Unfortunately, that was not the case for me. But while some gaps in the storyline could be justified in the first part, implying bigger and better things would be on their way and leaving the reader only hungry for more, those gaps needed to be filled and built on in the second installment for it to give us a complete and satisfying story. The very format of this two-part serial allowed it to be told at a particular pace, for the overall story to peak twice in order to accommodate both installments. ![]() I have been waiting with bated breath for the conclusion of Jax and Gia’s passionate story ever since we first met them and fell in love with them in Afterburn, their intoxicating romance taking us on a whirlwind ride from the very first scene, and that is why my expectations of this second book were mammoth. ![]() ![]() A new Sylvia Day novel is like Christmas morning in my eyes, the same kind of anticipation, excitement, pure joy leading up to it, and that is why she is one of those rare authors whose books I devour the moment they are released. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He looked at philosophy as an instrument to be used by people in their search for justice and truth. He did not even treat it as a profession. Socrates did not treat philosophy as an amusement.

This book, right off the bat, was a grim dark, twisted version of a fantasy retelling. I was caught like a fish, hook, line, and sinker. The synopsis included some of my favorite things: a castle on the coast (I can practically smell the salt air), princesses, and fairytales. The cover was so beautiful and intriguing I just had to know more about this book. I picked this book up from Target on a whim (during quarantine when I had to physically go into the store to pick up my prescriptions). ![]() |
