Poetic Review - The Phantom by Gena Showalter

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter returns with The Phantom, the third book in her pulse-pounding Rise of the Warlords series, featuring a vengeful harpy and a callous torture master locked in a battle to the death. 

As the son of a war god, Roux Pyroesis has suffered unending pain—he’s caused it, too, dispatching his foes with alarming ease. Now he’s tasked with cutting out the heart of a powerful queen who rules an ancient prison realm inhabited by the most vicious immortal females in existence.

Blythe the Undoing is a decorated harpy warrior determined to annihilate Roux, the invader who killed her beloved consort. Nothing will stop her. Even if she must trap herself for eternity by sneaking into the brutal realm and taking the crown, pitting herself against the merciless male she’s sworn to despise.

Having never known desire, Roux is ill prepared for the stunning beauty who challenges him at every turn. For the survival of his army, duty comes first. Always. But what happens when the flames of Blythe’s hatred burn out and she craves him, too…but only one of them can live?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As they say, time flies, and it is a great measure

That we can now read the third book in this series.

As with the previous ones, it is again a treasure

To return to the world of our beloved Astra and harpies.


Moreover, we have already met the main protagonists,

So we know how far they are from an HEA at the beginning.

If, somehow, you wouldn't like the enemies-to-lovers thematic,

This book will definitely show you what you’ve been missing.


Despite that, I wouldn’t even say this one is a slow-burn story,

Because some pages are full of passion – and that’s before they kiss.

But, if all the inner struggles wouldn’t be enough, do not worry,

There is plenty of battles to fight, a tournament and a task shouldn’t go amiss.


It may be even a record, countless bodies, heads and intestines fell,

And it is again proven, that nothing is more important than the heart.

It is not just because of the feelings, but to understand this well,

You just have to read the book, Gena Showalter’s latest work of art.

Poetic Review - Legacy of Temptation by Larissa Ione

Eva Tennant, like everyone at The Aegis, hates demons. But she loves her job as Deputy Spokesperson for the global demon-slaying organization, and she’s excited to be in the running for Chief Spokesper-son. All she has to do is not screw up the two-week exchange program with The Aegis’s rival agency, the Demon Activity Response Team.
