Paedyn and Kai battle with duty and desire in this highly anticipated second installment in the sizzling and epic romantic fantasy trilogy that’s packed with spicy tension and edge-of-your-seat betrayal.

The kingdom of Ilya is in turmoil…

After surviving the Purging Trials, Ordinary-born Paedyn Gray has killed the King and kickstarted a Resistance throughout the land. Now she’s running from the one person she had wanted to run to.

Kai Azer is now Ilya’s Enforcer, loyal to his brother Kitt, the new King. He has vowed to find Paedyn and bring her to justice.

Across the deadly Scorches, and deep into the hostile city of Dor, Kai pursues the one person he wishes he didn’t have to. But in a city without Elites, the balance between the hunter and hunted shifts—and the battle between duty and desire is deadly.

This book is crazy. The narration is amazing and the story has you on the edge of your seat the entire book. Every time you think you know what’s going to happen they pull a 180 on you and it will leave you speechless. Read it.

Leaving my actual review on goodreads, but in case someone wants to know, the audio vs the book are different. Someone else mentioned it in their comment, so I started following along and rerealized this with the forst and the second one. They occasionally leave out words, which is fine, but other times they completely change a scene. Example from the first book, the book explains her fight with blair and how she didn't get her band taken, the audio however says "the b got my band". Another one, pae waits for a healer to leave so she can escape in the book, but the audio has her knock him out and escaping with his body slumped behind her. It continues in this one, changing the days things happened, or how many times someone said something, even went as far as to changing someones name from meredith to madeline, annoyingly. Overall, I love the books and the audio was great, but I could never relax with it, if that makes sense, I was constantly waiting for the next change to be read over in my earbuds, which was unfortunate when working, because I couldn't just listen, I had to carry around my book. Which, I don't mind, I switch between physical books and audio one's, I just had to buy it twice to finish them. Anyway, hope this helps someone else.

I can’t believe the romantic tension and finally two REAL characters who completely pull your heart! The narrators are amazing! I can make myself wait for book three because it can’t possibly end like this!!!! My critique would be that the author really knows how to write about love but not brotherly! For the guy whose supposed to be the most kind king ever Kitt is a complete A-hole to his brother!!!!!

Killed me it’s so go!

Such a great storyline and use of poetry. The authors wordplay is so clever. Made me fall in love with the characters

In love

I loved it, not as much as powerless, solely because there was more tension and action in powerless than reckless. But it was still SOOOOO good

I love the story so much, but don’t read it until the third book comes out . I am warning you now you will thank yourself for it. 

Amazing

Hate and betrayal turns an achingly slow love story tortuous and sweet. And the ending…. heart wrenching.

Amazing!

I actually really enjoyed the way the book is divided up between Kitt, Kai, Paedyn. The voice acting was wonderful and the way Kai and his inner poet come across are truly lovely. I’ll probably listen again and bookmark my favorite passages. I also had a moment where I cried from Paedyn’s POV. Overall a wonderful audiobook.

This book was SO good. Things I was disappointed about last book were made up in this one! Also, gotta admit, I was not expecting the box which has me DYING for the next book! Although most of the book was character building there are some very important bits in this book. Also, LOVE the narrators for the characters, they each do an amazing job.

Cannot wait for book 3 D:
