Second Offense by Lexi C. Foss

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bow or bleed.

A decision all Noir angels must make.

Because I’m their king.

It wasn’t my choice. I assumed the position after the prisoners of this nightmare reformatory went after my mates.

Auric is my commander, even if I’m the one giving the orders. He worships the dukedom, the princess, soon to be our queen.

Layla is my crown, my purpose, the sheer essence of life.

She’s the key.

The key to unlocking the darkness in my soul. There is no reform. No restitution. Only retaliation and fear.

I’ll decorate my throne with the broken wings of my enemies. Their blood will run like a river, a red carpet at my feet.

The games have just begun. The players have been cast.

And in this world of darkness and sin, all will bow to their king.

Second Offense

Lots of action and adventure!

The heroine: Layla – Her father is king of the Nora angels. She is a princess whose wings turned black and now she resides at Noir Reformatory. She has always wanted her guard Auric, and thought she couldn’t have him since she had to marry another royal from the dukedom. Though now that she shares a cell with Auric and Novak, she knows she wants them.

The Heroes: Auric and Novak – Auric is a Nora angel and has been a guard for Layla since she was young. He left for a while because he didn’t think he could watch her with any other man but returned when she became a Noir angel. Novak is a Noir angel, the baddest one in Noir Reformatory.

The story: Layla, Auric and Novak find out new things about the Noir and where they really came from, but they had a hard time believing it, since it went against everything they had ever been told. Sayair, the Reformer and Layla’s uncle had some new tricks as well, he kept testing the Noir by sending all kinds of paranormal beasts after them.

There was all kinds of action and adventure in this book as well as plenty of steamy scenes. Raven and her mates played a big part in this book, like in the last few. She and Layla became a bit closer in this one. I liked the fact that there were two groups of mates working together in this book. There was more action and adventure in this book than in the last two as well as a few reveals.

This audiobook was narrated in multiple points of view via duet narration. Cassandra Myles, Kale Williams, Lisa Zimmerman and Gregory Salinas did the narration. I liked all of these narrators, and it was done very well.
