A Kingdom of Venom and Vows

Stars and Shadows, Book 3

De: Holly Renee

Narrado por: Stella Hunter, J.F. Harding

I entered into a bargain—choosing my mate over my freedom.

But I underestimated the crowned prince who took me. His touch like venom. His vengeance lethal.

He craves a power I no longer hold, and he’ll sacrifice every part of me until he gets it.

But I don’t belong to him. I belong to his brother. His brother who will come for me, consequences be damned.

My fate is entangled between two princes—one who craves my power, the other who covets me—and I have more to lose than I ever imagined.

War rages in a game between queens, and I have become their pawn. But I will fight for my life, for my mate, and he will raze kingdoms to get me back.

Felt a little Light..

I really enjoyed these books! I loved the characters, the unique magic system, and the brother-against-brother theme—it all had so much potential. The world itself was intriguing, and I found myself wanting to know more about how it worked.

That’s where my biggest frustration lies: I just wish there had been more. More world-building, more depth to the history and the magic, more of a well-developed timeline to anchor the story. The series had such strong foundations, but it never quite dug deep enough to fully deliver on them. Every event felt rushed and shortened to fit within the small book sizes.

Honestly, the three-book series felt like it could have been condensed into a single, more substantial novel—or maybe a tight duet. With richer development, it could have been truly epic. As it stands, it’s an enjoyable read, but it leaves you wishing the author had gone further with all the fantastic ideas they introduced.

Feel good read! Easy listening and enjoyable

Feel good read! Easy listening and enjoyable story. If you are looking for a complicated storyline, this is not it. But good to read when you want something interesting, easy, spicy and romantic

almost reads like fanfiction

pretty linear story line, no major plot twists. character lack major depth and character repeat the same phrases often.

Epic

Adara & Evren are ready for war! But they are also dealing with so much. Adara is struggling and grieving, Evren wants to marry Adara and keep her safe, he wants to keep his people and his kingdom safe.
There is so much love, passion and devotion in this story. I love that through all their trials and heartache their love grows stronger and their trust grows as well.
I love the friendships, the banter, the love.
The battle was swift, but brutal and the ending was emotional.
I loved Evren & Adara’s story so much.

Great Series

I love all these books!! Great read through and through!! Don’t pass up these books!!
