Book: Her Soul for Revenge: Deluxe Special Edition by Harley Laroux

Rating: 5/5
This is my second Harley Laroux book and it is far from my last. (I will be reading your entire catalog Harley!) I am amazed at everything that was packed into this book. A parallel story for the sacrifice that refused to die, Juniper was rightfully angry. Angry at the world, angry at herself, angry at the injustices that left her to fend for herself, angry for surviving. Balancing on a knife’s edge of trying to survive and bringing justice to those that wronged her, she doesn’t come across as… well, approachable. Sealing her fate to exact her revenge feels right on brand for her.
What I wasn’t expecting was the concept of showing yourself mercy. From a “monster” no less. The permission that Zane gave Juniper to stop suffering. I can’t even begin to describe how that hit my psyche. Now don’t get me wrong, Zane is hot af in this, and holy hell, the whole [redacted] scene is… indelibly etched on my brain. The tenderness balanced with the fury, the permission to let yourself say this is enough was beautiful.
6 various cryptid monsters for this one.
