Synopsis

All paths lead to this end.

Ruin chases close on our heels and the price we have paid for a chance at our salvation is higher than any of us could have presumed.

I have claimed a love so brutal that I fear losing it might destroy not just me but the world I have fought so desperately to save.

The gods watch us more closely than ever, urging us to fulfil the task our destiny demands. We only have to make it to the end of this road, but I fear what we might find when we reach that final destination.

I am no longer the girl born to ruin and ash, but a woman set on a path of salvation with my heart in the clutches of a monster.

Our eyes are finally open to the true enemies of our kind and now that we have managed to unite against all odds, we are determined to see the games of the gods end.

Time is running out and fate calls our name on a tumultuous wind. Let’s pray that we can answer it before damnation claims us all.

***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***

Review 

This book was provided by the authors in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti!
 
Devious Gods is the seventh and final book in the Age of Vampires series and tells the story of twin-sisters Callie and Montana. This book was previously published in 2019 and is now rewritten and revamped.

Devious Gods is already the last book in the Age of Vampires series. It's so nice that we got to read the revamped versions so close to each other. We didn't have to wait long in between books, which is amazing for my forgetful brain! The Age of Vampires books are perfect for lovers of Fantasy and Dystopian, and I'm so happy that Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti decided to rewrite the series. I really enjoyed reading the original books in 2019, and it's so nice to read Callie and Montana's story again, but now in a revamped version. The main story is still the same, but the authors made some changes to make the story even better. 

Devious Gods continues the story of twin-sisters, Callie and Montana. You read in their POV, but you also read in the POV of their love interests, Magnar and Erik. Devious Gods is the last book in the series, but there's still lots of action and romance in this book. This book also has a happily ever after! I really enjoyed the ending, but I did think we were going to get a longer happy ending like the Zodiac Academy books. But ,I'm still happy for Callie and Montana.

It was so nice reading the Age of Vampires books again, and falling for the characters again. I really enjoyed reading these books, and I'm also a bit sad that this is the last book in the series. The Age of Vampires books are enjoyable to read because they aren't too thick, there's a good balance of romance and action, and the characters and world are really interesting. I'm going to miss Callie and Montana, but I'm also looking forward to reading the next book by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti!
