Book blurb:
Book Two in the Divine Sin series, Roots in Ruin is an adult dark fantasy romance of forbidden power, dangerous devotion, and the monstrous things love awakens.
Bound by Lucifer’s command,
Haruki was ordered to watch over Darcelle.
He was never supposed to love her.
Now, she knows the truth.
The quiet demon who made Hell feel safe
was there long before death brought her to its gates.
Darcelle's awakening has begun,
and as Lucifer's daughter,
she was never expected to be ordinary,
but what's stirring inside her is something even Hell fears.
As she trains under Haruki,
every step Darcelle takes begins to draw suspicion,
and every step Haruki takes is an act of defiance.
Darcelle must decide who she can trust,
and Haruki must choose between loyalty and instinct.
Because some roots don’t just grow in ruin.
They become it.

Thoughts:
This is the second book in the Divine Sin series following Darcelle (FMC) as she adapts to finding out that her life in the mortal realm is over after her early demise and she learns that she not only is now in hell but is a princess and oh yea... Lucifer is her father the king of the underworld.
Her father has made a deal with 4 demons that she will be soul bound to them by the end of the year, not her choice but the more she spends time with them the closer she gets to them and begins to care about them but is holding back due to feeling bad about her feelings beginning to start for all of them (except for Z her ice elemental suitor who has been nothing but rude to her since she arrived).
Karv: Incubus ; Ank: Djinn ; Haruki --> shape shifting Yokai ; Z --> Ice Elemental
This story starts where the first book left off and it's recommended to read these in order.
Darcelle begins her journey where she is to spend one on one time learning from each of her potential husbands (essentially) and this book focuses on her time with Haruki and through this journey we learn that he has a history with Darcelle that she wasn't even aware of will she be able to accept their past history together?
Darcelle and Haruki grow closer together and as the physical tension becomes too much... maybe it's time to do something about it, but what will her other guys think?
Just as Darcelle is beginning to adapt more to her life in the underworld she receives an ominous letter stating that she will need to go through a series of trials to prove she is worthy of staying, all of her guys attempt to help prepare her for this (even Z in his own way).
But will Darcelle be able to make it through when no half demon has ever made it through all 4 of the trials in it's history. The unrest in the underworld is growing as Lucifer believes that his daughter just may be his undoing.
This book captivated me from beginning to end I loved watching Darcelle grow into her powers and learn more about her past history with Haruki knowing this we can see how he cares for her so much even now, swoon!
Again this isn't my usual type of book but I'm so glad that I found this series it's so unique and I can't wait for the next book in the series!
Have you read this one? What did you think?
