Consumed


Consumed (Devoured, 2)
by Emily Snow
Rating: 3.5 Bows!


Now that Lucas is back in her life, Sienna is sure the drama between them is over. But then he comes to her with a new offer: his band, Your Toxic Sequel, is going on tour and he wants her with him—working in wardrobe and as his girl.

Life on the road is a complete 180 from everything Sienna has ever known. Not only does she have to deal with Lucas’s band members, but she’s also forced to be around Cilla, the lead singer of Wicked Lambs. Still, despite horny band mates and a gorgeous rock goddess determined to sink her talons into Lucas, Sienna stays by his side.

Then the letters start to come—harassing messages from Lucas’s ex-wife, Sam.

At first, Sienna brushes them off, keeping Lucas in the dark because Sam is bad for his music. But after Sam’s contact turns personal and violent, Sienna has no other choice but to confront Lucas. If she’s ever going to understand the twisted pull Sam has on him, she has to know his secret. But when he finally reveals it, will they be able to survive the consequences? Or will it tear them apart, consuming them?


It's finally out!!! After months and months of waiting we finally get to see what happens to Sienna and Lucas. I gotta say, after all the waiting and the building angst, I was expecting this book to be phenomenal. I'm a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I liked the book, but after all the anticipation and waiting, it was not what I was hoping for. 


Consumed starts right where Devoured left off. Sienna and Lucas are reunited and after some coercing, she agrees to go on tour with YTS and be their "wardrobe consultant". Everything is fine and dandy, we have the occasional Cilia jealous fits but that nothing major. Then Sienna starts to get letters and gifts from Lucas's crazy ex-wife Samantha. 

Now, from everything we know about Samantha, I was expecting some major drama...and I think that fell a little flat for me. I wanted drama, angst, a little bit of frustration and sadness but nope, that didn't happen. 

The main mystery of this Devoured series is that Samantha knows something about Lucas. So most of the story is about trying to get to know what that is. We don't find out until 3/4 of the book AFTER something major happens to Sienna (which reminded me of Music of the Heart by Katie Ashley btw) and that was a big relief for me. Not because of what the secret was but because it was something unexpected and at this point in the book I needed something shocking! 

My biggest let down was the ending with Samantha. I mean COME ON! After everything that happened because of her, you're gonna give us that closure about her?  It baffled me. 

Aside from all that, Sienna was great, glad she grew a backbone and was able to stand and fight for herself and Lucas Wolfe was just as sexy, dreamy, and naughty as ever. I swooned every time he spoke, sigh...





Over all I'm happy that Sienna and Lucas got their HEA and sam and cilia are out of the picture. It was a good conclusion for the series but I just wish I would have been a little longer and had something grand in it. Even then, thank you Emily Snow for giving us Lucas Wolfe! <3
