Great sequel

Love the story. It had an amazing plot and character development. The sex scene were hot and sexy.

What a crazy ride.....

4.5 Stars 🌟

This series has been the come from behind series of the week for me. I think it might have been because I went into this with really no expectations and boy oh boy did it just blow my mind.

The storyline itself revolves around our two MMC's- Cade and Miles - as they are now on the run from everybody. Cade of course, is the exiled Prince (and a Mage) who was betrayed by his family so brutally that it hurt my heart - not to mention they tried to kill him. Then there is Miles, a werewolf shifter who has been through the gamut because of Cade (and his life is on the line too). Cade is not aware of the fact that Miles' mother was "supposedly" the wolf who killed his parents, but Miles does not believe that (and honestly, neither do I). Unfortunately, Cade freezes up whenever the topic arises, so it is not something that they have ever discussed.

So they are on the run, and trying to deal with the poison that they were injected with that not only took away Miles' ability to shift but did crazy things to Cade's magic. BUT...these guys are not giving up and little by little, things are beginning to possibly look up. No spoilers, but let's just say that some things are happening that might change the course that they thought they were on.

Of course, this book ends with an AWFUL cliffhanger, but by this time, I am completely invested. Seriously, I already went and bought the next book. I HAVE to find out how they are going to deal and recover from the latest blow to their lives.

4.5 stars

Listening to this brought out every emotion tenfold - that ending left me in tears and I’m so glad the final book is out soon.

Miles and Cade have been through so much. The plotting between House Bartlett and Declan, House Morrison’s ambitions, the poisoning of magic… I wish I could say it only gets better from here, but I have a feeling book 3 will be just as difficult before they get a HEA.

This is another cliffhanger and the third book isn’t available.

This story is a continuation of the first book in the series. It ends in another cliffhanger. I don’t like that since the third book is unavailable.

The story becomes even more addictive!

I honestly think Kai Butler is one of my all-time favorite authors. Both of her audio series are incredibly well written and dense with lore that is unwound slowly as the story progresses. I’m definitely able to listen to these books over and over again and appreciate something new each and every time. This book’s end was more heart wrenching than I can even handle. I will be waiting in fraught anticipation for the third book of this series to be released!

l love this series so far, and i am sure I'll love the rest

I reall enjoy this series, they would make a really good movie series. Although movie are usually never as good as book, but I would love a gay romance fantasy movie series. We have very little gay movies for our community.

Can’t wait for the next one!

Man did this leave me wanting more. I am totally enjoying this series but I expected no less from KB ☺️

Perfect Sequel

The only thing I don’t like is that I have to wait to find out what happens in the next one. I read this book and the first one within a week. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them.

Angsty but amazing

Not as repeatable as Butler’s previous Wormwood Summer series, but excellent as an epic trilogy. As always with Butler’s work, characters and plot lines are well-thought-out and thoroughly developed over the series. Perfect choice of narrator too.
