Book Review: Court of Anguish

 

There are many things that go bump in the night, and I am one of them.

I was born to lead my people. As a succubus, sex, power, and revelry are what I trade in… until all that is all taken away from me.

Our home, our sanctuary, is invaded and desecrated by men we trusted, and our people are chained and claimed, including me.

I play their game, swallowing the cost, until they try to kill me. Now, all bets are off, but if I want to reclaim what is rightfully mine and free my people, then I will need help.

I never expected assistance to come in the form of rejected monsters, ones people have turned their backs on for millennia, but I know all about suffering and evil, and I won’t let them deny me the use of their powers. I will claim these monsters as my own and use them to save the people I love, no matter the cost.

Welcome to the Court of Anguish, where pain guides vengeance.

My Review

Talk about an opening. I barely started reading and just a few pages in the action already is happening. Eldara is thrust into a new world that she never could have imagined. As the story processed, she found her voice and strength again. By the end of the story, she had risen to become the queen she always was meant to be.

The MMCs are Frost, Corbin, Bellami, Luan, and Eversor. I loved all of them. Eversor and Eldara's relationship is a little different from the other guys. A more tortured one, which kind of drew me to him a little more because it was different. Yes, I also was drawn to Frost as he was the first introduced in the story.

K.A. is an amazing storyteller. You will get instantly swept into this story and world. Additionally, I dare you not to fall in love with Eldara and her MMCs. They are the type of men that I would want by my side. This book is a top read for me.
