The Penitent is the second book in the Sacrifice duet, and Willow and Azrael need to find a way to break the curse. They have fell in love and Willow has become pregnant, but they are still under threat. This time, Willow and Azrael work together to fight the threats in their house and of their house while they fight the past to earn their future. I enjoyed the ending and their relationship. I enjoyed the character and the romantic chemistry, and I enjoyed the conflict that they had to overcome (not a 3rd act break up) in order to earn their HEA.
