I love that I get to follow my two favorite love birds into the next book. Definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and giggling to myself in public. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I’ve had two pages fall out while simply turning the page. Not roughly or anything. They just popped right out as I turned the page. I know it’s not the authors fault though, so on to the next book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong Middle Novel *by T***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2022* A Strange Hymn picks up right where Rhapsodic left off, following Callie and Desmond as they continue to try to solve the mystery of the sleeping female soldiers and their children. While it’s a solid book, it has all the markings of a typical middle installment, including a cliffhanger meant to keep you interested enough to pick up the third book.There is a lot I love about this series. I adore Callie and Temper’s friendship, and the strength they each possess. Des is the perfect dark romantic lead, and the fact that he is a winged male fae just adds to that (apparently I have a type). The villain isn’t obvious, which I also liked, as it came as a surprise when I neared the end. However, there is a part of me that wishes I knew more about the friendlier side character, like Malaki or any Aetherial. They pass in and out of Callie’s orbit quickly and add so little to the story. I feel like there’s a missed opportunity there.I also found I’m not a fan of modern slang in first person narration. While I get that as the reader we are inside Callie’s head, at times it took me out of the story a bit. IIt felt more like sitting with a friend at a bar listening to her talk then it did reading a novel. This is purely personal preference, but this style of writing is not my favorite.Overall though, I enjoyed the book. It’s spicy, there is growth in the main characters, and the plot moves along at a good pace. I will definitely be reading the remainder of the series. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Darker, Dirtier and even more Delicious. *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 10, 2019* Darker, Dirtier and even more Delicious.***Our relationship was forged on bloodshed and solidified through deception. I am the dark creature that craves sex and destruction, and he is the king of it. ***In Rhapsodic we had flashbacks to a teenage Callie and how she and the Bargainer built a bond together. But A Strange Hymm is all set in the present and since there are no children about anymore it gives the author free ranges to delve into some more sinfully delightful debauchery with the adult all the time Callie.Desmond, “He tastes like fairy wine and dirty thoughts.” Flynn is in fantastic form. He might be mostly sweet to Callie unless he is being delightfully wicked but he is King of Night and enemies beware he can and will be brutal.Callie is dealing with the changes forced on her by Karnon in Rhapsodic. While some would be so happy to have wings and wouldn’t mind so much the beautiful scales on her forarms that lead to some talons she is struggling a bit with it.***“Rather than making lemonade out of lemons, I’m pretty much cutting open those lemons and squeezing them into my eyes.” ***There was a very small period of time in the story where I wanted to slap her and tell her to get over it. I mean WINGS…Hello embrace the change. Des loves them so her insecurities don’t last long.Temperance who we only got a little taste of in the last book really shines in this one. Every girl should have such a devoted friend that they would blast their way into Faery to get you. I really loved seeing Callie with her bestie especially since we follow them to the Solstice celebration in the land of Flora and with a Queen who has never met a woman she didn’t want to try to demean and subjugate. Plus, in the land of Flora humans are still treated as slaves and since both Callie and Temperance are human it is going to be a bumpy ride.Don’t forget though we still have sleeping women, creepy children and missing male soldiers and this plot line is going to get us a little closer to the Thief of Souls and what his end game might be.A Strange Hymm was darker than the first book of the series just because the Fae are a bit cruel in nature and get them all together that is bound to come out in spades. I loved the progress we made on the main plot of the series and it is creepy indeed.Callie, once she got over her initial pity party is fantastic and Des…well Des I want to sweep away to be my own Nightmare. I get so caught up in them as a couple, I love the way they trade secrets for beads and play truth or dare. The growth of their relationship is captivating and I love being in a world where Desmond can make a bargain with the stars so they spend an evening in Callie’s hair. Sure it is a love story first and a mystery second but it is the best of both worlds.***“You were everything I never knew I wanted. You were chaos. You were desperation. You were the most mysterious secret I’d ever come across. Everything about you drew me in—your innocence, your vulnerability, hell, even your tragic life. You were the most captivating creature I’d ever come across.” ***This was a fantastic follow-up to Rhapsodic. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/66715550-a-strange-hymn-the-bargainer-book-2](https://www.desertcart.us/products/66715550-a-strange-hymn-the-bargainer-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
