For Readers of: Adult, Audio, Body Diversity, Catchy Title, Contemporary, Fantasy, Sparkly Cover, Most Anticipated, RomanceAn oracle who can see the future teams up with the far-too-hot demon from her past to avert catastrophe, in this steamy paranormal romance from the USA Today bestselling author of Zomromcom.
Gwen Wexloff might be able to see the future, but not when it matters. Her visions invariably involve piddling issues, which means—unlike most oracles—she’s spent her life predicting for everyday humans instead of international power brokers. After a clutch of brain-slurping zombies escapes from their walled-off compound, though, Gwen experiences the first genuinely world-altering vision of her life . . . and now she needs help.
Unfortunately, that help comes from Hugh Blacke, the same starchy (but annoyingly cute) demon who watched her bomb her oracle verification test years ago. To Gwen’s dismay, the two of them will need to work together to unravel the deadly conspiracy behind the zombie breach, despite their complicated past and the secrets they’re keeping.
Even with her newfound power, she couldn’t have foreseen how quickly they’d both want more than a simple partnership. But the clock is ticking—and with the fate of humanity at stake, Gwen and Hugh will have to decide how much they’re willing to risk for an unexpected, passionate love…and a future together that might prove very short indeed.
*MY THOUGHTS*
This was a weird one. I was anticipating this one as soon as I closed the first one. I even put it off because I was waiting on everyone else to say what they thought first. And then they did…. And the reviews were so mixed I knew I just had to read it for myself. And of course, I sit firmly in the middle lol
I think the reason I didn’t love this like I did the first one was because they weren’t doing anything. It was like aa long road trip. Idk, there was no action and sense of urgency like in the first one. This one they were too lax until the end. I thought it was because I am not a fan of the creature who’s responsible in this one, but nope. Other people felt the same way I did. Idk, the plot of this just didn’t keep me engaged. That is until the ending. When it finally got to the end things started happening and it was so much better. But I do think it should have been paced out better.
The characters were ok. I mean I didn’t feel like anything about either one of them stuck out to me. And tbh, I thought she was a bit boring. You’re a pregnant oracle and you’re still not able to really see anything? Even my intuition got stronger when I was pregnant, and I’m human lol The demon was ok, but I thought that was to be expected…. I mean he’s a demon lol And I loved that the trolls were back. I wish they could get like a novella or something lol I loved seeing all the things they were eating. I think it would be hilarious to have a short story or something about that.
The romance was cute. They liked each other from the beginning. But when she was embarrassed in front of him, I was bowing down to her. Because there is no way I could willingly set out to go find him again. I remember thinking “more power to the people of the world” because I would not be talking to him just to save everyone lol Personally my embarrassment burns bright. I also had to remember there was a baby already a few times lol But I thought it was ok.
The whole time I was reading this I was thinking about how much I loved the first one. I think my expectations were too high. I will say I still want to more, so I will be waiting forever to find out who and what this last one is going to be about. I really need it to be like the first one lol
Overall, I give this
