Didnt realise this was the second in a series therefore this is based solely on this book.

Luxor is the daugher of Lucifer, she has unstoppable powers that are constantly evolving. She doesnt know who to trust in her misson to control her powers.

i would probably read the first book and then reread this

Warning- This is my first book from the author therefore my review is based solely on this book only and the series as a whole.

That little tidbit out of the way, I enjoyed the premise of Betrayed. Luxor Everstone had a rude awakening as she comes to the realization that she is the daughter of the devil. If that isn't bad enough she constantly has moral conflicts on which side of the spectrum she resides as her powers are increasing daily, pushing her to the brink of good or evil.

Hunter and Luxor were quite the pair and the addition of a new mystery man keeps it fun and exciting. The depth of their emotion for each other was truly heartbreaking in certain scenes and I yearned for their happy ending (Spoiler- NOT).

The plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat and were surpassed only by the sheer brutality of certain revelations. A LOT of characters surprised me when their true nature was revealed and I liked the duality of their personalities.

While the book was engaging, I did have some peeves. Mainly the disconnect between Luxor and the secondary characters, especially those close to her. There was such a rollercoaster of emotions as betrayals come to light that it was hard to keep track of who's friend or foe. My other peeve was the way certain scenes were written. There was a lot of preamble and then the scenes abruptly ended without being fully explained. These abrupt endings made it difficult to keep track of the progression of the story and at times felt disjointed instead of a synergistic flow.

That being said, I would read further into the series to see how it plays out and believe the characters have true potential.

Recommended for those who are interested in PNR/ YA/ Fantasy.

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for providing me with an arc. All views and opinions expressed are my own.
