About the Book:
Archangel Uriel is hell bent on revenge on the demon prince Vladek. To get into the prince’s impenetrable fortress, he’ll have to fight in the pits of the underworld. And he’ll need the help of the last person he can trust––the demon witch Nadya.
There is no way Nadya, who spends her days taking care of others, expected to find Uriel on her doorstep. He seems no happier about being there than she does. But helping him means evening the scales against her backstabbing sister, and she’ll do whatever it takes to make that bitch pay.
Using the fight pit circuits in the demon underworld, Nadya helps Uriel combat his way to the arena at the castle in Russia. Only she isn’t what she seems. As a matter of fact, she may hold the key to his redemption...and to his heart.
Each book in the Dominion series is STANDALONE:
* The Deepest Well (prequel)
* Darkest Heart
* Hardest Fall
* Coldest Fire
Be still my heart! Coldest Fire is a magnificent ending to a phenomenal series by Juliette Cross. While the books are technically stand-alone, there are characters and references to the previous books in the series. I highly recommend reading the series in order.
Nadya and Uriel have something in common. Both slaves at one point - Uriel to Lisabette and Nadya to demon prince Vladek - Nadya and Uriel have escaped. The scars inflicted, internally and externally, have influenced how both characters have lived since escaping the clutches of their tormentors. Nadya is in hiding and Uriel has been planning a way to wreak revenge upon Vladek. When Uriel's plans involve infiltrating the fighting pits and clawing his way to Vladek, he knows the only person who can get his foot in the door involves the one woman he can't trust - Nadya, the demon witch.
As Uriel and Nadya plan how to move Uriel through the ranks in the fighting pits, Uriel learns that Nadya may not be the demon witch he has told himself she is since his liberation from Lisabette. Their relationship evolves subtly at first, neither character wanting to take the next step but not wanting to be without the other. Their romantic dance made my heart swell as Uriel and Nadya realize they were meant for each other.
This story is described in such an epic way that I visualized every scene, felt every emotion, and became so absorbed I thought I was there. The description of events at the beginning of Chapter 28 impressed me so much. I was in awe, excited, and had a definite "what now, bitches!?" reaction the way the author presented the scene. I couldn't ask for better writing than what I find in all of Juliette Cross's books.
I'm sad to see the stories of the characters from The Vessel Trilogy and the Dominion series come to an end. I enjoyed every book that lead to Coldest Fire. I was captivated by each story, the characters, and the setting of each book. The uniqueness of each story kept me interested, I was happy about the crossing over of characters, the writing style and plot kept me engaged, and the swoon-worthy romances lifted me up and filled me with joy.
I was provided a review copy of Coldest Fire.
