Game of Hate and Lies (Broken Kingdoms book 5) by L.J. Andrews

Blurb

When wicked men first took the boy she loved, she was a child.
Now they’ve taken him again, but this time…she’s a queen.


For weeks, Malin plotted and schemed with the kingdom’s cruelest crooks, the Nightrender and the Guild of Kryv, to infiltrate a wicked masquerade.

They survived. They escaped. Most of them.

To the underbelly of the kingdom, the Nightrender never made it out of his own scheme. To Malin, he’s only Kase, the man who owns her heart, and who is once again a prisoner of their enemies. Malin and the Kryv will stop at nothing until he’s free. Even if it means claiming her birthright to a throne that brings death and war.

But when they discover Kase has been locked in a cruel spell, Malin must find a way to steal his new twisted memories before he is lost to them for good.

The only trouble is when Kase looks at Malin, all he sees is an enemy with a death sentence.

Return to the vicious world of the Eastern Kingdom. Part Viking, part Cinderella, the battle continues with more schemes, spicy romance, and epic adventure.


*Author Note* This book contains the spiciest scenes yet in this series. As a member of the mom-of-a-teenager club, I would recommend those who are not old enough to vote to read responsibly. There are open-door love scenes.

Rating and Review

Overall Rating: 3/5 stars

Review:

What I Didn't Like:

  • They had sex in a cave. Why are the sex scenes written so well but in stupid places???? That doesn’t make sense to me
  • They got married.
  • Some important people died, but I know character death is a personal thing.
  • It took so long to get Kase back. When he was "retrieved," it was around 70% through.
  • Sometimes, like the last book, I had to skip paragraphs.


What I Did Like:

  • They got married.
  • Malin brought Kase back in a really cool way.
  • The Tale of the Four Queens.
  • I finished this book within a week (similar to the last book), which is pretty quick for me. 


Final Thoughts:

I neither hated nor loved this book. As you can see above, I didn't have much to say I loved or hated. I definitely liked it; don’t get me wrong. I liked continuing Malin and Kase’s story. I thought it was much better than the last book, by a looooong shot. This book felt like it had much more of a plot, in my opinion. I can’t wait to read the last book. I hope it finishes them off really well. Elise and Valen are returning!!!
