My Thoughts
The Serpent Prince is the third installment in the series. After reading the first book in the series, I loved it so much that I desperately couldn’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series, and I just loved reading The Serpent Prince. From the very first page, I found myself captivated until the very last page, and even though I wasn’t totally into the story, there was still a sense of mystery and romance that pulled me in. The characters were engaging, and their interaction with each other scrumptious. I also enjoyed how their was a sense of purpose in the characters and their interaction with each other was fascinating…although there were parts that I couldn’t bring myself to like….the other much captivating parts made up for it. The sensuality between Lucy and Simon were intense and can at times leave a reader breathless in anticipation for more to come….Overall a Succulent and juice read that will warm you from head to toe….
