Book Review of 'Teighan'

Teighan by Eryn Hawk, Book #2 in the Veiled City series.

Sweet, grumpy, sexy Teighan. I am 100% glad to have read his book, because his glares in Cair were enough to make we want more. The man has a heart of gold that he hides under the tough exterior of a hardened warrior. I'm not saying he isn't tough, protective, and will take action without hesitation.

I mean that he purposely hides a caring, nurturing side of himself beneath an exterior that purposely pushes people away. I think he's simply done it so long it's become a defensive mechanism he falls back on. If you've read Cair, you understand why because you've 'met' his father. 

Flamboyant, sassy, slightly insecure Alex. He's strong but also weak, cowering to a mother that sees him as nothing more than a tool to use for gain. He's artistic and sarcastic and simply wonderful. His attitude will win you over just like it wins Teighan over. 

He also hides a kinder side of himself underneath his sarcasm and mommy's money. He uses it to keep people away, but also because it's almost what's expected from him anymore. He doesn't hesitate to give it either.

It was wonderful to read the slow development between the two, and absolutely explosive when the tension finally exploded between them. You get to experience Teighan's very protective side while Alex shows just how well he can care for himself. He's never gonna be a damsel in distress lol.

The continued world building from the first book in the series is also astounding. I love the lengths the author goes to try to explain what's happening and what it looks like. They make it obvious that it's important. 

10/10 recommend, 5 out of 5 stars, 3.5/4 out of 5 on the spice scale.
