We’ve all done things we regret in a moment of desperation, but declaring myself Queen of Night takes the cake, especially when I didn’t actually mean it. Sit on the Throne of Hell, commanding—and controlling—thousands of demons who have a bid going on my head? No thank you. I’ll pass.
Except I’m not sure I can. Without a ruler, Hell has gone to, well, hell. The demons are growing restless, and it won’t take long before one decides to do something drastic—and fatal, not just for me but for all of humanity.
As if preventing the world from imploding wasn’t enough, the group of vampires trying to destroy Lucas strike with a vengeance, and they’ve teamed up with a very unlikely alley. They’re determined to not only hurt me, but all of witchkind by exposing us to the world.
They should have known better than to try and cross me twice. Throw me to the wolves and I’ll come back leading the pack.
I’ve stepped away from this series for a while. I think part of the reason I did was it seemed like Callie and Lucas spent more time having sex than anything else truly moving the series along. However, picking up this seventh book after some time away has been refreshing. I’ve enjoyed Callie and Lucas’ relationship as they deal with pending parenthood and all the supernatural drama that encompasses their lives.
With Callie declaring herself the Queen of Hell, she has to figure out a way to get Lucifer to take up the reigns again while fighting off those that wish to take her out. It’s a lot for a pregnant woman to deal with, on top of impending parenthood. But Callie manages to handle all of this with her wit and calmness. Lucas steps in when he needs to, saving Callie from herself, and helping her do what she needs to do (which is one of the things I love the most about their relationship).
Despite a few run-ins with the Martins, the real action of this book happens in the last 10%. It’s quick and ends with a big cliffhanger. Luckily I have book 8 on my Kindle so we’ll see how this book sets up the last book of the series coming out in a few weeks.
