About this listen
The King of Darkness is dead.
It’s time for a new one to rise....
London Crow isn’t who I thought she was.
She’s worse.
My hate for her knows no bounds.
My need for her has no end.
But it’s my inability to have her that might just end us all, as the fates refuse to be ignored.
Now, there’s a darkness sweeping the streets of Rathe, threatening to destroy the Kingdom we know and love, and it’s all because of her.
The mate I can’t have.
The bond I can’t let go.
There is only one way to restore balance, and it begins and ends with her.
The problem? I broke the girl into a thousand tiny pieces without a second thought. Earning her forgiveness won’t be easy, but that’s fine.
If she won’t give it freely, I will take it.
One mistake at a time.

Story
"You will go to Rathe University, live among the giftless and those of light magic. You, Knight Deveraux, will learn to coexist." I've never heard more wasted words in my life. Then again, the gifted counsel never did have much to say that wasn't. The only members amongst them who speak a thing worth listening to are my parents, the king and queen of the Stygians, the people of Dark magic. Unfortunately for me and my brothers, they've chosen to play nice instead of sinking their talons into anyone who dares demand a thing from their heirs. In this instance at least.

Story
The Elite Kings Club left a trail of fear behind every person who whispered their names throughout the centuries that they'd existed. They were the product of every nightmare you were told as a child, only now, they don't go bump in the night. They race modified cars, throw parties to conceal their morbid games, and leave behind the kind of chaos that can never be tamed. They were from an ancient bloodline of the three Founding Fathers, and it was almost time for them to plunge deeper into the depths of hell.

I've tried to forget him. He refuses to allow it. Now, here we are, forced to spend the holidays together, pretending everything is as merry as ever. It isn't. I know this. He knows this. Everyone else? Not so much thanks to the man determined to be mine. Despite all that's happened between us, he swears not everything has changed. He might be right.

It’s complicated. Two years ago, he broke my heart when he left me to do his father’s bidding. After months of crying, I finally accepted he was gone and wasn’t going to look back. That maybe he’d never loved me at all. I never wanted to see Luca again. Now, a cruel twist of fate has signed me over to him in a heartless deal. I’m his. He thinks he did me a favor, but I feel like I’ve been given a death sentence. He doesn't want to get married because he still loves me. No, he did it for money. More power.

"Girls like you aren't exactly welcomed at a place like this, so keep your head down and look the other way." Those were the exact words of my social worker when she dropped me in my newest hellhole, a place for "troubled teens". I didn't listen, and now I'm on their radar. Too bad for them, I don't follow rules. Too bad for me, they're determined to make sure I do. Inconceivably attractive and treated like kings...these are the boys of Brayshaw High.

As your paralegal (and ex), I have to be honest: You’re a horrible lawyer. Honestly, the worst I’ve ever seen. You never communicate, you pile on overtime, and you’re constantly in a bad mood. Now, about those panties on your desk. No, that wasn’t a desperate cry for your attention. It was the result of a lost bet with my roommate. But if you were even half the lawyer you claim to be, you’d have figured that out without all the ego-tripping.

“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

Aria Rialta is a girl of two realities. One she was born to. The other she was chosen for. Both are a threat. Every night when Aria falls asleep, she enters the nightmare world of Faydor to fight a war. It’s her calling to help destroy the Kruen, who feed sin and chaos to our everyday world of vulnerable humans. It would be a lonely realm in which to do battle if not for Pax, Aria’s dangerously irresistible soulmate whose mere touch can kill. It’s also a realm that’s getting harder to escape.

Long ago, Requiem was plagued by war and abandoned by the gods but Death saved the suffering people, giving each soul a hundred years of immortality. With that grace, he also sent two Maidens. One of Life, for healing and comfort, and one of Death, the only person in the world with the ability to kill. Generations later, the Life Maiden is missing and Princess Deyanira is nothing more than a trained weapon. A hunter. A murderer wrenched into Death's dark court to have the name of her next victim seared onto her palm.

It didn't matter how wild I allowed my imagination to run, it always led me to the same place in the end. It led me to him. My future was clear, and he was it. Until suddenly, he wasn't. Now there's a new man in my life, one who isn't afraid to go after what he wants, and what he wants...is me.

Story
Long ago, Requiem was plagued by war and abandoned by the gods but Death saved the suffering people, giving each soul a hundred years of immortality. With that grace, he also sent two Maidens. One of Life, for healing and comfort, and one of Death, the only person in the world with the ability to kill. Generations later, the Life Maiden is missing and Princess Deyanira is nothing more than a trained weapon. A hunter. A murderer wrenched into Death's dark court to have the name of her next victim seared onto her palm.

