From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book two in her Flesh and Fire series…

The only one who can save Sera now is the one she spent her life planning to kill.

The truth about Sera’s plan is out, shattering the fragile trust forged between her and Nyktos. Surrounded by those distrustful of her, all Sera has is her duty. She will do anything to end Kolis, the false King of Gods, and his tyrannical rule of Iliseeum, thus stopping the threat he poses to the mortal realm.

Nyktos has a plan, though, and as they work together, the last thing they need is the undeniable, scorching passion that continues to ignite between them. Sera cannot afford to fall for the tortured Primal, not when a life no longer bound to a destiny she never wanted is more attainable than ever. But memories of their shared pleasure and unrivaled desire are a siren’s call impossible to resist.

And as Sera begins to realize that she wants to be more than a Consort in name only, the danger surrounding them intensifies. The attacks on the Shadowlands are increasing, and when Kolis summons them to Court, a whole new risk becomes apparent. The Primal power of Life is growing inside her, pushing her closer to the end of her Culling. And without Nyktos’s love—an emotion he’s incapable of feeling—she won’t survive her Ascension. That is if she even makes it to her Ascension and Kolis doesn’t get to her first. Because time is running out. For both her and the realms.

From the desperation of golden crowns…

Casteel Da’Neer knows all too well that very few are as cunning or vicious as the Blood Queen, but no one, not even him, could’ve prepared for the staggering revelations. The magnitude of what the Blood Queen has done is almost unthinkable.

And born of mortal flesh…

Nothing will stop Poppy from freeing her King and destroying everything the Blood Crown stands for. With the strength of the Primal of Life’s guards behind her, and the support of the wolven, Poppy must convince the Atlantian generals to make war her way—because there can be no retreat this time. Not if she has any hope of building a future where both kingdoms can reside in peace.

A great primal power rises…

Together, Poppy and Casteel must embrace traditions old and new to safeguard those they hold dear—to protect those who cannot defend themselves. But war is only the beginning. Ancient primal powers have already stirred, revealing the horror of what began eons ago. To end what the Blood Queen has begun, Poppy might have to become what she has been prophesied to be—what she fears the most.

As the Harbinger of Death and Destruction. Continue reading “Book Review: The War of Two Queens (Blood and Ash #4)” →

Danger, betrayal, and enticing forbidden love clash in book three of #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Harbinger trilogy!

When Angels Fall

Trinity Marrow has lost the battle and her beloved Protector. Even with both demons and Wardens on her side, Trin may not win the war against the Harbinger.

Bringing Lucifer back to the world to fight the Harbinger is probably a really, really bad idea, but they’re out of options—and the world’s ultimate fallen angel is the only being powerful enough to impact the outcome.

As Trin and Zayne form a new and more dangerous bond and Lucifer unleashes Hell on earth, the apocalypse looms and the world teeters on the end of forever. Win or lose, one thing is certain—nothing will ever be the same. Continue reading “Book Review: Grace and Glory (Harbinger #3)” →

She’s been the victim and the survivor…

Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers.

The enemy and the warrior…

Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose to either forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head.

A lover and heartmate…

But the greatest threat to them and to Atlantia is what awaits in the far west, where the Queen of Blood and Ash has her own plans, ones she has waited hundreds of years to carry out. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible—travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people—and each other.

And now she will become Queen… Continue reading “Book Review: The Crown of Gilded Bones (Blood and Ash #3)” →

A Wicked Trilogy Novella’s Review

So, I need another book. A spin off. Something. Because these characters, this world – it’s so good. It’s honestly probably one of my favorite series of hers.

Also, it feels like it was left open ended – just a bit – so I’m wondering if there’s a spin off, or like, next generation thing in the works. Basically, all her other OG series are getting spin offs, so pretty please?

I’m going to do mini reviews for each book specifically, but overall, I enjoyed these novellas. I clearly didn’t read a synopsis because when I started The Prince I had no idea that Brighton was the main character – I really need to start reading synopses more. I’m not complaining because I love Brighton, I just expected to start reading about Ivy and Ren and that didn’t happen.

And I know that Jen is often pretty rough on her characters, they go through so much shit and then come out stronger, but omfg. Poor Brighton.

I’m really hoping there’s another book, or another trilogy or something, because things still feel unresolved. Also, I would have totally read the crap out of these novellas had they been full books – I think they could have easily been full length books. They’re just as addicting as any other JLA book and as steamy.

If your curious about my reviews for Wicked, Torn and Brave I’ve linked them, so feel free to check them out! Continue reading “A Wicked Trilogy Novella’s Review” →

Book Review: Unchained – Nephilim Rising

Title: Unchained

Author: J. Lynn (Jennifer L. Armentrout)

Pub. Date: September 17, 2013

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Between the pissed off creatures that want demon-hunter Lily Marks dead and the fallen angel who just…wants her, Lily is about ready to trade in forever for a comfy job in a cubicle farm.

The fact that she and Julian are civil to one another is enough to have her thrown out of the Sanctuary, but she can’t shake her not-so-angelic stalker or how he brings her dangerously close to ecstasy.

Her forbidden relationship with Julian provides the perfect fuel for suspicion when a traitor is discovered to be working within the Sanctuary. Lily quickly finds herself hunted by well, everyone.

Her only hope is to discover the real traitor before she loses everything–and she’ll need Julian’s help. That is, if Julian is really there to help her…and not destroy her.

Yeah, being a Nephilim isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be.

Cover Reveal – Grace and Glory (The Harbinger #3)

So, if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram – or follow Jennifer L. Armentrout on either platform as well – then you’ve probably already seen this absolutely stunning cover. And then you probably promptly died thinking about the sheer amount of time we have to wait to be able to find out what Trin and Zayne are going to do next.

I know I am. I’m dying to know what happens next. I need to know what happens next.

JLA continuously delivers amazing books and this series is no exception. I’ve read both Storm and Fury and Rage and Ruin and I can attest that once you start them, you really don’t want to put them down until you finish them.
