Eyes of Devious Burgundy: An Age of War and Prophecy (Deathcaller Duet, Book 1)

Eyes of Devious Burgundy

"Loved it! It was dark, it was devious, and it was deadly! I enjoyed this new dark fantasy world that was in the mist of a fierce battle between angels and demons. This book wasn’t a typical enemies to lovers situation it was so much more! I enjoyed the world building and the whole culture that was seen with the demons and their beliefs. I liked how the book wasn’t solely focus on the battle between the angels but also the social injustices and other issues within. Assyria, the main character, was a traumatized character who struggled. Her journey was awe inspiring and spoke of her courage and bravery. I loved her fierceness and the way she challenged things especially Rokath. Rokath, now he was merciless, ruthless, and fiercely protective. He was a wholly complex character that I loved reading more of. The two of the, together was like fire and ice! The banter, the hate, the yearning, the tension, everything was a delicious boiling pot that you don’t want to miss! Tropes to enjoy for this one was hate/to reluctant allies/to love, enemies to lovers, delicious banter, dual POV, secrets, forced proximity, prophecies, slow burn, unwanted mates, feminine rage, touch her and xx vibes, possessive MMC, unique powers, realms at war, battle scenes, and so much more!

very good read

"I loved this book. The plot, the multi povs, the emotion it elicited from me. I could have done without the interludes, just because I felt they dragged the book out more than they provided valuable information to the story line. I felt it took quite awhile for it to really pick up, but once it did it was fantastic. As an avid reader of paranormal romance novels, this would definitely be a book I'd recommend others with the same love for the genre to read. Very well written! Thank you Lacey! I hope to buy a hard copy version for my book shelf soon! I can't wait for book 2!! Spicy level? 5/5!! ["

Riveting!

"The beginning of this book I was having hard time getting into it but I always struggle with a demon angel struggle. But by the middle of this book I couldn’t put it down! I loved it! The world building the somewhat slow burn of the FMC and MMC was fantastic. I also love that the FMC was not some weak female she showed emotion but was strong and bad ass as she should be! ["

728 Pages. One Fated Collision. Zero Regrets.

"Lacey Lehotzky doesn't just warn you in her Content Advisory that Eyes of Devious Burgundy is a sprawling, interconnected epic, she means every word of it, and the ambition is entirely earned. Yes, the opening is measured and deliberate, but understand this: Lehotzky is not slow-building, she is architecting: positioning battle strategies, factions, and a demon-versus-angel mythology with the precision of a master cartographer before the map comes alive. At the centre of this intricate tapestry stands Rokath — logical, analytical, fates-chosen saviour of his people — a man who had his entire existence mapped out until Assyria walked in and dismantled every carefully laid plan with the casual devastation only a true fated mate can inflict. Their dynamic is opposites-collide storytelling at its most electric: his straight-and-narrow path versus her gloriously chaotic energy, two forces that should cancel each other out and instead create something incandescent. The found family woven throughout adds emotional ballast to the epic scale, and the magic system is the kind of special that makes you pause mid-sentence just to appreciate it. And then there are Grem and Zeek — Rokath's two faithful hounds — who have absolutely stolen a permanent corner of my heart, and Lacey, I am addressing you directly: they had better be snoring contentedly in front of a cosy fire at the end of this series!! All 728 pages of this book justify every minute invested. An intricate tapestry indeed, and I am utterly tangled in it! ["

For the Mulan girlies

"All the reviewers who say this a cross between Mulan and The Handmaids Tale had it right. I do think it’s less graphic than Handmaids Tale, but if that kind of world is a trigger for you, I would avoid. This is a dark and delicious story. It is full of grief, loss, and more grief, with healing mixed in. I do think there are some minor plot holes and the usage of the word “coupling” as a verb was icky. I am looking forward to book two. 🎧 the audio is duet narrated and the narrators did a fantastic job. This is first Gideon Frost listen and I loved the way he portrayed Rokath. ["
