This book has a LOT of s*x. Boring, vanilla, cut and paste, repetitive s*x. The whole of the first 200+ pages of this book is 70% s*x (not the spicy kind, the boring kind. At least switch positions or something 🙄) 20% them becoming a couple, and 10% the plot that I'm actually reading the book for! To say I'm underwhelmed and dissatisfied is an extreme understatement. (The plot I was waiting and reading for starts on page 230. With only 70 pages left of the book to go.)
In The Cult Constance is strong. She protects Clair at the risk of her own life. She stands up for women she doesn't know. She is a survivor. In this book, she is weak. She needs Benton just to feel safe in her own skin. Unable to make a move or a decision without him. She became your stereotypical femal with her man. She is still good to Clair. The only time she shows any backbone at all is when it comes to parenting that child.
We get it. Benton is supposed to be muscular and hot. Unfortunately, the way the author writes him he comes off more as a steroid pumping bodybuilder. 😝 Do we really need to read about his physique every few paragraphs? He is still stoic, with little to no character depth. He is neither likable nor unlikable. Even reading from his duel POV, we learn little about him other than surface.
The last 70 pages of this book are exactly what I wanted. The whole reason I gave the book 3⭐️ instead of 2. I won't give anything away, but it's exactly the conclusion that is wanted after reading The Cult. I'm glad I hung in with this book just to get to this point.

few chapters towards the ending was a bit boring, ngl.
Interesting world building!
I wasn't sure what to expect from this duet, but considering I own several Sky books and haven't read any yet, I was overdue to start! I loved the set up for this story, it was creepy and desperate. The characters were powerful and even though there was push, there was more pull and I enjoyed it. I do see that Sky is a series author, so I've got my work cut out for me to complete this catalog! I'm going back to the Chateau series after this.

After skipping sleep to read the first book, I still avoided sleeping so I could finish the story.
And babe, it was worth it.
My husband chose this duet for me to read, and he chose well this time. Too well, in fact.

This book…this series…blown away. This was everything I needed in a novel and more. These are the types of books that throw you into a reading slump, always comparing to this perfection!
Just a dash of spice in a slow-burn, grumpy romance that made the whole story complete.

Such a great way to end this duet!!! Being able to read Constance, Benton, and Claire's love and family grow had me in tears. I felt the impending doom throughout this whole book, and let me tell you guys, the last few chapters broke my heart and then filled in the cracks all at the same time! That epilogue was absolutely beautiful. This duet has been so amazing, and I love it so much.
