The Penitent Blurb

A cruel fate. Two souls condemned. An impossible love.
I knew he’d choose me before he came to our door on the night of the Tithing. I bore the mark that would make me his.
It was my ancestor who spoke the words that bound us together, and his demon-god who promised protection for the price of blood.
My blood.
I was prepared to be that sacrifice if it would keep my family safe.
Loving Azrael? The thought never crossed my mind. He was and would forever be my enemy.
He’s not the only monster coming for me, though, and somehow, it’s in Azrael’s arms I feel the safest.
But I need to be careful with him. I need to guard my heart because if I don’t, he is sure to destroy me.


MY REVIEW


Willow and Azrael's story picks up right where the cliffhanger left us in The Tithing, and the pace never once lets up. The curse is showing up in big ways, and Azrael will have choices to make - believe what's evidenced about certain people, choose his wife, or continue along the same path and lose everything and everyone.

Once again, Willow is the standout in her story. She comes into her own as she and Azrael are falling in love. She's even more in touch with her bloodline and ancestors and her sisters, and she's forging a strong bond with Azrael's sister. But though Willow is the standout character to me with her strength and her loving heart, Azrael is the one who grew the most here in their conclusion installment. He finally realized certain key things that allowed him take his head out of the fog and allow his love for his wife and family to make a difference in his life. He completely redeemed himself here and I love it!

I'm going to miss Willow, Azrael and co. Their story is dark and eerie with a paranormal vein running through it, a strong, loving heroine in Willow, and a broody, protective hero in Azrael. There is an excellent secondary cast here too - Willow and Azrael's sisters, and members of Azrael's crew. I'm really hoping they will all get their own stories, whether in The Society series or spun off on their own.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
