After devouring Nectar of the Wicked, I jumped straight into Wrath of the Damned. I absolutely could not get enough of Tullia and Florian. We definitely see a softer side to him in this sequel, but he’s far from tame - touch what is his and it’ll be the last thing you do! It’s safe to say he’s still the anti-hero we love!
There’s lots of twists and turns in this one that keep you on your toes, and of course the heat is STEAMING!! The Winter King sure does know how to bring it, and his butterfly is not afraid to get what she wants either.
I’m really hoping there will be a spin off to this series, as there are stories I definitely think can be told, though for spoilers-sake I’ll not say who I want more from.
The Deadly Divine series is a wickedly addictive duo that you’ll not want to put down, and will leave you craving more!

This picks up right where the first book ended. There’s very little recap (which I am grateful for) and it sets up to conclude the plot threads woven in the first book.
I felt like this book moved much slower than the first one. In the beginning I appreciated that as Tullia is recovering from torture but as it progresses to the “action” points I found it a little tedious to get through. I was surprised by the twist and thought Arvin’s redemption arc was decently done, even if I personally wouldn’t have been as forgiving as Tullia.
The chemistry between the leads was still just as enjoyable as it was in the first book and watching Tullia come into her own was well done. I appreciated the author for not making her a fantasy typically badass. Tullia’s character is not a “fighter” but rather a people person. She goes through the basics to learn how to defend herself but for the most part sticks to utilizing her magic and becoming more politically savvy as the book progresses. She’s not a badass fantasy heroine but she is a really enjoyable character to read and her journey of healing and self discovery was really well done.
