| Flesh and Fire Book 2 |
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book two in her Flesh and Fire series…
The only one who can save Sera now is the one she spent her life planning to kill.
The truth about Sera’s plan is out, shattering the fragile trust forged between her and Nyktos. Surrounded by those distrustful of her, all Sera has is her duty. She will do anything to end Kolis, the false King of Gods, and his tyrannical rule of Iliseeum, thus stopping the threat he poses to the mortal realm.
Nyktos has a plan, though, and as they work together, the last thing they need is the undeniable, scorching passion that continues to ignite between them. Sera cannot afford to fall for the tortured Primal, not when a life no longer bound to a destiny she never wanted is more attainable than ever. But memories of their shared pleasure and unrivaled desire are a siren’s call impossible to resist.
And as Sera begins to realize that she wants to be more than a Consort in name only, the danger surrounding them intensifies. The attacks on the Shadowlands are increasing, and when Kolis summons them to Court, a whole new risk becomes apparent. The Primal power of Life is growing inside her, pushing her closer to the end of her Culling. And without Nyktos’s love—an emotion he’s incapable of feeling—she won’t survive her Ascension. That is if she even makes it to her Ascension and Kolis doesn’t get to her first. Because time is running out. For both her and the realms.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Wow! What a book! What an ending! Yet another painful cliffhanger ending but wow was getting there an adventure. I promise no spoilers because trust me, you do not want that! I love this world and this series and this is just another great installment. You do not want to miss this. So this picks up right where the last book left off. Sera and Nyktos have learned some pretty crucial information that will impact their futures forever. That is, if they can change it. Sera holds the embers of life and she will not survive by her 21st birthday which is just five months away. What can they do? Their options are limited but Nyktos refuses to let Sera die, even when she herself is willing to pay the price. As they search for answers, they must also deal with the attacks on the Shadowlands as well as preparing for the Sera's coronation to take her place as Nyktos's Consort. And like most things, that's not exactly easy either. Challenges arise at every turn whether that is from outside their people or not. Then there is Sera's own feelings. So much has changed when Nyktos learned the truth about her purpose, and though that has changed, Sera has realized just how much has changed about herself. Specifically in what she feels for Nyktos. It's a long, rough journey for the two of them. But we get to see them grow as characters and witness the love they have for one another (whether they know it or not) building bit by bit.
A lot of revelations in this one! One of my favorite things about this series is that we kind of know what happens to Sera and Nyktos thanks to Poppy's books, but at the same time we know nothing at all. Nothing about how Sera and Nyktos make it to the future where Poppy is born. Nothing about just how they survive. And from these stories, we know the path is not even close to easy. I keep guessing as I'm reading to figure out what happens and how and I'm yet to be right or proven right at the moment. Then there are the bits we know that come to fit Poppy's story later. And of course the prophecies. One day, every line of those will make complete sense. Until then, we'll just have to take some pieces.
I can't wait to see how it all unfolds I loved this book so much. Couldn't put it down. The action and romance were fantastic. I adore Nyktos and Sera. If you are following this series, this is not a book to miss!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
