Summary
Once， I was a broke college student。 Now， it seems I'm destined to rule as the Lightbringer--queen of the demon realm。 Except I have competition in the form of Orion， the Lord of Chaos。 Like me， he has been marked as a leader。 We can't keep our hands off each other， even if he swore an oath to kill me。
It seems we both want the same thing--the crown。 And in this battle of wills， only one of us will be left standing。

Rowan and Orion are back。 They have more hate and love for one another than can be described。 They have one journey through Hell and I mean that in several ways。 This was a great continuation and I can’t wait to see what happens in book 3！

Holy COW！ C。N。 Crawford has done it again with a absolutely spellbinding， action packed adventure！！ Be warned this review may contain spoilers for book 1！Book 2 starts off shortly after the end of book 1 （thank goodness after that crazy ending right？） with Rowan stuck outside the City of Thorns after being banished by Orion。 The action picks up almost immediately and doesn't stop until the very last few pages。 I swear I can never find a good place for a break in these books and end up reading th Holy COW！ C。N。 Crawford has done it again with a absolutely spellbinding， action packed adventure！！ Be warned this review may contain spoilers for book 1！Book 2 starts off shortly after the end of book 1 （thank goodness after that crazy ending right？） with Rowan stuck outside the City of Thorns after being banished by Orion。 The action picks up almost immediately and doesn't stop until the very last few pages。 I swear I can never find a good place for a break in these books and end up reading them all in one sitting！ I absolutely loved the storyline of this book， I don't want to spoil anything but DAMN the things that went on in this book were incredible！！ And of course the chemistry between Orion and Rowan continues to be SIZZLING！！ Their whole love-hate relationship is one of my favorites and I am always left wondering if they are going to fight or have sex！ I cannot get enough of either of them！！I don't want to spoil anything about the ending but HOLY COW REALLY？！？！ Did we have to end that way？！？！ I am DYING for book 3 now and cannot wait to see what happens next！！ 。。。more

An exciting continuationBook 2 in the Demon Queen Trials was an exciting continuation from book 1。 It was a non stop adventure， from start to finish， thoroughly compelling and almost impossible to put down。 There's plenty of action， lots of heat， both literally and figuratively， mysteries unwound and numerous betrayals。 Can't wait for Rowan to kick some more butt in the next one。 😊😍 An exciting continuationBook 2 in the Demon Queen Trials was an exciting continuation from book 1。 It was a non stop adventure， from start to finish， thoroughly compelling and almost impossible to put down。 There's plenty of action， lots of heat， both literally and figuratively， mysteries unwound and numerous betrayals。 Can't wait for Rowan to kick some more butt in the next one。 😊😍 。。。more

Good sequel to the series！ I really enjoyed it！ I honestly thought the plot was headed in a different direction but so glad it didn’t。 I liked Tammuz hope we see more of him in the next book and hope we get to see more into Orion’s past as well， that would be interesting。 I liked the character development from Rowan too and hope to see more of it in the next book！ Can’t wait for the next book in the series！

Lord of Embers” is the second book in the “Demon Queen Trials”。 This book is so good the characters are so well developed I feel like they could step right out of the pages。 The revelations are incredibly intense as Rowan finds out exactly what we is and works towards achieving her destiny。 Rowan finally learns so many truths and suffers so many trials to become who she is meant to be。 What will she do with this knowledge？ What will become of the heated desire between Rowan and Orion？ this book Lord of Embers” is the second book in the “Demon Queen Trials”。 This book is so good the characters are so well developed I feel like they could step right out of the pages。 The revelations are incredibly intense as Rowan finds out exactly what we is and works towards achieving her destiny。 Rowan finally learns so many truths and suffers so many trials to become who she is meant to be。 What will she do with this knowledge？ What will become of the heated desire between Rowan and Orion？ this book is so well written and the plot just burns through the pages making me wish for more even as it ends。 I am dying for book three！！！ This is absolutely a must read the plot the tantalizing twists and turns。 Just wow if you have not read the series you really need to start。 Absolutely amazingly awesome！！！！ Will Orion burn down the world or will Rowan and Orion burn down each other？？ Read it and find out its a blazing good read！！ 。。。more

I love the intensity of C。N Crawford books。 The book is incredibly well written。 The questions surrounding who Rowan really is are answered in book 2 but there is so much more to learn。 What will happen between Rowan and Orion when certain facts come to light？ When one secret is revealed you find there are so many more waiting to be exposed。 I can't wait to read the conclusion to this series。 There are so many variables， who knows what will happen？ I love the intensity of C。N Crawford books。 The book is incredibly well written。 The questions surrounding who Rowan really is are answered in book 2 but there is so much more to learn。 What will happen between Rowan and Orion when certain facts come to light？ When one secret is revealed you find there are so many more waiting to be exposed。 I can't wait to read the conclusion to this series。 There are so many variables， who knows what will happen？ 。。。more

