Vassago (Dark Soul Series Book 2)

Vassago is book 2 in the Dark Soul trilogy and book 1 - Stolas must be read first as it picks up right where Stolas left off. What a great book! I rarely leave 5 star reviews, but Vassago deserves it.Vassago, the demon, half-human prince of hell and a seeker has been trained by Lucifer to lose all traces of human emotions. He cannot afford to love Lore, the Aztec goddess, because to do so may mean her torture and death. While this book is titled Vassago and is about Lore and Vassago's journey, it is also a continuation of Stolas' and Hope's story. The book is told equally from 4 POVs- Vassago, Lore, Hope, and Stolas.Right from the first page I was drawn right in and I didn't want to put the book down. Randi Cooley Wilson does an amazing job in her world building and in character development. During this book, she continues to build on and expand on what happened in Stolas. We see Stolas/Stone struggling to do what he believes is right and Hope trying to claw her way back into reality and back to Stolas. Destinies are revealed and there are lots of twists and turns. There is drama, feelings of betrayal, as well as love. I was sad and frustrated when it ended, because the book 3 isn't out yet!

Love will make you go to the ends of the earth to protect the ones that you love. Hope is strong and willful. She loves with a fierceness that few are ever blessed with. With Vassago and Stone my head was in a tizzy! Two brothers that had to literally go through hell to have their chosen . This is not your sweet love story. This was no holds barred ,raw, by any means necessary kind of love story. They each held an immense weight on their shoulders. Stolas, Hope, Vassago and Lore each had a destiny and duty to fulfill. It was mind blowing reading the turn of events that had me completely freaking out! Her writing just draws you in with such strong emotions!

1st off - this book is much darker than I anticipated and I loved every minute of it.I was truly looking forward to this one and I was not disappointed. Seeing these characters grow as much as they did was truly satisfying. Hope is truly a catalyst for all events and changes seen in these series. Through her torment, her strength still shines through and motivates others to follow through on things they never though possible.This book is dark, with strong topics and some light moments but it truly is a beauty to read. Great follow up to Stolas.

Randi does it again! Her talent for writing about love is unique and no one else can compare to her. You feel for these characters and if you’ve never been in love, read one of her books! I’m not talking about lovey dovey let’s hold hands and have babies kind of love. I’m talking about passionate, raw, no turning back kind of love. The love that leaves you breathless, elevated heart rate and gives you goose bumps all over! I thought Asher and Eve were passionate! Man, Stolas and Vassago give Asher and Eve a run for their money! Read these books!!!

Vassago has more of a front stage placement in this than the first one, and you get to find out more about how everything led up to where it is. Hope is still struggling with reality, but with a little help from her friends, she is able to pull the veil out from over her eyes and see things as they are. Stolas is a little stuck. He is determined to keep Hope away from him to protect her, but she is determined not to let him. You have to read this book!! I give this 5 stars and two thumbs up!! Definitely a very good read.

I kept thinking through this story about that old saying, "Oh what wicked webs we weave, when first we practice to deceive". That sums this book up perfectly. What a damn mess. Can't wait for Lev and Avi's book, and to see how the rest of this plays out. I'm hoping the Aztec pantheon keeps it's word.

Randi Cooley Wilson once again drew me inti a deep, dark, and complex world that she has created. This is not your typical love story, this one is dark at times but so worth the read. What Vassago and Stone have to endure and overcome, is almost heartbreaking!! Hope continues to shine and fight!

I did not see that happening! And now I'm anxious for Leviathan <3 Vassago and Lore are an awesome team, I totally don't want to give too much away without ruining it for those who haven't read but all I can say is that you need to read Vassago. Then re-read Stolas!

It had been 18 months since I read Stolas, so re-reading it and then Vassago I was once again drawn into the dynamics of the characters. Once again, Randi has shown what each of the main characters and as couples will do for their loves to exist. Through her descriptions of the characters, the nine circles from hell you can visualise the scenes. It will be interesting to see how love will conquer in the final book in this series. Hopefully, we will not have to wait to long.

Vassago is the second book in the dark soul series.It did not disappoint. Randi Cooley Wilson has created a version of hell that sucks you in and you loose yourself in.I love the character's and all the angst that goes with the story.The ending nearly killed me off. The next book can't come quickly enough.
