Six Scorched Roses

Product Information

Raihn- One fit to be called king. He has two different roles- to be a leader to his subjects which requires him to make tough decisions and present an equally tough exterior; also to be a husband to not only a queen but his lover while desperately trying to make things up with her. I really liked how balanced his two sides were. He was so smitten by Oraya, and he actually shows that in his actions. To die, rather than killing you?” he said quietly. “Yes. That would have been worth it. Even I had to draw a line somewhere. And you’re the line, Oraya.” Raihn goddamn, this man istg. In my review of The Serpent and the Wings of Night I said that after that ending he better GROVEL AND BEG for Oraya and I got SERVED with my request. Let me touch you,” he rasped. And Goddess, yes, he was begging, every word desperate. “Let me feel you. Even though I don’t deserve you. Please.”

Because that name was all those things, wasn't it? Raihn. My downfall and my most valuable supporter. My weakness and my strength. My worst enemy and the greatest love I had ever known." Desperate to find a cure, Lilith strikes a bargain with the only thing the gods hate more than her village: a vampire, Vale. She offers him six roses in exchange for six vials of vampire blood—the one hope for her town's salvation. i can't wait for Mische's story (i think it's almost guaranteed that it's gonna be Mische's? and I NEED IT gimme gimme gimme) I wanted to capture him like rainwater. I wanted to savor him like blood. I wanted him to open me and touch everything within me that I’d hidden away from the world.

So I choked out, “Raihn,” against his lips, a question, an answer, a plea. Because that name was all those things, wasn’t it? Raihn. My downfall and my most valuable supporter. My weakness and my strength. My worst enemy and the greatest love I had ever known. The action sequences were breathtaking. I was in complete awe with the way it was written and they were such powerful scenes. I could not put the book down towards the end. It was so intense, I got goosebumps.

I loved the romance between Oraya and Raihn, they fought for each other and understood each other. The chemistry and sexual tension was amazing! The slow burn was so good and I loved their banter. There were so many steamy scenes that had me blushing and smiling! if the 379614 highlights on my kindle say anything, it's that i loved this so much. all the characters were so beautifully fleshed out, and i daresay i loved this even more than book one? the way all the plot lines came together? wonderful. and my fave part of this - the love of my life, Vincent's story. it broke my heart and healed me in ways i cannot explain but i just need his story asapp idc. 😭 i highly highly recommend this entire duet, because the writing, the characters, the plot and VINCENT my love are what made this so different from other fantasies. 💗 i enjoyed oraya's character more in this one (she kind of glowed up throughout the story, yay!), all of the characters, actually--they felt remarkably multifaceted, which i think is where carissa shines. the world building was decent, even if the settings are lovely, but her characters are funny, likable, and still complex. He brags to everyone that he's a great actor, doesn't forget to tease the hell out of Oraya for never being able to hide her expressions and then the people of his court burst his oscar dreams.Desperate to find a cure, Lilith strikes a bargain with the only thing the gods hate even more than her village: a vampire, Vale. She offers him six roses in exchange for six vials of vampire blood–the one hope for her town’s salvation. We'll rip apart the worlds that subjugated both of us, and from the ashes we'll build something new. They argued and bantered like they did in the last book and their romance was angsty and emotional but they also fought side by side against the bloodborns. I was so torn up on what I should rate this book but eventually I settled on four stars because I personally felt like this one was just so dragged out and unnecessarily long, I couldn't help but feel extremely bored throughout some of the bits. And i was also mostly skimming somewhere in the middle because of all the political and warfare talks but maybe thats just my lazy ass 🥲🤚🏼 I was everything I was meant to be. My father’s daughter. Victim and protégée. Greatest love and ruination.
