Strange Hymn
Strange Hymn | Laura Thalassa
17 posts | 36 read | 2 reading | 9 to read
Siren and soulmate to the King of Night, Callypso Lillis survived the clutches of Karnon, the mad king, and his twisted prison. But the nightmare isn't over. Callie wears the physical reminders of her time as a captive, and mounting evidence suggests the Thief of Souls is still out there. When a fae celebration thrusts Callie and her mate, Desmond Flynn, into the Kingdom of Flora, they take their investigation with them. But under the bright lights and striking blooms of the realm, they find there are more immediate issues to deal with. No place is more uniquely savage than the great fae halls, and no amount of bargains can save Callie from royal intrigues. Fairies play dangerous games. Some want love, some want vengeance, some want flesh, and some want things too unspeakable to utter. One thing is for sure: no one is who they appear to be. Not even Des, who only grows more enigmatic with every passing secret. But the Kingdom of Flora has its own secrets, from bleeding trees to branded slaves and missing guards. Something is stirring in the land of all that grows, and if Callie isn't careful, it will claim everything and everyone she loves-and her along with it.

This is book 2 in the Bargainer series and it was so very good. Yes, it does end in a cliffhanger but the next book is available. This was a book club book for #firereadingwitchqueens. They are actually reading book 1 so I decided to continue the series. Glad I did. #romantsy #bookspin #springread #mayreadinglist @TheAromaofBooks

I enjoyed this book so much more than the previous one! Callie and Desmond‘s romance really kicks into gear, and I liked the magical kingdom that Thalassa has created. Reading the first installment was worth it, as it led to this one.

“Before there were plants, before there were animals, before there was even light there was darkness. From that darkness, all of our deepest desires and most secret fears were born. And I know all of yours. Perhaps I should share them...“

“Only in the shadows and dark spaces do we find out truest wishes and deepest desires. Only in the night do we let go of our civility and loosen the ties that bind us during the day. Only then do we reach for soft skin. Only then do we dare to dream.“

In between a pick and a so-so, the mystery of the sleeping soldiers has me intrigued. I keep going back and forth between liking Callie and wishing the siren came out more.

I liked this book, probably more than the first one in the series because you see a lot more of the world of faerie in this one, we travel to different kingdoms and lands and see the other rulers. These books are good, fun, easy reads between my other, more intense reads. 😹

This was a little more of an emotional rollercoaster than the last book, but just as delicious. I felt like even more questions presented themselves. 🤯 I can only hope that when the 3rd book comes out I will have my answers or SO HELP ME!!!! 😡 Unfortunately I can't say anymore without spoilers... Sorry. 🤐
