I absolutely loved this second book in this series, which is a spin off from the Lords of Discord series and as such has appearances by our friends the Variks as well as our favorite witch coven members.
Book one introduces the Chines vampire clan who had come to Connecticut in order to save their kidnapped clan mate once the door to the fae realm opened as it does every 100 years. Yichen has now been rescued but he is blood bonded to his elf protector. Rae, the elf crown prince needs to kill his father the king and mother the queen in order to protect the human realm and get all the fae back through the door and into their own realm. He is completely in love with Yichen it he knows there is no way they can ever be together.
This is an enemies to allies to friends to lovers story between a vampire and an elf. It’s also a found family story. The trajectory of this slow burn relationship is heartwrenching. But it’s also sweet and inspiring. I was completely sucked in and read the whole thing in one sitting (and am now writing this at 4:40 am!)
A shocking turn of events gives us a sneak peek of book three. The overarching story continues as in this book, like in book one, part of the problem is resolved but there’s still more to come. You really need to read these books in order.
