Synopsis:
n this sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller, Camille, her sister Edel, and her guard and new love Remy must race against time to find Princess Charlotte. Sophia's Imperial forces will stop at nothing to keep the rebels from returning Charlotte to the castle and her rightful place as queen. With the help of an underground resistance movement called The Iron Ladies-a society that rejects beauty treatments entirely-and the backing of alternative newspaper The Spider's Web, Camille uses her powers, her connections and her cunning to outwit her greatest nemesis, Sophia, and restore peace to Orleans.

Oh wow. I don't know even know how to begin this review so coherently. I just got out of submitting and this book was my haven and escape. I do not want to part with this series, it will be missed dearly.
I really enjoyed this series for many reason, in particular this book. This left off exactly where Belles finished, after escaping from the palace and from the evil clutches of Sophia, Camille and the gang are determined to overthrow Sophia, the fate of the world depends on it.
The plot was very mysterious, every turn was a new surprise only leading to another alley full of mysteries, I was constantly on the edge of my seat and desperate to find out what happens next. Unexpected help came in unforeseen ways. I was very happy to see new characters introduced and that too such strong female characters, my favourite was Lade Drane.
Camille was all action in this movie, but she often resumed self doubt as one does in dire situations. Although given the circumstance it would be hard to relate to her considering she is a Belle but I found myself liking her more in this book than the first one, she wasn't afraid to stand up for her loved ones and go back for them. Sometimes her adoration for people who are mean can be quite naive at times. I didn't enjoy where she kept making excuses for Amber when clearly Edel disliked her.
I loved Remy in this book, specifically I loved his connection with Camille, oh they were #couplegoals. Remy is kind and selfless for the people he loves. I adore his caring personality and more so with those around him.
After such a tumultuous ride, I am glad the Belles finally got the happy ending they deserved, also saddened for the losses along the way.
A bit saddened by the ending of the series, but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Camille come in to character and remind herself of what matters the most. If you after a rollercoaster of a ride with some passion and kisses in there then this is the book for you.
Can't wait to see what's next for the author!
