Solemn Vows

"This is but a herald of the trials that await."

Deep inside the Bone Men cult, Penny and Kit have passed the point of turning back. If they want to survive, they have to make it through the remaining six Oaths of initiation, each one more twisted than the last.

Kit works quietly, piecing together a plan to bring the cult down from the inside, but nothing about it is simple. Not with Penny’s brother watching their every move, doing everything he can to make sure they fail.

With danger now lurking around every corner, Penny can’t help but wonder if finishing what they started is worth the cost. If they keep going, they might not make it out whole.

They may not make it out at all.

Praise for Solemn Vows

There’s something utterly captivating about a soft, warm, slow-burn love story unfolding amid a cult of death and bones. The contrast shouldn’t work—but it does, and it pulls you in. This book wrecked me in all the expected ways (shock, tears, emotional damage duly reported to the group chat), but it also surprised me with how much light and joy it carried alongside the darkness.

Kit and Penny both come with their burdens, and instead of it continuing to hollow them out with guilt and shame, they share it with one another and become more sturdy because of it.

We burrow deeper into affection with some of the cast from the last book - and deeper into loathing for others, and the stakes of the Oaths, as promised, get higher and higher.

Penny and Kit change through the events of the first two. Penny couldn't stay all sunshine and happiness after witnessing the horrors of the Bone Men, and I'm extremely glad that that side of his personality was explored! Likewise, I loved Kit becoming the sweet man he likely always was. Seeing his trust and love for Penny grow with every chapter was breathtaking.
