Synopsis (Goodreads):

Two years after a bloody battle nearly tore his people apart, Kronus finds himself plagued with guilt and without a place to truly call home. And when he saves a blue-eyed human from a razorback, his world is once again turned upside-down. Though he once opposed relations with her kind, he is undeniably drawn to Eva’s pain, loss, and inner strength. He will do anything to protect her — and to possess her.

Eva had a perfect life. But a few seconds of blood and terror took everything away. Left crippled and alone, she sinks deeper into despair every day — until the ochre kraken who saved her forces his way into her life. She wants nothing to do with the overbearing, gruff, and pushy Kronus…at least at first. With neither of them ready to let go of the past, how can they hope for a future together?

Thoughts on Rising from the Depths: Good gravy, I didn't think I'd like Kronos NEARLY as much as I did. I mean, for all his intentions were good, his actions in the previous books spurred a civil war of sorts among his people. Yet I ended up liking the guy. SO MUCH.

He's taciturn and kinda grumpy, but he's changed since those early bloody days. His willingness to open his mind to possibilities (however grudgingly) made him a big, cuddly sour puss.

And Eva. OH MY GOODNESS. The way Kronos was there for her after her accident. The way he pushed her out of her guilt and depression and forced her to live again. I'm getting all swoony here. Seriously, though. I did adore that his pushed her. He wasn't always nice about it, but he gave her a target for her anger and accepted that her hard words weren't really meant for him when circumstances got her down.

I really REALLY liked these two together. Heck, I like everything about this series. The Kraken. The humans. The way the two species are trying to forge alliances. The sexy tentacle time. JUST EVERYTHING.

Next up...VASIL. I am ready!
