This is the second book in the Miss Adventure series. I absolutely love that they are fast engaging reads. There’s a fantastic balance of characters and plot, while you can see a bit of overarching problems that will tie the series together. While I have read both books I think you could get by jumping into this one if you wanted to. There are some bits that might be confusing at first, but there is definitely enough context to figure things out as you go. BUT they’re both great and you should just read them both anyway. 😅

This installment gave us more into all of the characters, which was just so satisfying. I feel like Adina’s relationship with her sister is on the mend, and I really enjoyed reading their interactions. The tension that brewed in the first book, continued here and it was ugh, brutal but perfect. The world really expanded in this book, as well as the cast of characters. I can not wait to continue reading this series!

“Between the black suit, the desert landscape, and what awaits at the bottom of the hill, the effect is a little too Dark Tower for my taste.” -SG Tasz

Okay, okay. That quote isn’t super epic, but gosh my little Dark Tower loving heart was all a flutter. 🤣 This book has a little of everything, fantasy, adventure, comedy, romance, it’s a great blend! 

There is some light spice. 😉🌶️🌶️

I am SO thankful to have received an e-arc of this from Sunny Babe PR! I just love these Miss Adventure books!
