“This is but a herald of the trials that await.”
Deep inside the Bone Men cult, Penny and Kit have passed the point of turning back. If they want to survive, they have to make it through the remaining six Oaths of initiation, each one more twisted than the last.
Kit works quietly, piecing together a plan to bring the cult down from the inside, but nothing about it is simple. Not with Penny’s brother watching their every move, doing everything he can to make sure they fail.
With danger now lurking around every corner, Penny can’t help but wonder if finishing what they started is worth the cost. If they keep going, they might not make it out whole.
They may not make it out at all.
REVIEW:
I thought I am going to be so happy being back wit Kit and Pen, and I was, for a few blissful chapters before the authors deepened the
plot significantly and gosh those twists were equal parts heart stopping and equal parts heartbreaking.
CJ Tuma and Quinn Cameron are not playing around any more people. The soft cozy vibes give way to the darker underbelly of consequences this world they’ve built comes with and more than once we see Kit revisit those and though Penny’s sunshine bratty self stays pretty much intact he is in no way unscathed.
We see a lot more of Kit’s past informing his world view, perceptions and hesitations come to light, we see Penny facing some challenges that ultimately could have felled him but he is a resilient one. We also get to see Kit heal a bit, be more authentic, open trusting and build a stronger bond with Penny. Things are getting serious on the romantic front
On the other side two further challenges lead to a perilous adventure and be prepared for loss and tears and keep snot tissues handy.
Merry and Violette incited violence in me. Levitt I kind of want to hug, does he get a story dear authors? Rosie I wanted to give her a hug. Reimond andThoma 🥺.
I think the only other thing I would personally want is a touch faster pacing, maybe more urgency in certain ace serious conveyed through the writing but that’s really nitpicking and I absolutely loved loveeeed the book.
If you haven’t started this amazing medievalesque fantasy I highly recommend you do. I can’t wait for book 3.
