Smith & Sevier have done it again!
Chains & Reckoning adds to this series in new and exciting ways, just like Leather & Lace did before it. It delves deep into found family, generational trauma, morality, self-image, god. There’s so much. The characters grow even more than they already have, and though a couple of times I was screaming at Will (William Ellis, you idiot!) never did I feel like the characters were acting in any way other than themselves. They’re believable, wonderful, passionate, and they make mistakes, so many mistakes.
Between the heartfelt scenes that made me cry, the slow-build-up-of-dread scenes that had my nerves electric, the smutty scenes that had me panting, the brutally violent scenes that had my heart pounding…where was I?
This book is badass with heart. It’s gritty with hope. It’s angsty and brutal and intensely romantic even in the middle of a bunch of gore. I can’t recommend it enough.
And I am one-hundred percent all-in on the finale, Blaze & Glory, I am dying for it. DYING!
