Publisher's Summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes the next novel in her Blood and Ash series....

Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance?

A Betrayal...

Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her. 

A Choice...

Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants - to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself - about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.

A Secret...

But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.

Story is great but too much sex.

This is a great follow on from the first book in the series which I enjoyed very much. While the story is a very good one and quite compelling, unfortunately there is just too much focus on sex for me.

As addictive as it’s precursor

Loved it! Very fiery, addictive and funny. It has its cliches but that’s totally okay, and I am unashamed to say, I love that cheesy ness. The performance was good too, the narrator’s rendition of Casteel sometimes cracks me up a bit, but she still does an awesome job.
Finished with another cliffhanger, so I’m rather eager to listen to the next instalment when it is released next year.

So glad I kept going on this series!

I LOVE this series and the narration is excellent. I was hoping the final book was out but it's not yet. I'll be waiting to read about the war between the two Queens next.

I have to say there is a good mix of sexual tension, character development, and action. I found myself laughing out loud at times just because I was so into the dialogue. I can get a little annoyed at the immaturity of the protagonist with her temper tantrums but it's all part and parcel.

Really enjoy this series.

JLA, I do not like the way your mind works

Me: JLA, I do not like the way your mind works
JLA: Oh God's, whatever, I want to stab you

This book felt like reading the diary of a disturbed 12 year old! It even refered to the diary of a courtesan type character. The plot was non-existent, honestly I can't even remember what the 1st 3/4 of the book were about. Well there was more unnecessary shuddering, amber eyes, filthy language from Casteel and stabbing or thoughts thereof.

The world building was barely there and it's still hard to understand how exactly it works. The only thing we know works is their raging hormones.

It only got 2 stars because of the very last line, which I'm loathe to say means I have to read the next book because I'm curious, it appears something is finally about to happen.

God's save us **rolls eyes**

Worth it

Gods! I had goosebumps for the entire last chapter! The character's accents dip occassionally and some of the sex scenes drag on a bit but definitely a great listen.

Raw, adult fantasy fiction.

Just love it, simple. Hard to find a series for fantasy lovers over 40 and who can’t let go of the genre. Just love it.
