4 Stars

Deep in Sidhe, a fantasy world hidden within Ireland, Sierra and Aodhan find themselves separated, facing different challenging situations that could cost them everything…

Sierra

Sierra’s life has been upended and changed in ways she could never have imagined. But will her newfound confidence and belief in herself be enough to help her escape the clutches of evil and bring much-needed government change to Sidhe?

Aodhan

Captured by the last person he expected to become his enemy, Aodhan is faced with a choice: stay in prison and wonder what became of Sierra and his friends, or make a deal with the devil himself, which could change his life forever.

Finally the conclusion of Sierra and Aodhan story. It was interesting to see it play out. I liked some of the threads started in book one were tied up nicely. There are still some that needs to be tied up but there is a third book coming out in 2025. It will be interesting to see how everything concludes. I liked how things played out between Sierra and Aodhan. I am still upset about a character death that happened but it made sense. Doesn’t mean I have to like it. I am curious about how Sierra’s family is doing since they aren’t mentioned at all. Can’t wait for the next one.

Aodhan

Captured by the last person he expected to become his enemy, Aodhan is faced with a choice: stay in prison and wonder what became of Sierra and his friends, or make a deal with the devil himself, which could change his life forever.

There are so many twists and turns in this book to get to Aodhan and Sierra’s HEA. Fair warning there are some character arcs that will be upsetting. I am still mad about the one and want to change the outcome. This is less romance and more fantasy as Sierra and Aodhan spend most of the book apart. I am curious if Sierra ever goes back to the human world and visits her family but that is a personal want. Overall, a really good conclusion of the duet and I will definitely be picking up book 3.

4 Stars

Recent college graduate Sierra Lopez has no idea what she wants to do with her life. With a degree that’s useless on its own, Sierra decides to complete a one-year master’s program at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Alone in a new city, Sierra downloads Tinder, expecting to go on a few casual dates during her study of human aging and fragility.

But then she meets the mysterious and brooding Aodhan De Thuaidh, who doesn’t seem to be at home in Dublin either. When he’s 30 minutes late for their first date, however, Sierra writes him off as just another jerk, intending never to see him again.

Except Aodhan keeps showing up. First around campus, then at a bar, and during Sierra’s work hours at the campus library. He claims it’s just a chance they keep running into each other, which annoys Sierra to no end, but something about Aodhan just isn’t adding up…

I really enjoyed this one but didn’t realize it was a cliffhanger ending. I was so mad when I got to the end and it just ended. Can’t wait for book 2 which will be out shortly. FMC and MMC work well together once FMC was willing to let MMC in. FMC handles his secret really well and probably better than I would have. I loved the give and take between them throughout the story. I can’t wait for them to get their HEA.
