I requested this before knowing it was a spin off of her other book series... that I have not read yet. After reading reviews I feel like this wouldn't be for me so I won't be reviewing. No fault to the book so still reviewing 5 stars so I won't hurt the rating.

Wow. What a read. I thought These Hollow Vows was going to just be Duology, but Lexi Ryan has now made it a series with TWO duologies! In the first two books, we follow Brie’s journey. During this duology, we follow her sister, Jasalyn, and a new character, Felicity.

We change back and forth between both POVs, and just when you are hooked and invested in what is happening in the chapter, the chapter changes to the next POV. Both these women are interconnected and you become invested in their stories.

You do not need to read books one and two but it would make more sense to do so. I wish I had re-read them before diving in. Just like These Hollow Vows, Beneath These Cursed Stars ends on a cliffhanger. I was lucky enough to get book two on Netgalley, so I am currently reading Between These Broken Hearts.

This story was awesome and I am excited to keep reading. There is a lot to keep up with in this world, so that did get confusing at times. I did not love the whole "ring" situation. I liked the idea of it, but some of the aspects felt confusing. If you are a fantasy lover, make sure to check out this awesome series.

Read if you love:
Slow burn
Angst and tension
Betrayal
Being on the edge of your seat

I love Lexi Ryan's writing. It was great to be back in the hollow vows world. I liked the dual pov and the character development was great. It was a fun read and I can't wait for the next one to come out. Even if you didn't read the first 2 this can be read alone, but adding to the first two made it even better.

A fun new addition to Lexi Ryan’s universe! This took me a little while to get into, but I ended up really enjoying it. Anyone who is a fan of fae should read this ASAP!

This was an amazing continuation of These hollow vows duology. It felt good being back into that world. I love how the author writes, she packs so much action and plot. There's awesome character development as well. Can't wait for what else she has in store for us!

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC!

I LOVED this book. Lexi Ryan does such a great job weaving an intriguing story that readers will fall in love with like I did!! I would highly recommend this read to anyone who loves fantasy books!!

When I started I didn’t realize it was part of an existing universe, but it worked without reading the other books. I enjoyed spending time in this world. The magic was fun and I’d love to read more.

What a magically cozy read! I loved falling into this world, and cannot wait to complete the duology.

I’m left having so many questions by the end of this. I cannot wait to pick up the next book and dive back in. It makes me want to read Brie’s story now too. I will say I feel like the world building / magic system could have been dived into more, but maybe that’s because I haven’t read Brie’s books.

Now that was a revelation I did NOT see coming 🤯🤯

OMG this newest start to a duet following These Hollow Vows and These Twisted Lies was so freaking good!! It took me a minute to get settled back into the world given it’s been a minute since I read Brie’s story, but once I was in, I DEVOURED it!

Don’t be fooled though: while this newest read focuses on a new character—or characters, as it were—it’s definitely a continuation of the duet that came before. Goodreads has it right in saying this is book 3 of the These Hollow Vows series. There may be several years before the ending of the Abriella’s duet and the beginning of Jasalyn and Felicity’s stories, but they are of the same world and the same conflicts and are definitely best read in order.

🌠Forbidden romance

🌠Magic with a cost
🌠Revenge quests
🌠Hidden identity
🌠Kind of found family vibes

A shadow princess and a special shapeshifter make up the two main characters in this tale. Both girls help us to learn more about the past and its secrets with nightmares (Jas) and memories dreamed (Felicity) as the tale goes on. Both the FMCs of this novel have quite the journey to go on, both literally and mentally. Jas is flirting with her own form of darkness and temptation with power that most definitely will have a cost. Felicity is tackling her own struggles having lived in so many faces not her own. Both storylines were equally engaging to follow and tied together even while the girls were so far apart on their individual quests.

Honestly, with the revelations of the ending, I am anxiously awaiting the release of the second book 👀👀👀

“And what if you find yourself living beneath nothing but cursed stars?”
“Then you go find yourself a world with a whole new night sky…and some friends that will show you how to get there.” (Such a good interaction!! 🥹)

I really enjoyed the These Hollow Vows duology, and was really excited to find out that there was going to be another book based on Jasalyn. I honestly might have enjoyed this book better than the original duology as well.

Jasalyn and Felicity both being young woman who have suffered and have so much fear in them was an interesting read. I knew Felicity's story was going to hurt from the moment I found out she'd be disguising herself as Jas. And watching Jas figure out what she did on an impulse because of the fear and rage inside of her also broke my heart.

Misha and Kendrick need to be better for my girlies in book two.

As someone who has read These Hollow Vows duology by Lexi Ryan, I was excited to dive into Beneath These Cursed Stars, the third book in the series. It’s definitely a continuation of the complex world Ryan has built, and I highly recommend reading the previous books before tackling this one. Trust me, plot-wise, you’ll want to be up to date to fully appreciate the stakes and character arcs.
Beneath These Cursed Stars amps up the twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. The ending, of course, leaves you hanging— cliffhanger style—which will have you anticipating the next book. If you’ve enjoyed the world-building and character development in the first two books, this book will absolutely pull you in. It’s a thrilling read that sets the stage for the next book perfectly!

I loved These Hollow Vows so I knew I would love this too! I would recommend reading the first two books prior to this one or you might feel a little bit lost.

Before diving in, check the trigger warnings. And note that this has a cliffhanger ending!

Fantasy romance is my everything, so this was right up my alley. I love a slow-burn with some nice banter! And a little bit of twisty-ness. I love Felicity but overall I was kind of missing the plot.

3.5 Stars but rounding up!

I’m looking forward to the next book!!

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins for the ARC!

While I really tried, I just didn’t find myself engaged in this story. I think it just wasn’t for me, but I think many will enjoy.
I did really like the first two in the series.

This world sucked me in! I devoured this book. So good! I did go back and read the previous duology in this world first and it was worth it!

I got this book when it was free to read on here although i habit read it yet I'm not sure if I'll ever read this book because I am slowly moving away from young adult fantasy.

This was a great fantasy read! I don't usually love Dual POVs but this book developed it really well. The plot felt unique and immersive, with great characters that I easily connected to and rooted for throughout the book! Definitely recommend giving this one a read!

Please. I love this series. This is an excellent continuation of the series and I cannot wait for more books!

Loved this book! The ending will leave you completely hanging which is a terrible thing to do, but still what a ride and I need the next. I thought this was a new series by this author, but it is actually book 3 in the These Hollow Vows series, which I have previously read and enjoyed- but I read this with other people who have not read the previous series and still enjoyed this with no backstory or explanation needed.
Talk about a twisty, convoluted story! You end this book not knowing who is good or evil or what will happen next and it was such a good read. Pick this series up if you like the political machinations of the Fae as well as all the heartbreak of forbidden love.

OMG! Beneath These Cursed Stars is an absolute MUST READ!! From the very first page, I was completely hooked. Lexi Ryan’s writing is phenomenal—so vivid and emotional, it practically pulled me into the world she’s created. The characters are rich, layered, and so easy to connect with, and the romance? Incredible! I couldn’t get enough of the chemistry between the leads. Add in the perfect mix of mystery, danger, and twists, and this book is impossible to put down. The pacing was spot on, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Seriously, if you haven’t read this yet, what are you waiting for?! It’s a total game-changer, and I’m already counting down the days until the next book!
