Publisher's summary

Willa Knight: Dweller? Bad-ass? Notorious pet to five magical beings? In Blesswood, there are rules, and someone is trying to teach her how to follow them. The only problem is Willa. Which shouldn’t be anything new, since she has been a problem since birth — something her pseudo-sister Emmy would agree on. So it definitely shouldn’t be new, but it is. Because things are starting to happen that have never happened before. Things are starting to get chaotic.

Hooked on these books

The narrator is amazing the way she reads the story to you. I catch myself laughing out loud. I put my ear buds in and close my eyes and I'm in a whole other world. I just can't get enough.

A little too much tension

I’m really enjoying this series. There’s a lot of humour and a lot of love flying around, though maybe the unsatisfied sexual tension is starting to grate a little. If I were to give it a rating like movies and tv shows, this would definitely be PG. I sincerely hope it matures soon.

The only regret I have is not waiting until the entire series is complete before starting it.

VM changed a couple of her character voices this time. She has given Yale a gruff, gravelly voice while Cohen’s has become a little lighter in pitch.

Main character annoying

The story line is great but the main character is annoying. It seems like was purposefully dense and though the story is good it gets frustrating.

Narration might be lacking but the story is worthy

I loved the first book and was pumped to see the second one came out. I only wish they got someone who sounded a little more mature.

The Abcurse brother’s voices are too gruff.

The Abcurse brother’s voices are too gruff. They just don’t sound like gorgeous gods. The narrator needs to stop trying to make her voice so low.

Light hearted and Playful

Persuasion reads like an Adam Sandler movie of Fantasy novels. Take that how you'd like. Its funny and playful.

But... yes there is a but... there is a point where Willa's character goes from being cute to an annoying dimwitted dumdum who is as sharp as a balling ball. And for those who don't know - Bowling balls aren't sharp at all. I mean I understand she isn't Einstein but dang... can she have at least one meaningful thought. She is our lead character but she didn't grow/develop at all in this book.

And if there is going to be an all out brother orgy then let's get to it already. The dragging out of the sexual tension gets annoying. Every five minutes of the book we are almost about to get ready to do it but not really. That was hard to read, right. My point exactly. The story of the Gods really intrigues me but we can't get into the deep stuff because our lead character is so shallow.

What I hope for book 3 is some character development for Willa and the brothers. Then let's delve into the world of the Gods and get more insight on what's really happening.

Great fun

It's fun, pure escapism, but not as much development until quite late (the ending is excellent), compared to Trickery. The first in the series, I enjoyed much more, but will keep reading. Great fun.
