Book Review: Blood & Honey by Shelby Mahurin

Title: Blood & Honey
Author: Shelby Mahurin
Series/Standalone: Serpent & Dove (Book #2)
Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Young Adult
Pages: 536
Publisher: HarperTeen
Year Published: 2020
Format: Audiobook

"After narrowly escaping death at the hands of the Dames Blanches, Lou, Reid, Coco, and Ansel are on the run from the coven, kingdom, and church- fugitives with nowhere to hide.

To elude the scores of witches and throngs of chasseurs at their heels, Lou and Reid need allies. Strong ones. But protection comes at a price, and the group is forced to embark on separate quests to build their forces. As Lous and Reid try to close the widening rift between them, the dastardly Morgane baits them in a lethal game of cat and mouse that threatens to destroy something worth more than any coven.

The hotly anticipated sequel to the New York Times and IndieBound bestseller Serpent & Dove- packed with even steamier romance and darker magic- is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas."

My Rating: 3/5

This was not the sequel I need from this series. I was really hoping that it wouldn't get too extreme in the mythology but it really went all in and I just didn't enjoy that. I felt that the world wasn't well built and we were relying on a relationship that appeared to be falling apart. The joking and fun that happened in the first book just weren't as great as I hoped. Overall just ok, fun but not great.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
