Reviews with content warning for Death - Rise of a Queen: Special Edition Print

It was okay.

Jonathan is pretty much the same as Aiden, just with more power. And Aurora is pretty much like every other FMC in this series. Maybe a bit stronger, just as immature 😅
That was it, I guess, it felt like I was reading another dark romance with teenagers as the main characters, only they were full adults this time.

The smut was mediocre, way too much spanking and a pretty bland first anal.
The story was quite predictable, but that's always the case. And I really didn't see the plot twist coming, so that's good.

What can I say? It was okay, I'll continue reading this series and these books remain at least entertaining so... here we go again.

This one just took me forever to read. I'm unsure if it was where I was getting ready to go on vacation, struggled to get interested in the first book of the duology, or just this book in general. Still, it just took me forever to read it. I really wanted more from the story, especially after the build-up that the first book started. But I think it just fell flat for me. It was really steamy, and I believe the steam took over the book to the point where the ending revealed and wrapped up everything too fast. I wish we had focused more on what was happening than Aurora and Jonathon. Plus, this one also fell into the miscommunication trope, and that's just one that tends to drive me bananas rather than actually work for me lately.

How... How can Rina write a better book than the other and in a duet? How??

Almost the entire book is full of spoilers, so I will keep the review short.

Jonathan is still possessive, only now he wants to protect Aurora from anyone, including herself. Aurora breaks through his cold and hard facade, and changes him
into better. Not by much, but she did it. And that was seen when she needed him, and he was always there to offer his love in his own way.

One thing I really liked about Aurora was that she made both Jonathan and Aiden have a better relationship with each other. And as I said in a previous review, Aurora is the perfect match for Jonathan.
