This book pretty much picks up after the prior book. Larisa finds herself once again in Kingsnake's presence. She can tell herself all the lies she wants and give Kingsnake rules but in the end, she can't resist him. She is like a moth drawn to a flame.

These two's relationship is evolving into something deeper. I saw some growth from Larisa but not a great amount. I will agree with some of the other readers that she could have been stronger but really who could blame her when it comes to Kingsnake.

In this book, we also get to know Kingsnake's brother, King Cobra better. Who I like this addition and his love interest Clara. I was looking for a new dark, fantasy series to sink my teeth into (pun intended). I look forward to continuing this series. Although, I may have to do so in audio format as I really enjoyed the narrators, Ramona Master and Michael Ferraiuolo. ( )
