About this deal
I know, why complain about too many new books - I DON'T, I can't get enough of JLA and this world. But I don't like to being forced. I said what I said.
Because she carries the Embers in her, Nyktos is trying his hardest to keep her safe (also, because he really likes her and he likes her sexy body), keep her alive until he can figure out a way to remove the Embers without harming her and without her loosing her life if she Ascends. HOWEVER, the end of Chapter 28 and Chapter 29 left me in tears. I was screaming (on the inside) and pleading that whatever it was Sera walked in on was NOT at all what she truly believed. Her losing control was heartbreaking and filled me with so much sorrow. Are you fu#king kidding me with this ending right now?! ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐?! ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐#๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐?!! ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ. ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ. ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ง๐. ๐๐ง๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก๐ฒ. ๐๐ก๐๐ญ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ. Okay so, I'm still feeling a little off kilter since my hiatus ended, so I'll try my best to express my love for this book properly. But I know this won't be one of signature review full of long detailed paragraphs of everything that i adored in this book. It will be more of a generalization of how I feel and less of a descriptive review of this amazing story. Sera walks in while Veses is on Ash's lap and feeding from his throat. She assumes two things: 1. He lied about everything and has had relations with others and 2. They were having sex. Both are wrong and it takes quite some time for that to be revealed. (Around chapter 39)

Before we go any further, a reminder once again, this review will contain major spoilers from book one, so please don't read past this point!!
Also, my other issue with this book is that it seemed the plot was going in circles sometimes and unlike book one, this was more repetitive. And similar to the world-building issue, I'm trying to word this correctly, but there shouldn't be as many new reveals especially as we're heading towards the end of Flesh and Fire and Blood and Ash series because I'm trying to connect the dots and I'm struggling.
About this book
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 attain please, when sera realized she was in love with nyk, i was in tears ๐ญ and oh my god when he sensed her love but didnโt know what it meantโ also, I WAS SO PISSED THAT ALLES BETRAYED THEM!!! i was starting to vibe with his flirtatious and he goes and kidnaps sera and turns her over to kolis ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ The romance could be described as a slow burn when it comes to admitting their feelings and talking about them, but it was not that slow when it came to sex. As in the From Blood and Ash series, there is quite a lot of smut, but contrary to the last 2 books of the FBAA series where it was just ridiculous at times how they couldnโt refrain from having sex in inappropriate moments, itโs not as bad in this book. Sera and Nyktos are obviously attracted to each other and there is great sexual chemistry between them, but while they are horny for each other, they can remain levelheaded and donโt always think about having sex with each other, and I liked that about their couple. I do love good smut, but there is a time and a place for it.
Also, the way JLA handled, and portrayed anxiety was spot on for me. I really appreciated the way it was written and never looked down upon as a weakness.i canโt even begin to express how upset i was when it was revealed that nyk removed his kardia (the part of his soul that allows him to love). this means he canโt love sera like she loves him ๐ญ i understand why he removed it but god it hurt so bad to realize he couldnโt return seraโs feelings I do think it would be cool if the final book of both stories involved Sera and Poppy and dual POV with Ash and Casteel as well. That would just be an epic conclusion.