This book was not what I expected—but it was so much better！ When we last saw Rowan， she had recently discovered her demon powers and， more importantly， that she had the mark of Lucifer。 Mortana also had this mark， so its presence meant not only was she destined to wear the demon crown， but it is more likely that she WAS Mortana。 The problem is that Orion also has the mark， and he wants to be King so he can seek revenge on everyone， including her。 So， City of Thorns ended with Rowan hiding in th This book was not what I expected—but it was so much better！ When we last saw Rowan， she had recently discovered her demon powers and， more importantly， that she had the mark of Lucifer。 Mortana also had this mark， so its presence meant not only was she destined to wear the demon crown， but it is more likely that she WAS Mortana。 The problem is that Orion also has the mark， and he wants to be King so he can seek revenge on everyone， including her。 So， City of Thorns ended with Rowan hiding in the mortal city， attempting to avoid Orion。 But due to a series of unfortunate events at the beginning of this book， Rowan ends up back in the demon city and encounters Orion。 They are forced to team together to determine how to kill the false King。 Along the way， many things are revealed， including exactly who Rowan IS to Mortana。 But nothing is easy， of course， and new roadblocks develop。 I really enjoyed having the addition of Orion’s point of view in this installment。 It furthered the development of his character and helped me understand why he is so motivated to be King。 But part of me still wants to whack him on the head and say get over it。 As to Rowan， I loved seeing her grow in her powers， and I can’t wait for the big confrontation that we know is coming in the next book。 I have confidence in C。N。 Crawford that she will find the way to a happily ever after for Rowan and Orion， but it is going to be a bumpy road！ 。。。more

What a roller coaster of a book！ I laughed， cringed， got a little angry and cheered！ I love the MCs so much even when I’m angry at them！ I loved Book 2 and can’t wait for number 3 although I am absolutely not ready for the series to be completed。

I received an ARC for an honest review。 Guys！ GUYS！ If you loved City of Thorns， you are going to go crazy for Lord of Embers！ Rowan is a freaking badass。 BAD。 ASS。 You get to see her grow and come into her own in this book。 Her development is amazing and done in a way that it seems natural unlike in other books I've read。 Orion at times makes my heart melt and others times I want to strangle him slowly。 I love the chapters where we get his point of view as it helps us get into his mind and see I received an ARC for an honest review。 Guys！ GUYS！ If you loved City of Thorns， you are going to go crazy for Lord of Embers！ Rowan is a freaking badass。 BAD。 ASS。 You get to see her grow and come into her own in this book。 Her development is amazing and done in a way that it seems natural unlike in other books I've read。 Orion at times makes my heart melt and others times I want to strangle him slowly。 I love the chapters where we get his point of view as it helps us get into his mind and see his motivations， whether we agree with his conclusions or not。 You can gradually see Orion starting to question himself more and while I'm screaming at him in my head， I can't stay too mad at him for his decisions because it becomes clearer in this book what is guiding him。 His story is still shrouded in mystery， which I both love and hate， but I can't wait until we get the full picture。 In terms of world building， we are pretty much still dealing with the City of Thorns and Osborne。 Initially we find Rowan back in Osborne where she has been banished。 Her demon powers slowly diminishing the longer she is kept from the City of Thorns。 Rowan is still searching for answers about her mother's death， and knows that the answers are just in reach， if only she can convince Orion she is who she says she is。 Orion is still very much bent on killing the king and will do anything and go through anyone to get what he wants。 Although he feels a pull to Rowan/Mortana， he will use her if it means that he gets revenge。 Overall， this book was amazing。 Maybe not as much action as in the first one， but I still couldn't put it down。 I both dread and can't wait for the next book to come out since I don't want this adventure to end。 。。。more

I was really looking forward to where this second book was going to go and it did not disappoint！ I’m loving the character development of Rowan and feel like she is becoming more of her own person。 She’s facing her demons whether she wants to or not。 I’m loving the confidence she is getting and the interactions between her and Orion are *chefs kiss*。 This book finishes with a satisfying ending that still leaves you counting down the days until the next one！

Wow！ What can I say other than wow！！！ This second installment was fantastic！ So much banter between Orion & Rowan。 The tensions were high in this one - with Orion not believing Rowan & Rowan just trying to figure out who/what she is。What will happen？ Can the blood oath be broken？ Can Rowan learn her past？ Can they survive？ Chaos will ensue。
