Fantastic book! I loved Astral’s Bonded, but Exorci’s Touch is even better!

[Bellella Ardell · Rating 5 out of 5]

One thing I can describe this book as is... an emotional roller coaster but in the best way.
I had already read the first book but the second one takes the prize.

I fell in love with the characters and rooted for all of them. I especially loved how realistic the relationships were and how they changed throughout the story.
I have never hated an antagonist so much in my life which only makes the story better. It could hardly put it down.

The plot also carried me away. I felt sucked into the book and loved this unique world. I hope I'll get to see more of it.

All in all, I hope everyone reads this book because not all books can have the same skill of a great message. Especially being a message of love, loss, and healing.

It just keeps getting better and better. This world has so much to offer and I am in love with the characters. This was not necessarily an easy read by my goodness it was worth it. She loves him but his touch is supposed to kill her how do they get passed that? This was a page-turning roller coaster love triangle from hell. Specifically, the steamy emotional roller coaster that I fell in love with. Jesse is excellent, dangerous, and maybe a little foolish for keeping secrets but he truly loves her.

Another enthralling spicy PNR by Kimberly Ringer. Maddie is one of my favorite heroines in PNR. Smart, brave, tough, but she’s put into a weak position by circumstances beyond her control. That only makes her smarter, braver, and tougher in the end. Jesse and Maddie are a great couple, but really go through some serious baggage in this. Please check content warnings as this story gets very dark. I received an ARC and this is my honest review.

Just like all of her other books, the story pulls you in and keeps you in. It's one of those stories that makes you not want to put it down while you do the things you have to like work or cook or clean. It's not a sweet story, but it is full of real life problems while also being a paranormal story. Can't wait until the next story!

4 5🌟
This book kept me on the edge of my seat! So many plot twists!! Enjoyed the dynamic between Maddie and Jesse. I also liked that characters from the first book made an appearance. I feel the book can be read as a standalone. Has a HEA.
**Be mindful of the cintent/trigger warnings**

Such an amazing read! I was so sucked in and I was constantly trying to find the who dun it behind everything!! The slight twist that left breadcrumbs thru the whole book really made me love Jesse even more!

[Corin Dively · Rating 5 out of 5]

I get an emotional book hangover every time. These books invade your mind they don't let go until you finish it. And need more. The world of supernaturals gets more complicated, with dark twists and turns, characters you definitely wouldn't want to meet in an alley. Jesse and Maddie have a different relationship with its ups and downs, like life, it's not as simple as finding and keeping your fated mate. They have to work for it.

A Sweet and Spicy modern mythology with a dash of magic and intrigue.

The title of my review says it all... except that it was a BRILLIANT mix of mythology and magic. I cannot wait to see where this story goes in the next books!!!
