Thank you so much L.L. Campbell and Book of Matches Media for this ARC!
Synopsis:
A Shadowborn Prince of Hel and a feared, all-powerful Trickster Witch will learn once again that not everything is as it seems in this second installment of the Tricky Magic series.
Travel to Hel with this steamy dark romance that has all your favorite things: Shadow play, supernaturals, loveable characters, and some tricky magic.
Rosier, crown prince and commander of Hel’s four armies, has been desperately avoiding his destiny as a ruler. When his father kidnaps Ellea, the Trickster Witch who gave him something worth living for, he has no choice but to return home. He must leave the comfort of his secluded life to journey to Hel—a path that is full of monsters, beasts, and terrible memories.
Nothing will stand in his way of saving Ellea—not his father, not Hel, and not the Gods. The funny thing is, he will be reminded once again that she never needed saving.
Ellea never saw herself stowed away in a castle, surrounded by the dead, sleeping Gods, and demons. While navigating her powers with her captor and newfound friend, she realizes that Hel itself needs work. She misses Ros every second they’re apart, but she can’t shake the feeling that she is exactly where she belongs.
A string of attacks will disrupt Ros and Ellea’s magical and steamy reunion. Only Ellea can stop her parents from ruining the balance between mortals and supernaturals, but she may have to give up a piece of her soul to do it.
Tricky Princess is a dark paranormal and mythological romance that contains detailed sex scenes, violence, swearing, and emotional trauma.
Review & thoughts:
Tricky Princess is the second book in Tricky Magic series by L.L. Campbell and holy shit, I loved book 1 but this sequel is even better!
Tricky Princess begins exactly where Tricky Magic ended, with Ellea in Hel and Ros being unable to get to her because of some magic keeping him out of Hel. Ros doesn’t have great memories about his time there and, understandably, is really worried about her and goes with his friends on a rescue mission… but Ellea once again proves how strong she is and shouldn’t be underestimated. She makes the whole realm her home and makes new friends (I laughed at Daddy Azzy so many times 😂). But our main characters have many enemies, both new and old, and will need to find each other so they can face them together.
This series has the most amazing characters! Ellea, Ros, Billy, Garm, Sam, Devon… I love them all, they are just one big happy family (love the found family trope and it’s amazing here) and I’m always so happy to read about them and all the trouble they always get themselves into. I must say even Azzy stole my heart in this book, all his scenes with Ellea and Ros were just perfect, I found myself laughing so many times but also crying, especially later in the book. Of course, we also see the relationship between Ellea and Ros grow and these two are as crazy but adorable as ever and, as always, the spicy scenes are *chef’s kiss*. Tricky Princess has not a single boring moment, there is so much action and some battle scenes, especially near the end. There is also quite a lot of politics, I loved seeing how everything in hell works.
I love this series, Tricky Princess is everything I hoped for in a sequel and even more! There isn’t a horrible cliffhanger (love you for it Lexi) but I so can’t wait for the next book in this series, I just know it’s going to be amazing!
