Synopsis
The gods play havoc with our souls.
Callie:
I’m torn in two.
The mark of the gods has bound me to my mortal enemy, and not even the most desperate yearnings of my heart can break this tie.
Between the slayer’s vow and the cruel tricks of Idun, my free will has been stolen from me.
All I can hope for now, is that my sister and I can find a path to salvation, but it feels as though we’re walking a path to our ruin instead.
Montana:
I made my choice, and there’s no turning back.
The world has finally offered me the liberty I craved, so why does my heart keep begging me to return to the monster I left behind?
I sense a danger brewing on the horizon, something coming this way that we can’t escape. And even as my thoughts settle on a faraway land where we can leave our hellish past behind for good, I fear it won’t be that easy.
The games of the gods have only just begun.
***This is a dark, fantasy romance series by the authors of Zodiac Academy with all the enemies to lovers vibes – don’t go expecting a sweet vampire with sparkling skin and a tendency to watch you sleeping. These vampires are savage and bloodthirsty, and the slayer who hunts them will stab first and ask questions later. This war-torn fantasy world is a brutal bi*ch and only those 18+ have a chance at surviving the darkness lurking between these pages. There’s no well-meaning vampires snacking on Bambies instead of babies, and if they get their teeth into you, you’ll be damn lucky to escape with your life and panties intact. So grab hold of your slayer blade (wooden stakes have too many splinters) and get ready to defy the gods, because this is going to be one helluva ride***

Wrathful Mortals is the fourth book in the Age of Vampires series and continues the story of twin-sisters Callie and Montana. This book was previously published in 2019 and is now rewritten and revamped.
Wrathful Mortals is another great book in the Age of Vampires series. I really enjoyed reading the original books in 2019, and the rewritten version is also really good. I'm happy that the authors didn't add too many new things, and didn't make this book unnecessarily long. The story is well written and fast paced, and it makes you excited for the next book in the series.
Wrathful Mortals continues the story of twin-sisters, Callie and Montana. Just like in the previous books, this book has multiple POV: Callie, Montana, Erik and Magnar. I really like the four POVs, not too many and they're still relevant to the story. The romance between the characters is still slow-born, and the bond between Callie and Montana was a bit more important in this book.
I'm really happy with the revamped version. Wrathful Mortals was such a great book. It's so nice to be back in Callie and Montana's world, and I also really like that these books aren't big and you can easily read them. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series, and if you like reading about vampires, then you should definitely check out the Age of Vampires series!
