'A God of Death & Rest' by K.M. Moronova

February 1, 2023

Blurb:

Tomorrow is as ugly as it is beautiful.

I’ve suffered for six months at Violet’s hand. She’s been collecting my blood and keeping it in her dungeon. She demands to know where Lucius is, but there’s one problem. I’m not Talia and I have no idea where he is.
Things are changing. She’s assigned me a new guard and as much as we don’t get along, we’re drawn to one another. Uncovering secrets that will help save the Rhythm and hopefully our friends too.

Break the bond. Find Lucius. Restore the Rhythm.

February 28th,2023: I received my E-Book copy for an ARC read.

March 1st. 2023: I started reading this, and holy cow, the start is as beautiful as it is a heartbreaking reminder of what they all went through in the first book. The further you read, the more it hurts, and the more you began to solidify your hatred of certain characters and the way you find so much love within new ones. Kianna has a way of taking a single action and engraving it within your heart.

Note: I have been listening to a playlist on Spotify called 'Dark Academia Classical' while reading which makes all of it so much more heart-wrenching.

March 4th, 2023: The amount of crying, and scowling I have done in the process of reading this is unreal, the way she has taken hold of my emotions and magically directs them through the words she writes is unfair. I have fallen into a pit of despair alongside Eliodie, here we will wallow and love until the light of Tomorrow fades into obscurity.

March 5th, 2023: Oh my bleeding heart, what have you done to me, Kianna?! You have successfully ruined me in a way I never thought possible. Still, I am loving everything about this story, and I am eager to see where you take us!

- ... That ending is just... why would you do that to him? To her! To all of us! Kianna!!!! What have you done?!

I would like to add more I really would but everything flitting around my mind right now is complete spoilers and I want everyone to go into this blind so they can feel the binding emotions that bloom into raw pain. So, all I will say is this, Elodie is beautiful, even in her darkest moments I would follow her. Rune is pure and their relationship is one that I am happy to re-read over and over again. Violet, though I desire to punch her in the face my heart bleeds for her in a strange way.

Please do yourself a favor and read this when it releases on March 18th, 2023 you will not regret it!
