Thank you so much Shannon R. Lir for sending me this ARC!
Synopsis:
Ensnare the enemy.
Guard your heart.
After the Daemon King’s betrayal, Sersa Scáth never wants to see Sin Drumghoul again, let alone hear his sullied name. At least, that’s the lie she clings to in hopes it will become true—all while drowning in memories of him that feel like a lifetime ago.
But even after three moons apart, Sersa is blinded by anger and sees no way to defuse the emotion that’s altered her magic indefinitely. To make matters worse, Jestin Drumghoul is out for blood and vengeance for the Old King’s murder, and his main target isn’t Sin. It’s her.
In the Soullanders’ eyes, murdering the king is Sersa’s claim to the throne—a claim Sin would kill for her to accept. He wants nothing more than for her to rule beside him, even if it means baring the ugly secrets he’s concealed to win her back. But Jestin isn’t the only one who has other plans for her…
Giving Sin a second chance to not only prove his love but also repair Sersa’s trust in him isn’t easy, and her ice-cold heart is in danger of shattering before it ever truly thaws. But secrecy isn’t just for kings, and Sersa finds herself questioning illusion versus reality once again. Failing to decipher between the two might just tear she and Sin apart once and for all—if their enemies don’t do it first.
Review & thoughts:
These Hearts We Shatter is the second book in an adult fantasy romance series Reign of Soulless and if you enjoy books with enemies to lovers romance, stabby FMC, morally grey characters and haven’t read book 1 yet, you definitely need to start this series ASAP, it’s so good!
I finished this book a few days ago and I’m still speechless as I’m trying to write this review. I loved the first book, This Deceit of Ours, when I read it as soon as it was published last October and I’ve been impatiently waiting to read this sequel. I had huge expectations for the second part of Sersa and Sin’s story and wow, this book exceeded all of them, it’s even better than the first book and I absolutely loved it. After what happened at the end of book 1, I had a few predictions as to what could happen next and while I was right in some cases, there are so many plot twists, betrayals and secrets here I was constantly on the edge of my seat and had no idea what to expect to happen next. This book was perfectly paced with a lot of action happening and some mind-blowing revelations, but also so many amazing moments with our main characters. I was expecting a lot of groveling from Sin and am really satisfied with how it turned out, despite everything that happened he and Sersa are incredible together and I just loved reading about their relationship, there were some knife to throat scenes, but also many vulnerable moments and of course spicy ones, there is much more spice in this book compared to the first and I was all for it. Sersa and Sin are quickly becoming one of my favorite bookish couples, they are perfect for each other and I’m already missing them and waiting for the next part of their story.
These Hearts We Shatter is an amazing sequel to This Deceit of Ours, I love this series and already can’t wait for the next book! While this cliffhanger is not as bad as the last one, with everything that happened in the last few chapters book 3 can’t come soon enough!
