Caged in Fire by Amy Thorn
4.0
[I received a digital arc for an honest review]
***TRIGGER WARNINGS: Repeated sexual assault of MC, graphic violence***
Caged in Fire by Amy Thorn is the second book in the Caged Duet. Thanatos has opened up to Isaac only to have him ripped away by Damaris. The club is striking back with their limited information but as they search high and low for Isaac he is being tortured at the hands of men who bring nothing but pain and suffering. Isaac struggles to stay strong but holds onto hope that Thanatos will find him and bring a reckoning down on everyone who plays a part in the dark market that prepares to sell him. But even if he can be saved, will Isaac still be the man that broke through Thanatos darkness?
This book broke my heart. You could feel the anguish of both characters wafting off the pages as you fell deeper down the dark hole of human trafficking. Thanatos is living his worst nightmare over again, this time with Isaac having thrown himself at the lions to save him. He has struggled so much and the small reprieve brought on by Isaac entering his life is gone. Isaac knows he won’t be the same man he was when he was taken. His body and soul are stripped away and whatever remains is not the same person that broke down Thanatos walls. His rage and sadness combined create a volatile and dangerous person that neither man recognizes. The two men struggle to piece together an already complicated relationship and fight to accept the new normal.
“He’s become my rock. I need him as much as he needs me. Two shattered souls seeking solace. That’s all we are.”
Book one had you becoming very attached to Thanatos and Isaac so when the cliffhanger left you needing more this book completely satisfied that. But man do you go through the ringer watching the story unfold. I don’t typically do a lot of trigger warnings but this book had me reeling from the sexual violence. This is not an easy book so be prepared for this because it doesn’t necessarily get lighter even as it comes to an end.
4 stars for the fiery conclusion to a dark duet for two lost souls finding peace together.
