Publisher’s Summary

You were once the bane of my existence … and now, you are the center of it.

Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers. Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark’s seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms. Worse, her fellow rulers haven’t ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla’s midst who don’t believe her ascent to power was earned.

As certain death races toward Lightlark and secrets from the past begin to unravel, Isla must weigh her responsibility to her people against the whims of the most dangerous traitor of all: her heart

My Review

Finishing Nightbane: “Wait, what? NO WAYYYYYY. NOOOO!!”

“Lightlark & Nightbane” is the series that gave me hope that maybe I can continue to find good fantasy series after ACOTAR. I enjoyed Nightbane way more than Lightlark, and that tells you something because Lightlark was a 5-star review. Nightbane had plot, character arc, flashbacks, and the twists at the end will leave you flabbergasted. I loved it all, especially Oro; this man is GOLD, see what I did there? Grim was eh for me… #teamOro. I’m scared Oro is just a side ploy, and in the third book, he’s going to end up giving up on her so Isla can be “happy”. I want Isla and Oro to end up together; forget the Grumpy, can’t communicate Grim.

Book Quotes

Every time I see you, I think the gods must play favorites. Every time you’re near me, I am overcome with the urge to bed you, to have you, again and again. I want to devour every inch of you, until you’re all I taste, until you are shaking with pleasure in my arms. That is what I want.
― Alex Aster, Nightbane

Please,” he said, sounding pained. “Please, tell me you want this.” He waited for her to nod. He traced her body with his eyes and said, “I know if I touch you again it will kill me . . . but I think I might die if I don’t.
