Goodreads Synopsis:
A curse is a
difficult thing to break. Vald, prince of Alsvieth upon taking up arms
to defend his country was beset with a curse that transforms him into a
ravenous cannibalistic beast.
Review:
I wasn’t expecting
this series to be so… intense. Or plot driven. I’m surprised by it, but
enjoying it. This series is turning out to be much better done than I thought
it would be.
First, I love the
attraction between Havi and Vald. It’s intense. And very smutty. And I love the
smut, I must admit. (It also includes some tentacle-like things, once both in
this volume and the first one. It was a surprise, and a little intense, but
also a little humorous when the author mentions it in her notes.) But I’m just
plain enjoying seeing their attraction build, Vald being confused and
conflicted, and Havi feeling a little possessive.
I like both of them
on their own, too. Havi is fun, and is given most comedic opportunities, which
I like. Vald is a good guy, very sweet, and I’m looking forward to seeing his
feelings for Havi really develop.
The plot took some
surprising turns in this volume, including some kidnappings. Vald got to take
advantage of his curse, though, and that should lead to some good things. I’m
not going to spoil any of who’s behind it, also because we’re just starting to
get a glimpse of it. I’m intrigued to see where it all leads next.
I’m surprised by how much I’m enjoying this series,
but I really am. I will be reading the next volume soon, and kind of dread the
long waiting period that is to come.