The plot is all over the place and covers basically anything and everything you can think of? If you’re reading this book just to be entertained without having to think too deeply about the story, you might enjoy this a lot. I like an unhinged and unpredictable plot, and I…guess this book delivered?
We do spend a lot more time in the fantasy world than the human one in this one (almost no time in the human realm actually). And I feel like if you made it through all of book one, you’re here for book two because you have to keep reading after that cliffhanger. I wouldn’t say I hated this book, because I would actually read more books set in this world (the authors have said they have more books planned) and I would re-listen to this on audiobook.
There’s going to be plot spoilers in this review. So, stop now if you don’t to read any spoilers.
*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****
Content notes include suicidal ideation, suicidal attempt, self-inflicted violence, visions of a love interest having sex with someone else, amnesia, erasing an MC’s memories, death of parents, mentions of the death of a sibling, presumed death of one of the MCs, beheadings, kidnapping, murder, torture, and abuse.
This starts off really tense considering where we left off in the first book. Those events left London pretty upset (to put it lightly). She’s extremely suicidal during this time.
Meanwhile, Knight is deeply unsympathetic to her plight and actually really awful to her for most of this book. If you’re wondering how he redeems himself…I would say he doesn’t. He’s the alpha that he’s always been and it’s kicked to the max here. Yes, London and Knight get a HEA but do I care that they get one since he never actually grovels or tries to make it up to her? Eh. This is a dark romance, but I did expect him to experience a bit more regret from how he’s treated her.
The first of many “wtf plots” is this…do you miss watching The Bachelor or reading the Selection series? This book has it. It’s so random. There’s a whole subplot where Knight rejects London as his mate and so his mother decides to throw him a whole event testing all the eligible women in the realm to find out who will be Knight’s new wife. Honestly, I’m just shocked the whole selection process doesn’t turn into an orgy considering how Knight used to love all that before he met London. No, this was rather Recency histrom and quite tame compared to my expectations.
But does that mean there’s no murder during this time? NO. This book is exceptionally violent and there’s a lot of deaths. In fact, one of the MCs gets murdered by the love interest MULTIPLE times. Immortals are hard to kill so no one is DEAD dead, but was this all necessary? I want to say no.
London finds out about her true family and history, and why she seemingly has abilities that no other human does. I don’t think the reveal is a huge surprise. But it was interesting. I can’t say I fully understand the whole “unlocking your ethos” or whatever the authors were going for where mates who finally find one another unlocks their true potential, but I’ll just go along with it. London’s now very powerful. I don’t know much about Amo Jones’ books but I will say that when London comes into herself and gains confidence, it reminds me a lot of Meagan Brandy’s heroines like Raven in the Brayshaw High books.
AND SPEAKING OF THE BRAYSHAWS. They don’t show up here. BUT. The authors decide to name drop THEMSELVES into the book when London spots a couple books on someone’s bookshelves and it’s Brayshaw High and the Elite Kings (by Amo Jones) books. It’s too on the nose and I felt like I was going to die from secondhand embarrassment. It’s just unnecessary.
I don’t think I realized London and Knight’s heights in the first book but they have an immense height difference. London is apparently 5’0” (appx. 152 cm) and Knight is 6’3” (192 cm). It’s noted multiple times how short London is in this book. Which makes you think she’d escape Knight and his brothers easier if she’s that tiny. But she doesn’t.
However, this book isn’t all doom and gloom. I think it’s quite hilarious how much they both despise their mating bond. Have we ever seen two love interests hate each other and their mating bond to this degree? A true lovers-to-enemies-and-back-to-lovers situation going on here.
One main issue I had (and there were many small issues throughout but I want to talk about this main one) is the amnesia subplot. Was that needed? I feel like that’s a common question I have for this book. I thought my audiobook was having a glitch. Chapter 14 is almost an entire copy and paste from a chapter in the previous book and I was so baffled for the first few minutes. I think there were better ways to write and convey all that? The amnesia plot was interesting but the way it all got resolved was less so. Just a projection of her actually memories inside a magical cave? PLEASE.
Then we get to the naming of things in this book. We have Yemon, some disorder in the universe when a royal (in this case, Knight) rejects his mating bond. The name is fine if you’re reading the text but I was so confused in audiobook because it’s definitely just pronounced like the actual country Yemen. A brother called Legend is suddenly “Ledg” at the end of the book when no one called him that before (that I can remember).
And we have a place called Exile Island, which, you guessed it. Where creatures are sent into exile. The island is quite packed and they’ve got a real LOST (the tv show) situation there. We do gain a new character and female best friend for London, which she did need. The new character’s name is Haide and I look forward to her book! She sounds fun. It looks like she’s going to be with Legend but you know, I wouldn’t mind throwing Silver (one of Knight’s best friends) in that too and having a polyam situation. I do wonder about her having so much freedom to travel back and forth between the island and out of it, because has she really never left before? I’m confused how that works.
The real elephant in the room, or a dragon, if you will…is London’s best friend Ben. Look. Knight murdered him at the end for book one. I think it would’ve made more sense if he stayed gone. But then we wind up finding out in this book he’s a DRAGON now? Maybe if the lore was that he was always a dragon shifter and when he got killed, being a dragon saved his life but now he’s stuck in this form. Like, that would make more sense than whatever happened here. He was human, Knight somehow made Ben into a dragon after he killed him, and now he’s just permanent stuck in dragon form and can never be human again? PLEASE. I need this to be fixed in future books. I hate it. Let him be human again.
It was curious to me that London barely mentioned her uncle, who is her guardian, in this book. We do get that tread wrapped up at the end when he suddenly makes a very short appearance, but there should’ve been more about the man who raised her and who would be very worried about what happened to her.
I have questions about how the royalty thing works in this family, because yeah I can kind of see how being the first to find a mate would supersede the order the heirs were born and that person would be the new king. But why are they suddenly ALL deemed kings in this book? I like that the brothers are close, but come on.
The audiobook was enjoyable. I would say I just have the same issue here like I did with the first book. The narrators, Teddy Hamilton and Aubrey Vincent, canNOT agree on how to say Stygian. They both pronounce it differently, and I’m leaning more towards Teddy Hamilton having the correct pronunciation for the word over Aubrey Vincent.
The ending of this book felt very Meagan Brandy to me, or at least with how all the stuff got wrapped up with London and Knight after he realizes he’s actually in love with her. But I’m going to have to read some Amo Jones after this to learn more about her writing style and books and see what sticks out to me with which parts are by which author. I enjoyed the ending and as unhinged as these two books have been, I would 100% read more books from them set in this world.
Got a little weird, but I would read more
