After reading Death Blooms, which I really loved by the way, I wanted to read more about Gray. Yolanda said she was writing this little story but clearly, I am not on the ball. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see in the blurb, this book is about Gray from Death Blooms and Lakyn from the Malediction series. I haven&#8217;t read about Lakyn yet but now I really need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This story is about Gray and Lakyn meeting and unfortunately for Gray, Lakyn comes on a little strong. But they&#8217;re both entranced by each other. What could happen when 2 evil people meet? Nothing. Nothing at all. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lakyn ends up going home with Gray, much to Gray&#8217;s dismay, but something about him is unnerving to Lakyn and rightfully so. Have you read Death Blooms? 100% suggest doing so if you haven&#8217;t already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lakyn causes problems for Gray. Gray has issues trying to deal with him and his little friends. It&#8217;s a mess all around but one I rather enjoyed reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I need to read more and find out why Lakyn is the way he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Available in Kindle Unlimited &#8211;<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/48BSaU1\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/48BSaU1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All I wanted was a night out alone to try and feel normal again.
