It’s been less than four weeks since Vex received a wedding cake facial, and Azure is close to breaking point. Trapped ruling a species just like herself, she feels a rage unlike any she’s ever known, and is certain that both she and the Psirens are irredeemable. With Poseidon’s voice still ringing in their ears, Vex finally finds the courage to reveal what he was trying to tell her the night of … of the Fischer wedding, and it might be just in time. Can Vex help Azure become the ruler that Poseidon expects of her; the ruler he knows she can be, and perhaps lay his own past to rest along the way? Or will the darkness consume them as they journey to a small English town in search of the last remnants of Azure’s long-lost daughter?
Join this dark duo as they learn not only whether it is possible to fight, but feel, by embracing the very shadow that makes them who they are.

I have yet to read a book by Kristy Nicolle that has not left me in awe of her fantastic and immense imagination. ‘Vexed’ did not disappoint in any regard. Admittedly, it takes quite some time to work one’s way through each book. But it is always worth it. I will undoubtedly read this, and all of the other books in the Tidal Kiss trilogy, again and again. Highly recommended.
Another incredible tale by Ms. Nicolle!
Holy cow! Talk about a HUGE change from the original trilogy!
Vexed was a continuation of Azure’s story, basically life after everything that had happened with the mer. How she’s handling her new life and her new role. We get to see a deeper look at what goes on inside her head after she’s given in to her darkness for so long and, I have to say, it’s incredible!
This story is not as light and carefree as the rest of the series, not that they were really light and carefree. Though, after this, they sure seem to be. LOL.
In this story, we learn more about Arabella, Azure’s daughter, and we take this journey of self discovery right along side her. It’s an incredible ride and, while I didn’t really like her snarky butt in the beginning, I actually really enjoy her as a character now. Vex too, even despite his little ‘thing’ with Callie. But that’s besides the point.
Needless to say, this was an amazing ride and I am grateful that I got a better understanding of these two characters!
5 out of 5 stars!
There is nothing more fun than seeing life from the eyes of the bad girl, and Azure is the psiren who could take us to the extremes. She’s wicked, dark, angry, and lonely, and deep inside, she needs to be loved even if it isn’t something she’ll admit. Being queen of the psirens isn’t an easy job, and she isn’t even sure she wants to do it. She certainly doesn’t believe it’s something she is equipped to do. So, she takes a break to find her future by searching through her heartbreaking past.
Of course, the story isn’t complete without the ultimate bad boy, and Vex fills that bill. Being a psiren himself, he chases after her, concerned for her welfare and wishing to help her find what she most desires. And, no one knows more about wicked desires than Vex.
That’s all you’ll get from me, but it’s a story you’ll definitely want to follow, full of the history of the two characters, along with heartbreak and soul searching, mixed with some steamy chemistry and excitement. I loved it from the first moment to the last.
I had a feeling that this book only focused on Azure and Vex but I was wrong on who was to be vexed. Azure feels trapped in a prison and goes on a road trip to find out about her past and find closure but found a different revelation. I completely enjoyed reading it. Great plot and story. I definitely recommend it.
When I was reading the Tidal Kiss Trilogy I loved the interplay between Vex and Azure; therefore, I am so excited that they star in their very own novella!
Azure is a very complex character and Kristy does an excellent job of building her personality. As she is hundreds of years old, and a Psiren who is trying to control her nature, she is very dynamic and special. Vex is much younger but he seems to understand Azure in a way no one else does. I love seeing his character develop more fully as we get to see into his past. Seeing what makes him tick drew me closer to him and I could then recognise how complex his character really is.
The world in Vexed is not as complicated as in the other titles in the Infiniverse; however, I still find it beautifully built. With a basic understanding of what a typical English village looks like I was able to envision their journey to find Azure’s daughter’s remains. I appreciate the effort Kristy puts into “showing” us where the story takes place.
Why don’t you pick this book up and give it a try for yourself? Find out if Vex helps Azure locate her daughter so she can become the queen he knows she has to be. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I do suggest reading the Tidal Kiss Trilogy first as this book falls after them and some events will not make much sense otherwise. Happy Reading!
