City of Ruin

You ever get into a series and get the second book and don't read it right away because you want to make is last?... no? Just me? Well I did that lol and now I want a third!!! It has an amazing world and I love that the main character is a bad ass and not one of those clueless ones that has you yelling at the book. Love love love!

Great book I could not put down, the ending killed me waiting for the third book to come out :)

These books are amazing! Great story, plot and characters. Also spice but sweet spice. Highly recommend this series if you like fantasy romance!

A-maz-ing! Absolutely amazing! This book completely consumed me. I can't stop thinking about it. Alexus and Raina are the couple of the year. Bonds, space, and time can't keep them apart.This book earned a 5 star from me before I was even finished with it. It met all of my criteria! I laughed. I cried. I screamed. The ending has a major cliffhanger that leaves you feeling stressed out and eager for the next book! (release March 28th, 2023) And I can't wait for it.Spice: 4🔥Looking for a new fantasy book boyfriend? Alexus is the man!Multiple POV's. More than just Raina and Alexus this time.The middle of the map in the book is completely cut off because of the pages meeting the binding. Which sucks because you can't see Winterhold or anything.Can we all just take a moment to appreciate sign language used in this book? I mean I've never seen this in a book before. It creates awareness for those who can't speak and includes reality in these amazing novels. Not to mention, I love language barriers in books.Spice early on.There are flames on the front of this book for a reason! 🔥Alexus needs saving quite often. But the magic in this story is amazing! And it's so well written, I can nearly see it."You bow to no one"I. CAN'T. GET. ENOUGH. OF. THIS. It is too good, I'm addicted.Alexus refused to stop fighting for their love. No matter how much she hated him and broke his heart over and over. He's the man we all want and desire.This book has so much diversity! Very refreshing. Like with Colden and the prince, Zahira and Yaz. And Callan. And of course, Raina.My heart broke in this book. And it was restored. I feel the vengence that the characters feel. The writing and plot is fantastic and leaves you craving for more more more!Gods Charissa, I need the third book now!Below are my *SPOILER* thoughts and reactions at the end of each day reading through the book:11%: Oh, no you don't little prince! Think you can take my powerful witch collector?! I don't think so! Nuh uh. No sir. I won't have it. I had s feeling that Fleurie was Fury. Sounds so similar. And this is Alexus' first love?! Will she go against him? Wait, does Alexus know her father is Thamaos? Hold up, you mean to tell me that a God can be held back by salt? Weird.31%: Oh poor Finn. He's so hurt and confused. I do hope he comes to terms with it all though. And hopefully doesn't rebel and go against them.What the... some of these guys can teleport??This certainly isn't some simple plot. It's very intricately written and complicated.46%: "That's my girl" OOH! so good! I actually giggled when she found the second note outside. I love these two so much!I don't think Neri is all that bad. I could be wrong though. But i want to trust him. Wow. Already up to 4 🔥Alexus is my new book boyfriend.62%: The key necklace means something and I don't think it's good.Oh i love Rhonin! He's so damn cute! I love him more and more.I keep laughing and smiling!W.t.f. gravil is evil. Omg no! She hates him. And i cried. At least Finn didn't die.And the God knife was hers all along! I'm assuming that's why they left Malgros. I want to know what her dad's dream was though.Ooh! Nephele POV!89%: I like kind of Joran. Idk why but I do. I don't trust him.And I have thulis feeling like something horrible is going to happen.I HATE THIS! I hate that she doesn't feel the same anymore. That the bond has been nearly severed. It sucks!Wait. Maybe Joran has been possessed by someone or something. That's why he's different. And why Nephele feels wrongness. And how he can do so much magic and know so much. Maybe he's not all good... a traitor? What if it's Neri?Raina can teleport! What a badass!I f***ing knew it! IT'S NERI! I still like him. and I trust him.Thank the gods she's loving him again! But Alexus had a dream of them making love near the ruins of an ancient city... that means something.Nephele... girl you better set good ground rules with Neri. I really want a POV of Helena and Rhonin. Or hell, a whole book!"You bow to no one" 😍 Their bond is back!!! 😭🥰😭🥰Complete: Why do I get the feeling that Fleurie knows who Raina is? And does she fear her rage above everyone else's? She can see the future? WHAT DID SHE SEE??Oh gods, did the prince take Finn? Is that why she can't see him?Wait. I'm very confused. Why were they screaming at her? I don't get it.The willows... from the dream?What the actual f***!

I had lots of expectation with City of Ruin maybe too much. It was a nice read to escape reality.I preferred the second part of the book: more magic, more actions... And my favorite part of the book was when everything went bad for the characters.I thought I would connect more with Alexus and Raina, I thought their relation ship was a bit "too easy"but then there was an explanation for it.There were great tension between the characters: Raina and Alexus and most of all Neri and Nephele. It made me smile several times. I need more of Nephele and NeriI would have loved a pov with Hel.I don’t know what it means about me but I loved that ending! I think it’s so promising for the next books. I can’t wait to read it !
