The cliffhangers are brutal but in such a good way. They leave you yearning for answers and eager for more.
From the blurb:
Gluttony doesn’t remember the past; Saeran is haunted by it. Their love could save them all, or it could signal their doom.
Saeran
I’ve spent so long hiding in the shadows, I’ve forgotten what it’s like to live any other way. I lost Gluttony lifetimes ago and watching him now is agony. I didn’t mean to get this close, not after being careful for so long.
Whoever we were is gone. I wish we could have just one more moment. If only giving in to my need for him wouldn’t mean the end for us all.
Gluttony
He came to me in the shadows, offering gifts with his silver tongue. I refuse to be taken for a fool like my brothers. A pretty face isn’t enough to lure me in. I just want one more gift and answers to the promises he whispers in my ear.
I’ve no interest in love or physical connections. And yet this stranger comes waltzing in with his secrets and his lies, and I’ve never wanted to hoard anything more than him.
Gluttony is a slow-burn MM urban fantasy romance with dark themes, morally gray characters, and extreme pining. It is the second book in the Seven Deadly Sins series, which must be read in order.
Angel's review:
I'll start by saying this is NOT a standalone, you have to read Lust, (the first book in this series), before you can read this one. While each story does focus on a different couple, there's an overarching plotline and each book leaves off on a cliffhanger.
Okay, now that that's out of the way, onto the story! Gluttony and Saeran's story is one full of heartbreak and anguish.. Saeran has lived with the memories of his past for decades, even when he reincarnates he still keeps his memories. It's both bitter and sweet for him to remember. When his home got attacked, the people he loved most died... And when they reincarnated, they had no memories of their life prior to death, no memories of him or of the power they have.. But Saeran knows everything, and that's what makes this so heartbreaking.
Gluttony's character is very brash, almost harsh at times. He's quick to get angry, and loves to fight... His character didn't pull me in as much, I was more intrigued and invested in Saeran than I was Gluttony. Having said that, while these two seem as though they are opposites and on different sides, they just fit together on page. Overtime Gluttony breaks down all the walls Saeran has surrounding his heart and is able to get the man to finally come clean about what he knows. For the most part anyway.
I liked this story, I thought the connection between Gluttony and Saeran was great. There was a ton of pent of longing and emotion, which is understandable considering Saeran has had to live with the memories of his lost love. There is also quite a bit of angst involved too. While there is romance in this story, the main focus (in my opinion) is building up the plotline and adding more mysteries, along with twists and turns. Which I honestly ended up enjoying, I liked the all the details Sienna uses to build up the world these Sins live in, and I enjoyed discovering new and important details as the story went on.
I am very much looking forward to Envy's story, and I can't wait to see what happens in his story!
