#BookReview: Ruthless Gods (Something Dark and Holy #2) by Emily A. Duncan


Synopsis: The stunning sequel to instant New York Times bestseller, Wicked Saints!

Darkness never works alone...

Nadya doesn’t trust her magic anymore. Serefin is fighting off a voice in his head that doesn’t belong to him. Malachiasz is at war with who--and what--he’s become. 

As their group is continually torn apart, the girl, the prince, and the monster find their fates irrevocably intertwined. They’re pieces on a board, being orchestrated by someone… or something. The voices that Serefin hears in the darkness, the ones that Nadya believes are her gods, the ones that Malachiasz is desperate to meet—those voices want a stake in the world, and they refuse to stay quiet any longer.

In her dramatic follow-up to Wicked Saints, the first book in her Something Dark and Holy trilogy, Emily A. Duncan paints a Gothic, icy world where shadows whisper, and no one is who they seem, with a shocking ending that will leave you breathless.

My Review: I was one of the people that really didn't care for book one.  This one though hit it out of the park!!  I loved it!! The writing was so much better and the story flowed so much more!!  I still had issues connecting with the characters as a whole however, it is getting better.  I feel like the author is really getting into the groove of how to tell/show a story and its showing in the writing.  The ending to this one will devastate you to no end.  And man I can't believe that I got this done so soon.  Since this one isn't out until April 2010!!  (this was reviewed on Sept. 2019 so feel my pain when I need the next title and have to wait almost 2 years for it).
