Reckless

Book two of the 'Powerless' series of fantasy novels. First was 'Powerless'. This is not a jumping on point. So new readers start with Powerless. Regular ones read on. This runs for three hundred and eighty eight pages. There's a prologue. Epilogue. Forty nine chapters in between. Which vary in viewpoint character between the two main ones. Plus occasional ones for Kitt. There's also a map at the start. Picking up from the end of book one, Paedyn is on the run. Kai is doing his job by hunting her down. Kitt is now King. The latter is not having an easy times of things... This really grabbed me reading wise from the off. Because the prose does really hold you. Added to which, characters don't feel invincible and the fight scenes are really good. You do feel the pain and the punches and the bruises. Which is a refreshing change from characters being perfect at such and nigh on invulnerable. The Kitt chapters are very well done. Spoilers. Of course the two leads have a lot to think about re each other. This works well also. It doesn't quite go as I expected. There's a lot that happens in terms of character in the second half. You do need to keep up with this. So i recommend making an effort to read slowly. This does feel very good as being a solid continuation from the first book. Some middle books in trilogies just move stuff along to set up the end. But this develops in a believable manner. Plus it ends on a cliffhanger that I really didn't see coming. It blew me away. Which makes me eager for the next book. As it should. A fair bit of violence and some mild adult moments in this, so not really for anyone under fifteen. But all in all a very strong second entry in the series. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Paedyn has fled Ilya following her murder of the old King, and new King Kitt has instructed Kai, his Enforcer, to return her to him for justice. What follows is the back and forth of Paedyn evading Kai, and Kai's subsequent capture of her and completion of his duty. So, book two of the trilogy came along, and whilst I adored the development of Kai and Paedyn's relationship after the revelations at the end of Powerless, it very much felt like a filler book - the majority of the plot was them chained together, walking through a desert, trying not to get captured by unscrupulous Ordinaries. There were a couple of interesting plot points - reveals about family members and heritage, and one of Kitt's advisors being someone surprising - but for the most part this instalment was purely focused on Kai and Paedyn's feelings for each other and how Kai's duty to his brother meant she was facing doom. The final twist was not a surprise to me, the foreshadowing was a little too strong and I'd worked it out a long way back, but it's still a huge plot twist and I can't wait to see what happens in the final book as a result.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS BOOK?! and how was it possible to be better than the first?! Nah this series is gonna kill me. I can tell. Don’t even know where to begin in reviewing this apart from it was EVERYTHING!! Kia & Paedyn dancing around each other the entire book “pretending”.. yup we all know how that ends. Honestly love that this book was just mostly them! Although I really enjoyed kitts chapters and how he was dealing with everything! Yet again.. Hope lenny is okay 🥺 he’s like a father to her.. AND HER FATHERS JOURAL!! Oh my days 🤯 do we think she’s an ordinary? Who are her parents.. are they someone of importance. That fricken ending. I honestly never seen it coming, I knew Calum have Kitt a ring but never would have thought it was for Paedyn! My poor Kia 😭 So glad I’m finished early tomorrow and off Saturday to knock the next two books out!! This series is 10/10.

Favourite quote from Reckless; “I think I would fall on my sword if it meant you mourned me,” he breathes. “And it’s terrifying to think you hold that much power over me.” ⊹ - ⊹ - ⊹ - ⊹ - ⊹ - ⊹ - ⊹ - ⊹ 🗡️- Enemies to lovers ❤️‍🔥- Forbidden love 🛌- One bed (🤤) 🤩 - Slow burn ✨- Unique magic system 🌍- Easy to follow world building I ate up the witty banter between Kai and Paedyn 🥹 Their relationship is so layered and complicated but it’s something that has you rooting for them every single page 📃 I can’t wait to see what the final book holds for them because the ending of Reckless had me squealing 😭 These books were well written, the characters were strong and fleshed out and the plot was filled with twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very last page. My heart got shattered, remade and then shattered all over again several times but I truly cannot wait to read the final instalment! 🥹 Highly recommended read and a series that I will hold close to my heart 📖 Fantasy: 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️ Spice: 🌶️ Plot: 📖📖📖📖 Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was looking forward to reading this book after reading the first which was amazing! It was ok, I can’t say I was gripped with the one like I was the first book, but you need this for the storyline. I do like the storyline of it all though. Whey Pae and Kai finally made it back together but we all knew they would. They were meant to be. Overall I still managed to read it in 2 days. Well evenings. I would still recommend this I guess it’s more me wanting to read more gripping parts. Well done! Xx

The chemistry, the tension, the backstories — everything had me hooked. The characters felt raw and real, and the emotional build-up had me clinging to every word. It’s the kind of book that stays with you long after you’ve finished. Highly recommend for anyone who loves slow-burn romance, emotional damage, and beautifully broken characters. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

This is another one of those books that are few and far between - The ones you can't put down. You become obsessed with the book boyfriend. I powered through this one over the course of one night. RECOMMEND!
