Lets start by just giving praise to K.J. Sutton for writing such an amazing book.
Restless Slumber is the second book in the Fortuna Sworn series. It continues on immediately from where we left off in the first book. From there we see Fortuna trying to protect her brother. She is also trying to right many wrongs like her relationship with her brother, taking the wolf to his pack, and just trying to be a better person overall. This book was so so so good. There is no way I could sing enough praises to tell you how much I loved this book. It was captivating from the moment it started and I was absolutely enthralled. I dare say this book was better than the first. I also loved this book because I connected more to characters. In the first book Fortuna annoyed the hell out of me and throughout reading Restless Slumber I began to see how much she was struggling with herself as well. I really started to sympathize with her. I also fell more in love with Collith because I have always understood his thinking and I related to him so much. Was this an acknowledgements book? (A book that I loved so much that I read the acknowledgements because I didn't want it to end.) Yes it was. I don't think it was going to be but when I saw that there was no preview for the third book at the end I went back and read the acknowledgements. It helped give me just a tiny bit of closure, even though I still desperately need the next book. This book made me laugh and cry... well more like sobbing. I literally had to take a break and go brush my teeth because my tears were blurring my vision and I couldn't read anymore. Just overall I really loved this book and I can't wait to continue reading this story. I highly recommend this book but I first must issue warnings that this book has strong language, multiple sex scenes, murder, death, rape, and more. It is definitely an adult book so make sure you are prepared for that before starting. Again I loved this book so much and I highly recommend it.
Ok peeps it is spoiler time. Okay lets start with addressing the Damon situation. I totally understand how broken he is from losing his love but I was just wishing and praying that he would give Fortuna a chance and when it finally came I was so happy. I am still hoping that Damon gets to be in a healthy gay relationship in this story so queer readers do get to read about queer characters that aren't just the villain. Secondly we are gonna talk about Oliver. Ever since Fortuna woke up in the cell and his healing stayed, I got bad vibes. He is just failing my vibe tests. I really don't trust him. And based on the fact that basically all the titles have something to do with dreams and sleeping, I really don't trust him. Every time Fortuna would fall asleep and she wouldn't go to the dreamscape I rejoiced. I just really don't like Oliver and I'm sticking to that until I am proven wrong. Next up is Collith. Collith is my sweet baby boy. I relate to him on so many levels and I love him so much. So when he died, I started sobbing. I especially was crying hard as Fortuna tried to give him CPR and it didn't work and then every time she held his hand while he was lying on the table. It just killed me so the whole time I was just wishing that there was something that could happen to save him and boy that was a scene. (Mom I know you read my reviews. Please stop here) As someone who has been sexually assaulted, reading the demon rape scene was really intense. I really felt for Fortuna and I think it is that scene that finally made me begin to love her character. She is just scared and broken and she doesn't know what to do and I really related to her. In my opinion, losing your virginity could be from having any kind of sex, oral, penetrative, whatever, but I'm also gay so that might just be me. But also I don't consider her having lost her virginity, especially since it was something she held so dear. I have always thought that you don't lose your virginity until you very consensually give it to someone you trust so even if Fortuna thinks she has lost hers to a demon, I don't consider that true. She still gets another chance. (Sorry Mom. I told you to stop) I also loved seeing the new characters like Emma and Fred and Matthew. Savannah can go to hell though. I hate her. But I think it was interesting to read the siren scene because I was totally on Fortuna's side that she should die but as more was explained I switched to Collith's side in sparing her and instead, urging her to get help. I loved Cora and all the werewolf scenes because they were so intense. I love Finn with my whole heart and he is a good boi. I just really love this book. It was so well written. Crack head theory time. Oliver is alive somewhere and he is just messing with Fortuna. He really wants her to be his and he will find any way to do it. Damon will come to remember everything Jassin did but he will still love him and Fortuna is going to have a really hard time accepting that. Fortuna isn't going to tell Collith about how she brought him back until at least the fourth book because she likes to stubborn and secretive and piss me off like that. Meanwhile Collith will talk to her about his experiences in death. I still have no clue what the creature that killed Fortuna's parents was but I think it was only following orders to kill them from his master, OLIVER. I think that her parents were starting to push Fortuna to get rid of her "imaginary friend" and Oliver didn't like that so he killed them. Okay that's all I got. Thanks for reading and thanking you to K.J. Sutton for writing a great book. I can't wait to see what happens next.
