⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. The Skye Druids are still holding strong, even with all the underhanded scheming by their various enemies.

He’s a secret wrapped in sin—power in every step, temptation in every breath. He moves through danger like it belongs to him. I should be afraid. Instead, I ache. Everything around us is a threat, but the moment he touches me, the fear disappears. His mouth is a promise. His body a weapon. And I don’t know which one will break me first. I tell myself this is survival—that the heat between us is just adrenaline, a temporary madness. But when he looks at me like I’m the only thing that matters, the truth cuts deep. This isn’t madness. It’s obsession. Need. And it’s already too late to stop. He’s my temptation. The mistake I’ll make again and again.

MY THOUGHTS

Thank heavens, there’s always plenty of introductions and some kind of recap of events whenever a new person makes their way to the Skye Druids. I needed that to be up to speed again.

The action and intrigue started out fast and fierce. Rowen and Mason had a very intense first meeting and they operated on pure adrenaline for a while. But after they had a chance to settle down, those scared and stressful feelings had morphed into an equally intense attraction. Rowen had a difficult path to discovering her purpose and accepting the bond with Mason. It felt like she had just started to tap into the true potential of her magic and I do hope that she, and the other Druids, will get a chance to fully display their impressive power. Mason had a very heartwarming reunion with his sister and friend, and he thrived on Skye once he was done with pretending.

With this book, another piece was slowly added to the convoluted conundrum facing the Druids. While Mason and Rowen have found love, and the Druids are enjoying a small respite after some nail-biting battles, we are far from any kind of resolution. There were some vague hints as to what might be coming, and I am eagerly anticipating an epic showdown somewhere down the line.

Kiss of Skye is book 8 in the Skye Druids series and I definitely recommend that you read the series in order, otherwise you will miss too much world building. If you can, read some of the other books that all form part of this interconnected Dark World.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
