I don't <i>think</i> I'm fine.
I cannot stop sobbing.
I'm <i>really, really</i> not fine.
Ansel, you with your innocence, your bravery and your capacity for endless compassion stole away my heart and then you ripped it to shreds. You made me fall in love with you and then ...left. How am I supposed to survive now?
Gilles, I only knew you for a scant few sentences, but you still nocked an arrow straight into my heart and shattered it into pieces.
I know I'm waxing poetic and it might even be a bit weird to do so about fictional characters. ( Who am I kidding!! It's fricking weird!! ) I don't care. I feel what I feel and anyone who reads this book would agree with me. Probably.

NO SPOILERS! As thrilling as it was it shattered me. As much as I loved every character in the book no one goes unscathe in a battle. Lives are lost and this book depicted that,however all have their own opinion of this book, if they wish not to continue with the book because of the last scene I completely understand that.The last scene made the emotions felt more real sadly but nonetheless I enjoyed it. Ends in a cliffhanger so be ready with the last book.

As fugitives from the Dames Blanches, Church and Crown, they must find a way to defeat Morgane by locating other witches or supernatural beings to assist them. When the friends must part ways because Reid is not welcome by Coco's family the Dames Rough and he must seek the werewolves separately, troubles within the group deepen. Lack of communication causes a rift between Reid and Lou and as they go their separate ways that rift only widens. Lou cannot understand why Reid will not see beyond her magic to the woman he says he loves and stop trying to change her and Reid cannot reconcile the Lou that he fell in love with the drastically altered woman before him who is violent and dangerously irrational. But the one thing he takes issue with is the fact she continues to lie to him about her past.
As their enemies close in on every side will they succeed in vanquishing Morgane once and for all or will they even survive the coming battle? One thing is certain – the fight ahead of them will leave earth-shattering consequences for all involved and ones that no magic can reverse.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. This instalment is much darker and the ending broke my heart. Even though these beloved characters have changed considerably and in unexpected ways, I still feel drawn to them. The escalating tension to the showdown with Morgane was thrilling but I found the interpersonal conflicts and connections to be even more compelling. I recommend tissues.

In this sequel we see Lou, Reid and Co navigating the consequences from the end of Serpent & Dove whilst trying to anticipate an attack from La Dame Des Sorcieres.

What I really liked about this book was how we got to see more of the world and the magical creatures that inhabit it. There were lot of new and interesting characters introduced along the way. And that cliffhanger... Wow! I did predict it with some of the earlier foreshadowing but, my gods, it still hit hard!
I also experienced a first whilst reading this book as I took part in an Interactive Art Read-A-Long through A Touch of Magic Designs on IG. This included five mystery prints labelled with a corresponding chapter. It depicted the scene beautifully and helped to bring the characters to life. It also had me rushing to read on to reach the next print. This read-a-long is a big part of why this review is 4 stars instead of 3.

"She wore secrets like armour, and she shed them for no one... "

Now, I loved Serpent & Dove and I was abolsutely hooked on it. I feel Blood & Honey just fell short of that. It honestly felt like Lou and Reid were strangers - that original spark was missing. The story between those two felt repetitive in this book and not fresh like in S&D. It felt like this was a 'filler' book before getting to the Finale. I'm a sucker for romance and theirs just seemed to dwindle. I'm hoping to see a revival in book 3.
