Blood So Brutal (Golden City, #2)
Emily Blackwood
Huntyr knew better than to trust anyone. She made it into The Golden City, only to find out that everything she dreamed of is gone. There is no safety, no luxury, no elite society. There's only the evil archangel and his dark, twisted plans to use her for power. Those plans include marrying Huntyr and Wolf, even though she'd rather die than be wed to him. Huntyr is forced to learn about her real heritage and her untapped magic while she's paraded around The Golden City as the archangel's new favorite weapon. Wolf can do nothing but watch as she's manipulated and toyed with, but one thing hasn't changed: He'll never let anyone else lay a hand on what's his. Even if she despises him. Betrayal runs deep, but blood runs deeper. Huntyr and Wolf navigate tests of loyalty and new truths as they're faced with the downfall of one power and the rise of another. Families break. Friendships rise. Do they have what it takes to survive? And are they strong enough to right the wrongs from decades ago? Blood So Brutal is book 2 of the Huntyr x Wolf duet in the Golden City series. After inflicting two books of trauma onto these characters, there will be a happy ending.

"Blood so Brutal" concludes its trilogy with a disappointing ending, feeling more like a rushed final draft than a polished finale. The author relies heavily on telling rather than showing, diminishing the immersive quality that fans of the series have come to expect. The most significant question of the series is resolved in a single, off-scene sentence, leaving readers feeling cheated out of a satisfying resolution.
The male main character (MMC) undergoes a troubling transformation, embodying everything he once despised. His treatment of the female main character (FMC) is particularly troubling. He becomes overly protective, disregarding her opinions and views. This shift in dynamic undermines her character's development and autonomy. The MMC consistently violates her boundaries, assuming he knows what's best for her, which is both frustrating and disheartening.
Overall, "Blood so Brutal" falls short of its potential, leaving readers with an unsatisfactory conclusion to what began as a promising series. The rushed pacing, lack of depth, and problematic character arcs make this a disappointing finale.

I really liked the first book but this one was disappointing
How many times can you betray someone and ask them to trust you and how many times CAN you be betrayed by the same person and trust them again ???
A lot apparently.
Maybe they should try communicating next time. I skipped many dialogues because it was almost painful
Also how could Huntyr be soooooo blind about the true intentions of this character even if it was
