5 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

He’d looked at her like she was extraordinary and beautiful, and made of all the things she knew she wasn’t.

I think I'm going to need 10 working days to recover from this book.

City of Souls and Sinners is the anticipated second installment in the House of Devils series and you can expect more action, more chilling twists, it gets darker and grittier, and you certainly can expect a steamy romance that is written beautifully.

It was a long book but I've savored every page and was wholly immersed into the world of Angelthene. Seems like the author vowed not to give her readers a moment's rest because you won't have any.

I'm so proud of Loren's growth in this book and I know she might not be a conventional heroine to some as she is vulnerable and not a warrior-type of character, but something about her just makes her seem like a kindred spirit. She's written as a character who is wholly good but also has her own flaws, which I appreciate.

Darien Cassel... and here I thought I have fallen hard for him already but damn... fictional men like him are the reason why people think I have such high standards when it comes to my love life.

The romance in this book is on a whole another level and what Darien and Loren have is something so, so precious!

The lore and world-building is fleshed out more and I'm really liking where this is heading even if it's descendin into a darker path.

I'm also so delighted to see the secondary characters get their moments of spotlight (as they should). There's also another couple I'm rooting for HARD.

This book shredded my emotions and glued them back to shred them all over again. I highly advise you to store some ice cream and chocolate for this because you'll need it.

I want to take these characters away from the author and keep them under my protection because WHAT THE HELL?

But I also would like to thank the author for gifting me an eARC of this emotionally-draining book.
