I don't need a fearless superheroine but - is this the same woman who faced the river devil and other horrifying creatures? Also, even though they took down the Soul Taker, the bad guy behind th ...more

Re-read July 2024
Wow, I can't believe I didn't write a review for this one. Maybe it is because, if you're 13 books into the series, you kind of know what you're going to get.

I feel like there were a lot of details that didn't stick with me in the first read - maybe I was reading too fast - that caught me by surprise in this re-read. Finding out who Sherwood is, Bonarata's bullshit (getting to see the backstory of Stefan, Marsilia, and Wulfe was enlightening, but also really ...more

This series just continues to be exciting and thrilling to read. Mercy and Adam are relationship goals and their friends and allies entertain.

Yes, things happen and even this far in the series I feel that I can catch-up quickly, but I found myself frustrated at times with the narrative handholding and it makes me wonder where the series is going. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of a Mercy and Adam story, but it felt like something was missing at points or maybe it’s just the structure feels repetitive? I obviously can’t sort it out, but I’ll be here for the next as always.
