[Book Review] Ouija by EmmaLeigh Loader (Book 2) [RELEASE DAY]

Ouija

 Ava:

Kidnapped by a serial killer with an affinity for pain and madness.
Lost to a world created by a sick and twisted monster.
I died there, in the belly of the beast. But as the Fates willed it, I came back to life.
Now I’m under the King’s Wolves protection, fighting to determine what is real and what are broken delusions.
Hunted by the man who thought that he had killed me. Little does he know, I’m no longer his prey.
I’m under the thumb of a man living with gut-wrenching guilt, but can I convince him that nobody can hurt me any longer? Or will he drive us both into the ground with his fear?

Ouija:
My ‘cunning’ has always been revered as a gift. I’ve forever called it a curse.
My ‘knowing’ leads me to the gravesite of a woman who has plagued my dreams for sixteen years.
Buried alive, my self-loathing for this alleged gift only grows.
It’s something that I’ve suppressed and neglected—something that I’ve always feared. I’m human.
Nobody should have this ability. But living with the knowledge that I had a hand in her unfathomable torment and pain hardens my resolve.
Ava Delaney is mine. I’ve claimed her. I’ll reach into the deepest parts of me and learn how to control my gift if it means that I can stop the man who is hunting her.
Serial killers don’t like to lose.
He let her get away, and that’s his mistake—one that I’ll never make.
Out of all my brothers, I’m probably the one with the most humanity. When it comes to it, though, will I lose my Sapphire? Or will I learn in time to save her?

Trigger Warning-

Dark themes and tragic stories. My work will always be on the darker side, with happily-devil-afters. Degrees of dark and tragic vary. Soft to hard. I have no middle ground. There are no boundaries. It's where the story takes me. No cheating, my Heroines would eat their Alphas and then there would be no story. Know your worth! We'll love you anyway. I write paranormal fairy tales and dark romance for the dark hearted. Queen's in black kicking ass and King's on their knees, worshiping their women. And only their women. M/F.

So my question, will you take immortality by the hand? XOX- Emmaleigh.

That was a wild ride! I really enjoyed this sequel to Savage. I liked Savage, but I loved Ouija. I felt like I could empathize with the characters more, and I enjoyed their personalities more than the first story. Because of this, I had a lot more fun reading this book! One of the things I didn't like in Savage was the wordiness. But, this book is more condensed and although there are a lot of descriptives, it flows in Ouija so it didn't detract from the story. So, if you didn't like Savage for that reason, I would definitely recommend giving Ouija a try! The story flows much better, and the internal monologue is not as wordy. I thought it was a perfect balance between show and tell. 

Ava is tortured by a serial killer, but is saved by Ouija. Ouija has the sight, and he has been having visions of Ava since he was 12 years old. So, he is instantly in love with Ava (which I can understand, since he has seen visions of her for 16 years) but Ava is a little more slow at loving Ouija. I felt like this was realistic, and even though it's kind of "insta-love" it was not the annoying kind sometimes found in books. Also, Ava is strong, but she has to come into her strength. She comes into her inner strength throughout this book, and I really enjoyed that. Ava is probably my favorite character so far besides Stitch. Also, Ava and Ouija's love is adorable, and I loved the scenes between the two of them.

Overall, I would recommend this to anyone that loves dark romance. This isn't a gushy romance, it's dark, but if you're into romance with a little more depth this is the book for you! Also, this book can technically be read as a standalone, but the first book, Savage, will give you more background information into the motorcycle club.
