Vengeance Born: A Grim & Reaper Netherworld Tale (Ebook + Bonus Chapter)

I read this book after reading LC Son's other Netherworld-related novels. I highly recommend doing so as this reads like a sequel (though it works as a stand alone, there will be parts you're left questioning because the back story or additional explanations were divulged in a different novel). I first read "One Winter's Kiss", followed by "Fire Kissed", then "Fire Born" finishing with "Vengeance Born" (I do hope there will be others!).

I honestly cannot choose between Thelios and Roark. They are both so yummy! And the gals, Syd and Pella, aren't damsels in distress or push-overs. They know what they want, and they go about getting it! We've got a bit of everything in this novel: lots of witty banter that had me laughing out loud, insta love at first sight, spicy love making (this book should be considered 18+ as parts are very explicite and the spice drops often!!), tender shared moments, dark secrets, true villains, a shadow daddy... There should be something for everyone.

I really liked the 2-act set-up, with each act following a different couple, and this was the first time I've read a book laid out like that. And we could actually call it a 3-act story as the final and third part of the story pulls everyone back together. Vengeance Born could even be tandem-read with Fire Born as the events take place at the same time and certain parts overlap (but don't fret, there is next to zero repeated scenes - you're getting a whole new story here).

To sum it up, I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a "lighthearted dark romance", if that makes any sense to you!

The love, the drama, the spice ( Closet IYKYK -GRIM LORD😤), the unique and amazing creatures in this wonderful world of Purgia I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT😍 I seriously can't get enough of the Netherworld!! Like I need to know, will there be more books in this world? Because it is that good!

So, there are two relationships going on in this book.
You have the Grim and Lorna Sydney, and then you have Reaper and Pella.

I really don't know whose relationship I love more. Both relationships are forbidden, complicated, alluring, all the above.

I would say Grim and Lorna Sydney was a little tear jerking towards the end, and I was like OH NO😳 but then something good happens! ( no spoilers)

The events in this book take place before the events of Fire Born and then catch up to it ( which I enjoyed that)

I love that we got to learn more about Kharon's court and their developing relationships.

I loved Lorna Sydney and Pella omgsh especially Pella she is so fierce and feisty!! Both ladies were amazing 👏🏾

My only complaint is that it ended
(Mind you, it was over 400 pages, lol)
That should tell you something, lol.
I HIGHLY recommend this book!!

2 stories in one book and both are fantastic! We're back in the Netherworld and are meeting some very interesting characters. The author does a great job telling Grim and Sydney and Reaper and Pella's stories. There are surprises and twists and storylines that will have you wanting more. The author is very descriptive, one of the things I love with her books, which makes you feel like you're there with them. There's some spice and some moments you just want to smack them. A definite must read and if you haven't read anything of hers before I good way to wet toes!

This books is a great dark romance ❤️‍🔥 split into two different stories L. C. Son has you falling for the hottest men in the Netherworld!!

If I could add a stamp on my passport to the Netherworld I would be on the FIRST thing smoking! This book brought all the heat and then some. The plot was simple, yet engaging.

Two damsels in distress ✔️
Two dark lords ready & willing to help ✔️✔️

I would gladly trade places with either Sydney or Pella because both Grim and Reap were smoking 🥵🔥

For real, there were some heart wrenching moments that made me want to throw my kindle across the room, but the author made it all worth it in the end.

My favorite scene was Pella finding her power. Hell, I’d find my power too if I had gotten my back blown out by Reaper!

I’m so glad I’m on this ARC team because I can’t wait to read these books.

This one gets all the stars!
