About this listen
The trials are over. The game has only just begun...
I came to Dariu to win a husband—and an empire. I wasn't prepared for that husband to be so set in his brutal ways, for his people to see our marriage as a bad omen... or for my heart to be aching for three princes I can't have.
I can't afford to let any of those problems stop me. My kingdom is counting on me, and all the conquered countries of the empire need my help. I'll win the respect of every skeptic and enemy, no matter what dangers I have to face.
But when rebellion stirs in one of the outer kingdoms and my husband starts taking out his fury on the men I hold dearest, I'm not sure how much more sacrifice I can bear. To bring about the peace I've dreamed of, must I wage my own private war against the man I swore to serve?
*A Pact of Blood is the second book in a new fantasy romance series with a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance, smoldering morally grey men, and a determined heroine they'll regret underestimating. There are more books to come.*
Note: This book contains a scene of attempted SA by the villain.

Story
Nine years ago, my sister died at Firestone Academy. At least, that's what they claim. I don't believe their lies about a tragic accident. Now I've come to face the trials myself — tests that will determine which Quarter I'll serve for the rest of my days. But I have other plans. Behind these ancient walls, dark magic pulses through every stone, and three elite shadow weavers rule absolute. The Princes: Beaufort Lincoln commands shadows like breathing, his charm masking deadly intent. Dray Eros weaves darkness into deadly art, violence wrapped in seductive smiles.

Story
Never stop running. And no matter what, never let the world know who you really are. I’ve spent my whole life hiding. Training. Preparing. Hoping that no one will discover my secrets. What I can do. Who I am. And I’ve gotten so good at it, sometimes even I forget. Until them. The wolf pack with a ruthless reputation and a penchant for revenge. The protective fighter. The charming Brit. The shy hacker. The silent mercenary. The cruel assassin. They see more than anyone ever has before. And even with demons of their own, they give me sanctuary.

Story
I grew up knowing three important facts. One, my parents hated Nexus shifters. Two, I was taught everyone should be scared of me, and they should be. Three, I'm a monster. I'm a Nexus, a powerful shifter bonded to five other souls… only I rejected them all at the mating ceremony and ran away with my parents when I was fifteen. After five years on the run, I've finally been found. My Nexus mates dragged me back to the biggest pack community in the mountains of Scotland, where they'll make sure I follow each of their rules and never let me out of their sight.

Story
Finding out you’re the daughter of a millionaire true crime novelist isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When I was two, I was kidnapped. Kidnapped by a loving family, sure, but still kidnapped. Now, my biological mom wants me to live with her on the opposite side of the country. Her…and my new stepdad and his jerk of a son: Parrish.

Story
My name is Sia Reynolds. I’m a girl with an unsettling past, and the outlook of my future seems even bleaker. I need a job to get my life back on track so when my best friend (and only friend) Lettie suggests I work for her more than abrasive father I have little choice but to take her up on the offer. I had no idea that meant committing to a life of secrecy bathed in blood…

Story
I dream that my mate will give me the home I never had. Will give me the life I never had. One day, my dream comes true. The finding-my-mate part. That's it. Now, I'm stuck with a mate who's already taken. One who views me as worthless, and who never lets me forget it. Every. Single. Day. As an omega, I never had a place in my pack. It doesn't take me long to learn that I don't have one with my mate either. I might just find one in Winter Lake.

Story
When I left for college, I put 1,000 miles between my future and my past. I'd made a choice - I was going to cross back to the other side, to live with the living. I just didn't know how. And then I met Nate Preeter. An All-American baseball player, Nate wasn't supposed to notice a ghost-of-a-girl like me. But he did. He shouldn't want to know my name. But he did. And when he learned my secret and saw the scars it left behind, he was supposed to run. But he didn't.

One thing I still love and perpetually admire about this series is the design of the female lead—it’s like watching a master-manipulator at work, from the inside. Only … her intentions aren’t selfish or nefarious, there’s not really narcissism. She’s masterfully designed, as is the world in which she lives.
It’s full of delicious scheming, royal (lethal) politics, and absolutely demented ruler, and some of the most epic world-building I’ve encountered. Throw in trials, the highest stakes possible, a bit of magic, and some SA and … well, have I already said ‘delicious’?
The ‘twist’ wasn’t surprising to me but it definitely made things even more interesting. I cannot wait for book 3!
Excellent!
4 stars.
