Okay, I am definitely blown away by this ending. What just happened? I have to dive right into the next installment. (

This was so fantastic. The cliffhanger ending had me dying to know what was going to happen I started the third book that night. I love the characters and the world building and the development and growth the characters are doing in this series. (

This series is great. A lot of humor. (

As compelling of a read as the first book was. I genuinely couldn’t put it down and I can’t devour the third one fast enough to continue the story and discover all there is to come. Very enjoyable! (

Couldn't put it down! I love the honesty of the MFC even when she's lying to herself, she admits it. The character grows stronger and matures in this second book and as she does, so does her relationship with Hawk/Casteel. There are lots of moments of introspection that really gives insight to Poppy's personality but also so much action, battle, and close calls that it never feels slow as they travel ever closer to answers, love, and Casteel's home.

Quotations

I don’t want to pretend,” I whispered. “I’m Poppy and you’re Casteel, and this is real.

Let’s make a deal that we don’t borrow tomorrow’s problems today.

He was the first thing I’d ever truly chosen for myself.

Always,” he whispered in the breath we shared. “Your heart was always safe with me. It always will be. There is nothing I will protect more fiercely or with more devotion, Poppy. Trust in that—in what you feel from me.

I fell for you when you were Hawke, and I kept falling for you when you became Casteel.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a new novel in her Blood and Ash series...

Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance?

A Betrayal...

Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that's one order she's more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.

A Choice....

Casteel Da'Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he's the only way for her to get what she wants�??to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she's ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself�??about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she's far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.

A Secret...

But unrest has grown in Atlantia as they await the return of their Prince. Whispers of war have become stronger, and Poppy is at the very heart of it all. The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late
