I absolutely adored this book. I will be reading the other two in the series. I actually hope there may be more to hear about Zola and Darshan's life, successes, and maybe even failures? (I hope not!)
It's a very gripping story of romance, determination and difficulties, but all done tastefully. The sex scenes aren't too crude and are almost poetic. I enjoyed finding out about some of the characters pasts. The only complaint I have is I was just wanting more. I wanted to know all of the back stories - where they came from, why they behaved that way, etc.
A big congrats Mathis a super job.
I loved the characters: Kissen, a Godkiller who loves her job; a girl with a couple of rather large secrets, one of which is Skediceth, a small god who is tied to her. Which is something of a conundrum for Kissen. If she kills the little god of white lies, will she kill the child as well? And then there’s Elogast, a Knight turned baker, who has to ask one last favour from a god for his best friend. Why the god would do anything for him is a mystery - after all, Elogast killed many gods and destroyed their shrines during the God Wars.
The world building in this is epic, the pacing is perfect, and it’s just an overall exciting, thrilling ride of a story.
I need more asap!

In order to do so, he also forged numerous official documents, which brings him to the attention of Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), who makes it his mission to capture Abagnale, with the two then forming a sort of co-dependent relationship on each other.
It's not a bad movie by any means, with it also attempting to provide some form of justification/explanation for Frank's actions through the lens of his childhood and his relationships with his parents, although I did find it a little slow to start with.

By Jessie Keane
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Murder, loyalty and vengeance collide in Jessie Keane's gritty fourth novel. Blonde and beautiful Lily King is back on the scene - and not in a good way. Her family haven't missed her. Her husband, London villain Leo King, certainly hasn't, because he's dead. Lily killed him and did time for it. At least, that's the story. Everyone believes it. But Lily knows it's not true. She knows she was fitted up by someone close to her. Now, she's just hit thirty, she's out, and she doesn't do forgiveness. But in her absence, things have moved on, the old order has changed, and now she's ready to reclaim her position as head of the King family. Fuelled by vengeance and power, Lily King is back. London won't know what hit it.
Loved it! Can’t imagine being locked away from everything you love especially being innocent! I love Jessie Keane her books really pack a punch!
