Out of my comfort zone, straight to hell...but her hell was so intense and interesting, and her revenge was worth the time to read this one. Looking forward to the last part of this trilogy. ( )

Juniper has spent years running from the cult that tried to sacrifice her to their god when she was a teenager. But no one can keep running forever and when she's offered a deal to take her revenge, Juniper jumps at the chance.

Zane has spent years waiting for the chance to finally claim Juniper's soul. So he's all for the deal on offer - even if the terms are a little inconvenient and getting more difficult by the second. But the more time they spend together, the more they realise that all the jagged sharp edges they have are the perfect fit with one another.

I really really enjoyed this. Is it perfect? No. But did it hit all the right spots while I was reading it? Yes! Juniper was incredible. Her resilience and her strength and her sheer bloodthirstiness was insane. She was broken with lots of jagged edges and it was perfection. I loved her stubbornness and her will to survive. It was brutal and I loved every minute.

Her relationship with Zane was dark and twisted and surprisingly sweet at points. For all they hurt one another physically, mentally they're all about propping one another up and I was all for it. The sex was steamy and while I did have a few issues with some of it - I felt the author adequately addressed the kink and why liking things in the bedroom doesn't equate it with being okay outside of it. I liked that Juniper was like this is okay right now but if he said that to me normally there would be problems. It showed that she valued herself and I liked that.

The world building was interesting and I would've liked to see more of it. It reminded me a lot of the tv show, Supernatural with the Gabriel plotlines. But while the world building was interesting, I felt that it was lacking at points in explaining how things worked with the gods and demons and it would've been a stronger book if this was included. That said, there was a lot of action, a ton of character development and a heavy focus on the relationship between Juniper and Zane so it was very strong in other ways.

I didn't love Leon and Rae's blurb but I'm curious enough now to at least read it and see what I think. And I'm excited to see there will be a third book based around Everly and Callum. I can't wait to read it.

As for this one, it won't be for everyone but if you love a love story between villains with interesting, if somewhat simplistic worldbuilding, then this is for you. 4.5 stars, rounded to 4 stars. ( )

Zane and Juniper are completely unhinged but boy are they fun. I enjoyed this book even more than the first one. Juniper is all grit and she is truly a survivor! She will survive at all costs and leave a bloody trail right behind her. I didn't think I would like anyone more than Leon from the first book but Zane quickly won me over. I like a dry sarcastic smart ass with heart. There was a lot of violence but I didn't mind it. It was a romance with a lot of horror. Blood galore! I can't find much to complain about because I enjoyed the read. ( )

I LOVED THIS BOOK. So I loved the first one but I actually liked this one better. Zane and Juniper are such an amazing couple. I love them separately and together! This book has a lot more TW's then the first so read the warning! ( )
