My Review

I received a free copy from the author and voluntarily reviewed it.

I really like this series and was excited to get this fourth book in the series and started reading it soon after receiving it. Bea and Linc now know they are betrothed to one another and I liked seeing how they handled this new information and grow even closer. I liked reading more about the characters and this world filled with vampire politics.

I like reading about Bea and Linc, they make for such a great couple. And I liked seeing them grow even closer in this book now that they know they are betrothed to one another and no longer have to hide their feelings. Things also turn steamy and it was nice seeing how they both know so little about how that all works and figure things out together. It all felt very realistic and I liked seeing them figure things out.

I also liked reading about Beatrice question what she would want to do in her future, she doesn’t just want to be Linc’s wife, but isn’t quite sure what she wants to do besides that. I liked seeing her ask these questions and figure out more about who she is and wants to be, now that she’s more comfortable at court. I also like how she continues to learn more, both about things like history and politics as well as skills like reading and writing that she never learned as a kid. There also is some tension as Bea’s brother Bastian doesn’t seem to like Linc and I wonder how that will play out and create more unrest. There is more about some of the side characters and it just very interesting reading about this vampire world and the politics involved.

To summarize: This was another great read in the series. I like reading more about Beatrice and Linc and seeing them grow closer. They no longer have to hide their feelings now that they know they are betrothed to the other and I liked seeing their romance deepen. Things turn steamy and I liked seeing how neither knew a lot about that and they are figuring things out together, it felt very realistic. I like reading about this world filled with vampire politics as well as the various side characters. I already look forward to the next book!
