The Onyx Hourglass
Review of The Onyx Hourglass by Kristy Nicolle
About The Book
Description
It’s been six months since Xion and Haedes began their search for The Book of The Dead, and with a warning from higher powers, they know they can’t be far from their goal.
Meanwhile, Luce and Thane are left scrambling, putting their relationship under strain as Luce succumbs to the dark magic she finds so alluring.
Then there’s Pandora, who’s been quiet ever since that night at the Colosseum, but why? Demon numbers are decreasing, yet animalistic murders in downtown Chicago indicate a shift in the way The Demon Lords are operating.
Can Sephy be brought back? And if she can, will she return as the Sephy Sinclair we all know and love, or will something else entirely return from beyond the grave?
Spicy, slow burn, Greek Mythology inspired Fantasy Romance, perfect for lovers of Adult Fantasy Romance with immersive worldbuilding such as The Mercy Thompson Series, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and The Dark Hunters series by Sherilynn Kenyon.
My Review
My ranking: ★★★★★ (5 stars)
In the second installment of the Ashen Touch Trilogy and the fifth book in the Queens of Fantasy saga, Kristy Nicolle delivers another compelling read. Her storytelling prowess is on full display as this installment challenges the boundaries of morality and self-interest. The stakes are high—significant events unfold, scars are left, and relationships evolve dramatically. One of the standout themes is the powerful, unwavering love of a father. True to form, Nicolle ends this book with a shocking twist that leaves readers eagerly anticipating the conclusion of the trilogy. I’m already looking forward to diving into book three!
