maggie, Rebecca, Cora’s aunts, Dangerous Dave, Sebastian and of course, Bella– they were all great!

The world of the Cora Roberts series is expanding in ways I didn’t expect and I can’t wait to know more! There’s so much more to explore and discover!

I’m not gonna lie though, I’m just a bit bothered by the similarities with the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. I’ve noticed it in book one but chose to ignore it… Anyone else or is it just me?

I’m so excited for what’s next! Book three, you better be coming! ❤

FAVORITE QUOTES:

“It’s not a bad thing, Dave. Having enemies means you’ve got standards, lines that can’t be crossed. It means you have principles and values that are unmoved by evil, even if it’s more powerful than you.”

“I interrupted the wild monkey sex,” Dave said. “On account of the escalating murderous floral arrangements.”

“Not a sentence you hear every day,” Maggie said.
