Review: Riven Knight, Devney Perry

Genevieve Daylee didn’t expect to be standing in front of a judge on her twenty-seventh birthday. But ever since her life became entangled with a former motorcycle gang, she’s learned not to expect anything but trouble.

Her mother, a woman she once admired and adored, is gone, leaving behind a trail of secrets and lies. She’s living in a tiny apartment above a garage owned by her brother, a man who loathes her very existence. And the father she met beside her mother’s grave is as much of a stranger as Isaiah Reynolds, the broken man with soulless eyes standing beside her in front of the judge.

Isaiah is her protector from the murderer at large in Clifton Forge. Though he’s more like a riven knight in dented armor than a prince on a white stallion. She knows next to nothing about him, other than he works as a mechanic. As of tonight, he’ll be sharing her bathroom.

And, according to the judge, Isaiah is now her husband.

REVIEW

I had been waiting for this for what felt like forever. I was super excited and curious to read Isaiah and Genevieve's story. A marriage for convenience is always so fun and good, add in all the suspenseful goodness of this series and I thought I was in for something amazing but I must have had too high expectations because I didn't enjoy Riven Knight as much as Gypsy King.

This was a slow burn that had me a bit frustrated and as much as I loved Isaiah I hated how indifferent he acted towards Genevieve and after all that she had just been through so recently, reading about how Isaiah's actions made her feel really bothered me.

Even still, I liked them as a couple, they fit so well and their emotional bagagge made it one hell of an emotional roller coaster at times, specially when Devney blindsided us with a major bomb. I kind of hate her for it. I hadn't expected to cry and it wasn't a pleasant surprise. My heart hurt for all these characters. And there's still so much to know, even though the mystery around the murder from Gypsy King was solved and we get some answers. I feel like we are also left with more questions and curiosites about what happens next. I am curious and scared about what's coming in Stone Princess.
