Review: Suffered (The Lost Sovereign Book 2) by Anna Hawke

About the Book
Locked in a supernatural prison. Forbidden to see each other’s faces.

Sola is stolen from her life, stripped of her magic, and forced to be the object of a madman’s obsession. After a century behind bars, her world is a cycle of pain and abuse—until a kindhearted stranger is thrown in the cell beside hers. Escape no longer feels impossible, but hope had betrayed her before.

Jailed for the wrong reasons, Quinn’s centuries of loyal service end in torment and chains. A healer with secrets of his own, he never expected to find light in the darkness—or to fall for the fierce, broken woman at his side.

Together, they have one chance at freedom, but survival outside the prison walls may prove even more dangerous than what awaited them within.

Author's Note

Suffered is a dual perspective paranormal romance with urban fantasy elements. As part of the Lost Sovereign series, it can be read as a standalone, but we recommend that they be read in order. While the romance within sizzles, this series is fade to black/closed door.


MY THOUGHTS

I’m loving this series! I didn’t think it was possible, but this book was even better than the first. It picks up right where Shattered left off, so be sure to read it first. This is not a standalone.

Sola had been through some seriously terrible things, and while it still affected her (how could it not?), she was resilient and strong. I really admired her kind strength. It was nice getting to know Quinn better. I loved his optimism even in the midst of dire circumstances. He never lost hope, which was inspiring.

This book deals with some hard subjects, but there was also light, laughter, and hope, which I really appreciated.

If you’re a fan of closed-door paranormal romance, you’ll love this series! I highly, highly recommend it and am very eager for book three!

I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.

    1. This book focuses on two different characters, but since things are still so connected to the first book, I'd recommend starting with book one. They're both really good though! :D
