Let’s take a high level trip down memory lane to set the scene.
After A Dance Macabre, I was counting down the days until I could dive into the city of Pravitia again. I didn’t think I would ever get enough. I needed to know everything about Gemini ASAP.
Fast forward a bit and I find out that Gemini is going to Spike coded. Naturally, I start foaming at the mouth.
Fast forward AGAIN && Naomi releases character art. By this point, I know I’m done for and in love with yet another set of fictional characters.
But THENNNN. THENNNNN Naomi blesses their pätrèon with a sneak peak of a certain sketch and the scream that I scrumpt were heard across the lands.
Okay.. you following me so far? (Wow, I just love you for coming on this journey with me.)
Ok okok.. All that rambling to make sure you know that my expectations were set VERY high for this book. And to no one’s shock or surprise, Naomi delivered. I read this book front to back without stopping for air.
Gemini and Veil are so dang captivating. I ate up every detail about them. I’m such a sucker for all things Gemini. Don’t get me wrong, he is so fully unhinged, but I still found myself swooning for him every step of the way. Despite being the servant of trickery, he was always so genuine to his true self. Veil on the other hand had to work so hard to figure out who her true self was. I adored watching her come into and embrace her power and give into her desires. Their chemistry was a journey filled with hot as sin tension and y’all already KNOW that Naomi throws down in the side department.
Everything about this book delivered.
