Summary
From the desperation of golden crowns…
Casteel Da’Neer knows all too well that very few are as cunning or vicious as the Blood Queen， but no one， not even him， could’ve prepared for the staggering revelations。 The magnitude of what the Blood Queen has done is almost unthinkable。
And born of mortal flesh…
Nothing will stop Poppy from freeing her King and destroying everything the Blood Crown stands for。 With the strength of the Primal of Life’s guards behind her， and the support of the wolven， Poppy must convince the Atlantian generals to make war her way—because there can be no retreat this time。 Not if she has any hope of building a future where both kingdoms can reside in peace。
A great primal power rises…
Together， Poppy and Casteel must embrace traditions old and new to safeguard those they hold dear—to protect those who cannot defend themselves。 But war is only the beginning。 Ancient primal powers have already stirred， revealing the horror of what began eons ago。 To end what the Blood Queen has begun， Poppy might have to become what she has been prophesied to be—what she fears the most。
As the Harbinger of Death and Destruction。

I’m sorry I cannot lie here and say it was fine I’m heartbroken and angry I would give this 0 stars if I could。 Poppy cas is the main reason why I like these series but the emotional affair with keiran while her husband is captured is unacceptable don’t tell me if the roles were reversed cas wouldn’t be called a cheater。 I wouldn’t have minded the joining as much if it was just that because j can skip it over but poppy using phrases she uses for cas ， hestating when asked if she has feelings for I’m sorry I cannot lie here and say it was fine I’m heartbroken and angry I would give this 0 stars if I could。 Poppy cas is the main reason why I like these series but the emotional affair with keiran while her husband is captured is unacceptable don’t tell me if the roles were reversed cas wouldn’t be called a cheater。 I wouldn’t have minded the joining as much if it was just that because j can skip it over but poppy using phrases she uses for cas ， hestating when asked if she has feelings for keiran after three books of her spouting about how much casteel means to her， then being literal heart mates is very unexpected。 This gave poly vibes when it doesn’t not fit at this point in this series at all poppy and cas have been clarified to be a monogomaous relationship so why add someone else ？ And it honestly is unfair to keiran to at this point it feels forced and awkward。 Honestly it just feels like she fanserviced her fb group at this point。Not only that but she is uneecessarily using her powers when it can be avoided is making her less interesting to me it’s like she lost her whole character。The only part I liked was scenes with reaver and crumbs about sera and nyktos。 。。。more

I will never， never let my other friends read an author like you。 I don't want anyone to endure this torture。 We have seen how a writer can fuck himself。 Poppy is the biggest slut I've ever read。 Castel and keira， what can I say， they proved very well that they are stomachless。 I support all the readers I've read and revolted against this？？？ I will never， never let my other friends read an author like you。 I don't want anyone to endure this torture。 We have seen how a writer can fuck himself。 Poppy is the biggest slut I've ever read。 Castel and keira， what can I say， they proved very well that they are stomachless。 I support all the readers I've read and revolted against this？？？ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Yikes。 Joining and confessions （only on Poppy’s part might I add） but no confirmation they’re a throuple now？ I wish the romantic/sexual aspect also applied to Kieran and Cas to make it equal but nope。 Poly relationships， when healthy， tend to be equal。 This is just a vague mess。 Jla has such potential to make KieranReaver happen but nope everything has to be about Poppy。 Kieran deserves better :（

God， Jennifer Armentrout is a great writer but this series is just not it， and it's sad because the first two books were so good。 This was cringe all around， Casteel doesn't even have a personality anymore， he's just Poppy's hype boy。 God， Jennifer Armentrout is a great writer but this series is just not it， and it's sad because the first two books were so good。 This was cringe all around， Casteel doesn't even have a personality anymore， he's just Poppy's hype boy。 。。。more

This book is absolute trash。 The author is an idiot to have ruined her OWN characters like that and I don’t even know what happened？？ It’s like a totally different set of new characters。 I hate it and I hate her for ruining the best fantasy couple for me。 Fan service at its worst only to satiate fb moms who are unhappy with their marriage。 I’m absolutely not against poly relationships either but THESE ARE NOT THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD DO IT。 CASTEEL WOULD NEVER。 I’m fuming right now and if I could， This book is absolute trash。 The author is an idiot to have ruined her OWN characters like that and I don’t even know what happened？？ It’s like a totally different set of new characters。 I hate it and I hate her for ruining the best fantasy couple for me。 Fan service at its worst only to satiate fb moms who are unhappy with their marriage。 I’m absolutely not against poly relationships either but THESE ARE NOT THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD DO IT。 CASTEEL WOULD NEVER。 I’m fuming right now and if I could， I would give it zero stars。 Never reading her books again。 This book ended for me as a duology。 。。。more

Really？？？ Just when you think a relationship could actually be cute and pure， someone wrecked it just for the sake of fucking smut。 Sometimes， it’s better to not have than to have it。I’m so disappointed， they were so full of love in the first books and now she destroyed itJust nope nope nope

Cas is gone for some months and Poppy is in love with Kieran now。 I don't know what's worse between his wife catching feelings for his bestfriend while he's in prison for saving her， or his bestfriend catching feelings for his wife while he knows how he feels about her since they did share a bound before。 Soooo disappointing。 It felt like they weren't even in character。 Poppy developing feelings for Kieran while Cas is gone？ How come she love them both？ I'm sure that if something happens she wil Cas is gone for some months and Poppy is in love with Kieran now。 I don't know what's worse between his wife catching feelings for his bestfriend while he's in prison for saving her， or his bestfriend catching feelings for his wife while he knows how he feels about her since they did share a bound before。 Soooo disappointing。 It felt like they weren't even in character。 Poppy developing feelings for Kieran while Cas is gone？ How come she love them both？ I'm sure that if something happens she will chose Kieran over Cas since she only talked about him in first place over Cas。 Is this the praised woman character you love and enjoy reading？ Where did Cas's possessiveness go？ The fact that Cas went as a background character in his own book to Kieran being main。。。 Even in the last two books Kieran was hinted to want Poppy in a sexual way while her being married to his best friend。 It felt like that the Joining only happened to please some fans wanting it。 Overall it was a big no for me and the last book I read from JLA。 Demolishing the characters just to please a certain group or the book to sell better。。。 I hope it erases from my memory。 Yikes！+also when they rescued Cas Poppy was all thinking about Kieran？？ I was about to throw up 。。。more
