The story opened up with Maevyth Bronwick and her sister, fighting to survive in a world where woman had no rights. The entire beginning I am holding my breath hoping for a better outcome for the both of them and when they thought they could finally escape their cruel stepmother, somehow ended up even worse predicament.
When finally things started looking a tiny better for Marburg, I felt like I could breathe again. I really liked the characters and the world building . When the magic and the monsters made appearance, it made the story so much interesting even though it took a bit longer to get there.
Maevyth finds herself in another world and meet Zevender, a ruthless killer. He cared for no one except his siblings and would not even give Marburg the time of day. However, their chemistry was on point and I found their relationship fantastic. I was rooting for the both of them.
Overall, I truly loved this story and can’t wait for more. Anathema would be appealing to readers who enjoy dark, gothic fantasy romance.

What Carly did not anticipated was to find her fiancé’s best friend Josh Mathers had the exact same idea as her.
Josh and Carly were very likable characters. Their chemistry was on point. I love how they both equally cared for Scottie. Scottie was my favorite though, he knew what he wanted and he didn’t apologize for it.
I did felt that maybe if we had a bit of the past with Brad I would have understood both of them as of why they were fighting the attraction, after two years I didn’t felt that they should have fought their feelings so hard.
“Sometimes I think you’re the only one who truly knows how I’m feeling - why the past two years have been a blur.” “Her words penetrated my should, reminding me just how alone I’d felt, until her.”
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I loved all the sexy scenes, the slow burn was worth it at the end and I found myself laughing a lot.

In this second book of the Angels and demons series, we meet couple of characters from the first book. Cole Matheson, an artist has goals and dreams of his own. However; life was not working on his favor and his depression kept on drawing him deeper in blackness until he meets Ambri.
“I need someone to see my work and believe in me.”
Ambri was bound to never beg for love. His demon powers were to make others lust for him. He was a very interesting character.
“I’d been consigned to a life of searching for belonging and love in the beds of a hundred strangers and never found it.”
I found myself enjoying these two and their attraction to each other irresistible. Their pain was so deep and they felt hopeless at times. But together they felt like there could be hope for them after all.
I can’t help but hurt for these two and their circumstances. However; I was missing more action. I felt the story dragged a bit at times. I would have loved to see more physical battle and fights between the demons and the angels.
Overall, I enjoyed this story and will be appealing to readers who enjoy paranormal stories about love, acceptance and second chances.
