I read and blog about all kinds of books, from a Grimm fairytale to the extra Naughty.
I was not a fan of the first book Rhapsodic. I thought the writing and storytelling was wrong for me, it gave me nothing about the side characters and hardly had anything in it besides two hotties trying to do the nasty with each other. But book two, A Strange Hymn, was slightly better, so I thought there might be some hope that this series would become something good in the end.

Long ago, a village made a bargain with the devil: to ensure their prosperity, when the Slaughter Moon rises, the village must sacrifice a young man into the depths of the Devilโs Forest. Only this year, the Slaughter Moon has risen early. Bound by duty, secrets, and the love they share for one another, Mairwen, a spirited witch; Rhun, the expected saint; and Arthur, a restless outcast, will each have a role to play as the devil demands a body to fill the bargain. But the devil these friends find is not the one they expect, and the lies they uncover will turn their townโand their heartsโinside out.
In case you guys missed any post from me, hereโs a quick recap of what I posted and read in May;
Welcome, welcome to Caraval...all games must come to an end.
Twins Carys and Andreus were never destined to rule Eden. With their older brother next in line to inherit the throne, the future of the kingdom was secure. But appearancesโand rivalsโcan be deceiving. When Edenโs king and crown prince are killed by assassins, Eden desperately needs a monarch, but the line of succession is no longer clear. With a ruling council scheming to gain power, Carys and Andreus are faced with only one optionโto take part in a Trial of Succession that will determine which one of them is worthy of ruling the kingdom.
When sixteen-year-old Sylvieโs brother takes over management of their familyโs vast estates, Sylvie feels powerless to stop his abuse of the local commoners. Her dearest friend asks her to run away to the woods with him, and soon a host of other villagers join them. Together, they form their own community and fight to right the wrongs perpetrated by the king and his noblemen.
