I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This was the perfect ending to the Inferno Rising series. I loved the chemistry between Airk and Angelika, I felt it from the moment they meet on page. The push and pull between them was addicting. I couldn’t stop reading. I was on edge almost the entire story, but I feel everything was resolved really well. I do wish we were given more of the happily ever after, but I always wish to see how the couples get on later. I’ll definitely be rereading this series.

The Cursed King is the fourth and final book in the “Inferno Rising” series. Along with continuing the ongoing storyline where the dragon shifter clans attempt to rebel and remove the false high king, it tells the love story of Angelika, daughter of the previous king and phoenix with dormant powers, and Airk, a dragon shifter slated to be king of the White clan who had been held captive by the pretender for centuries before escaping.

After all her sisters fall in love and mate with the other rebel kings, and because her Phoenix powers have not materialized, Angelika feels the only thing she has to offer to help the war is to mate with Airk, even though he is potentially feral and not able to control his dragon side. Airk refuses her offer because he is afraid he might hurt her, and many stops and starts occur as they attempt to avoid what is clear attraction between the two of them. However, this book more than the other three seems to have less focus on the romance between them and more on finalizing the ongoing conflict in their world. It took advantage of the fact that much of the backstory for both characters had already been shared in the three other books, so the romance was more believable than the one in book 2, but I definitely felt myself wishing for more time with just the two of them, developing into something more solid than just lust. Overall I liked this book, and felt it was a satisfying ending to the series, but book 3 is still my favorite.

I was super excited when I saw this in my library! These books are just so easy to breeze through. Abigail really knows to to write an engaging story that is action packed with the right amount of spice. As a conclusion, I'd say the loose ends were tied well and in a satisficing way.

This is the fourth and final book in the series. This is Airk and Angelika's story. Angelika is a dormant phoenix and unlike her sisters is powerless which leaves her feeling as a burden as the war escalates. Airk is a damaged dragon shifter who has been in captivity and tortured by Pytheios for eons.

The story starts strong with the chemistry between the pair leaping off the page. However as this is the finale I think their story gets a little lost as many of the previous characters, including of course Angelika's three sisters and their Kings are a huge part of the action.

This was a well crafted story but I think it was so busy tying up the lose ends the romance itself in the second half was put on the back burner (no pun intended).

Brooding and emotionally damaged Airk Azdajah, and Fluffy soft and cinnamon roll Angelika Amon were my most anticipated couple of this whole series. After all the trials they’ve both been through, all I can say at the end is: what a fitting ending they both had.

First, let’s talk about the first half of the book which was basically “the main MCs relationship”, the back and forth love/rejection was immensely satisfying; I got my heart pulled in every direction, but at the same time extremely frustrating.
Airk was treating Angelika like a freaking doormat, and I was about ready to throw my phone to the wall with how much he was F-up in the head. I was like Angelika slap him and be done with him…

Nevertheless, it can’t be argued that many readers or I are more interested in the steamy make up session, and Abigail delivered with her constant reference to the Kama Sutra.
I had been educated LOL thank you Airk.

Second, let’s talk about the cast of characters in this world, funny enough, it’s not just the four sisters who get a chance to shine, this series finale pretty much drops in on every character who’s had any kind of a noticeable impact on the story and I liked that a lot. (even though some of them were pretty cheesy and forgettable, It was still good)

And there’s also Villainy Py, I felt like he’s character was drawn out to a degree that it mostly felt like the plot would never reach its climax and at some point I felt the story was stretched to the limits.
That’s my only complaints. I would’ve preferred that the mortally danger should’ve been sprinkled through the whole plot instead of it behind reduced to a terrific ending (I still enjoyed) which would’ve kept on my toes better.

Overall, Inferno Rising has been an incredible series. It’s been an absolute delight getting to read about all four couple and see them grow over the past four books. Loved the pairing very much. Especially SKYLAR and LADON
