In the thrilling conclusion of the duology set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Serpent & Dove series by Shelby Mahurin, a vampire and the woman who tried to kill him prove that true love can conquer anything, even Death. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Mass. Célie’s life is over. She took her final breath trying to save the people she loves—including the powerful and enigmatic vampire king, Michal, who refused to let her go. When Célie wakes, she cannot walk in the sun; she can hear her friends’ heartbeats and she craves their blood. Michal has cursed her to the eternal existence of a vampire. But Célie isn’t the only dead roaming the earth. Her sister, Filippa, has returned as a shadow of her former self, and other revenants are rising from their graves intent on revenge. The fragile balance between life and death has broken, awakening an even darker force—and he is coming for Célie, ready to claim her as his Bride. With the fate of their world at stake, Célie and Michal must set aside their searing attraction to mend the veil and right the balance, once and for all.

    DNF.
    Such a shame. I liked the first book and was looking forward to the second one, but it's super underwhelming, unfortunately.
    I was expecting some development in the FMC, but alas, she seems to be stagnant. I also expected their relationship with Michal to grow, but it's a tiny fraction of the book, and we are forced to deal with her memories of her sister, her goddamn mother and her ex-fiancé (I was hoping we got rid of him for good in book 1). So, after about 38% I found myself completely unwilling to pick it up again.
