Summary

The war has begun. Both sides demand Diem's allegiance—or her death.

After her disastrous coronation, Diem finds herself at the center of the conflict between the Descended and the Guardians. With her newfound friends and the man she's falling for on one side, and the mortals she has vowed to protect on the other, Diem must walk a careful line to save the people she loves…even from each other.

The mystery of her unusual heritage begins to unravel, sending Diem and Luther on an unexpected journey across the realms. The answers may hold the key to winning the war, but finding them will require her to face painful truths about her mother, her bloodline, and her fate.

Meanwhile, the Crowns have set Diem in their sights. Some could be her greatest allies—while others want her dead. To end their oppressive reign, Diem must sort friend from foe and risk it all to build an army of her own.

But a powerful figure in the north has plans that could change everything...

Heat of the Everflame is the third book in The Kindred's Curse Saga, a four-book epic fantasy romance series that follows our feisty, bad*ss heroine Diem Bellator in her fight against injustice, her struggle to survive in a royal palace full of betrayal and intrigue, and her journey of self-discovery and finding true love.

This slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers series is perfect for fans of unique magic systems, dragons and other mythical creatures, angst and romantic tension, and hilarious banter. This series will appeal to fans of plot-heavy, character-driven romantasy such as A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, Blood and Ash, The Plated Prisoner, Grisha, and Crowns of Nyaxia.

Enjoyable & Magical

Okay yes Diem makes some questionable decisions and choices throughout the series but the story overall is really, really great. The characters grow and adapt in a very positive way (apart from occasionally Diem). The magic is so much fun and the pacing flows smoothly. BUT the ending, how can Penn Cole leave us hanging like that?! This book truly leaves us on a cliffhanger and there is no news for the fourth book...ahhh! Still 100% worth every second listening to it.

Hooked from the beginning

Loved every minute. Couldn’t switch it off. Tense at every turn and twists I never saw coming. Slow burn and worth the wait!!

Brilliant!

Ended on a cliffhanger... I can't wait for the next book. I'd definitely recommend this series if you're into romantasy books. There's been lots of twists and turns and I've thoroughly enjoyed it so far.

Can’t wait for the last book!

So many pieces fall into place, yet many threads are still unbound! Great sequel, the last one will be a hard read.

A Struggle to get Through

I really enjoyed Spark and Glow of the Everflame, but I almost DNF this book. It dragged on way too long and too much gushing of feelings we were already well aware of. I think the author wanted to create suspense and intrigue, but it didn’t come across that way. The suspenseful situations just went on and on and just became annoying and any resolution was already so easy to see that by the time it came, it was dull and boring. The FMC just felt silly in this book and the MMC really was lacking in development.

Will I read the next book when it comes out? Probably, but I don’t think I’ll be dying to listen to it. More because I want to finish the series.

I thought the narrators did a great job.

Most frustrating heroine ever written

Great performance.
There were times I could have slapped this heroine myself. Frustrating. Why on earth Penn would write her this way I have no idea. All three the same. When you think she has got it together she ends up being even more annoying. How the other characters were written to support and accept her show this could have been better.
