Threads of Vines and Vanity: (Book 2 of the 'Threads' series)

Book Two of the "Threads" romantasy series Told In Raven Rivers POV They say time heals all wounds, but desire only makes them ache more. Lucas and I hit pause—not because our love had faded, but because the battle three months ago almost tore us apart. Known as the kingdom's 'golden boy', the name doesn't fit the shadows he carries with him night and day. Now, Jasper is sending me to retrieve a spell book from Arden Falls to break the Kymerian curse. My companions? Lucas—the man who still holds my soul in his hands. Ajax—the stunningly dangerous warrior whose touch has left me breathless, a man who’s not afraid to stain his hands with blood for me. And Aspen—the hidden serpent, waiting to strike. But restraint has a deadline. Between light touches and whispered vulnerabilities, Lucas and I fall into the love we never lost, while Ajax remains my fiercest protector. The chemistry between the three of us crackles, simmering just beneath the surface, threatening to boil over at any moment, and who knows whether it’s in lust or fury. The scales need to balance out. As deception from within our group unravels and danger draws near, the three of us move as one—bound by loyalty, betrayal, and something far more dangerous. Because love doesn’t fade. And neither does the hunger it stirs.

The enchanting world, well developed characters and great plot will have you thinking about this book long after you've read it. 🌟 The tension and spice is also so good! 🥵 - Amazon Reviewer Whoever said that sequels aren't as good as the original lied because Threads of Vines and Vanity was a hell of a read and just as good, if not better, than the first book in the series! This time the FMC is Raven Rivers, the younger sister of the previous book's MMC. Raven is tasked with retrieving a spell book but with a twist; she goes with her guardian/FWB Ajax and her ex-boyfriend, Lucas. Cue a spicy love triangle that leaves you breathless. - Amazon Reviewer These Fae! Holy hotness. This book was the perfect blend of fast paced and slow sweet moments. I love the way Katie has blended 500 year old Fae and barely old enough to know better mortals into this story. I love Ajax and Lucas so much! They are the perfect blend of MMC traits and their constant non-toxic masculinity makes me want to move to Osiris. So much happened in book 1 that I'm glad we got to slow down and take this journey- and boy was a lot packed into the travels. - Goodreads Reviewer
