This book was a tough read for me. I was interested in seeing how Ky and Lilah's romance worked out after reading the first book. Lilah was indoctrinated into her cult teachings and Ky was a wild, womanizing MC. The cult stuff ramped up even more in this book and was too much for me. I also had an issue with the way Lilah's character arc went towards the end. I didn't love that she didn't receive mental health counseling, nor did her sisters. That was a big miss in my book. That being said, I loved the way that Ky introduced Lilah to the modern world and that Ky and Lilah got their happy ending.

CW: violence, cult activity, child physical and sexual abuse, rape, neo-Nazis

I liked in this book the difference between Lilah and her sister. I liked how at just one moment she didn’t just decide she didn’t believe in her religion, and instead braced a more loving side of it instead.

Lilah story is so heartbreaking and I am so happy that she has finally found peace with a man like Ky that cares and loves her.
They learnt so much from each other and the storyline was defo better than the first book but I still can't get used to all the cursing, it completely ruins the book for me.

Lilah broke my heart over and over again, because her mind truly protected her from the trauma by being 100% indoctrinated. The fact that she found happiness at the end and was able to see The Order for what it truly is… 

And Ky, our resident whore. Ain’t nobody have the patience like this man. He was gonna fight for Lilah, even when she could not.

2/5 on the spicy scale. A few sweet scenes we get, where Lilah finally experiences sex.

This book was very heavy on the horrors that Lilah went through.
