The next spellbinding installment in the #1 New York Times
bestselling Immortals After Dark series .
A demon soldier of fortune . . .
Rök Kours dives into a dangerous job, only to cross swords with
the one woman who bewitched him.
A Wiccan mercenary . . .
Poppy Dyer has never let her uncontrollable magic interfere with
her work, but she can barely withstand one demon's charms.
Trapped in a terrifying lair.
If the two rivals can defeat Halloween's worst nightmares to
escape a haunted castle, can they overcome their pasts to claim a
future together?
I've been waiting for the newest addition to this series and this novella
was perfect!😍 It's also got some amazing spooky vibes with two MCs who
are trapped together in a haunted castle!
Poppy Dyer has been unable to utilize her innate powers for many years as
she thinks she's been cursed. When she's told that she might find a
solution to her problem at a haunted castle that opens only once a in few
years on a full moon Halloween night, she decides to take a chance and go
there - despite the dangers. Surprisingly, she also finds Rök Kours, a
smoke demon who seems to have come there for a purpose. But they share a
history that started on their first(and only) date which was pretty
amazing but ended abruptly when Rök was summoned away. Now they're stuck
together in this castle that's filled with dangers and nightmarish
creatures, and they need to find their way out quickly.
This was so much fun and I love novellas like these that have just the
right amount of romance and plot development! It's also quite unique when
compared to the other books in the series with the spookier vibes and
setting, but Poppy and Rök were just as amazing as the other IAD MCs -
with their witty banter and protectiveness when it comes to their mates
😆
Poppy was kickass, independent and knew exactly what she wanted. Rök was
the perfect match for her with his cockiness and humor, but he also had a
vulnerable side. Both of them bonded over their shared love for horror
movies - which was quite cute. And the tidbits + references to the
different movies and tropes made it even more enjoyable! They also took
the time to communicate and address their issues as they grew closer, so
the relationship development didn't feel rushed to me either.
The last few chapters were fantastic with Poppy becoming even more
confident as she discovers her powers(and I loved how the book title ties
into this😆). And we also get some hints about what might be coming next
which makes me soo excited to read the next book!❣️✨
