This is definitely a product of 2007. I found myself enjoying the reread. Sometimes the foreshadowing felt a little heavy-handed, but that likely has more to do with me vaguely remembering random details from the first time i read it back in high school. I’m definitely going to continue the series because i’m so curious about what Neferet and Zoey’s relationship is going to look like now!

Better than book #1. The authors seemed to have figured out that the non-stop body-shaming and slut-shaming was annoying to read. However, it's not 100% gone in this book. Just less. The rude language is also decreased. There were a few instances of author intrusion regarding their personal opinions on certain subjects (i.e. sex) and it was extremely distracting.

Zoey is still pretty judgmental, and she still has a woman-hating problem. Her overall growth as a person isn't great, but this book only takes place a month (ish) after book #1. There's still hope.

This book was slower than book #1, but the story overall was more interesting.

I honestly liked this one more than the first one! I felt more of a connection to the characters. I was connected to them in the first book but with this one it’s even more. 

I love how we got to see both positive and negative sides to each character, and exactly the depths of Zoey’s powers. I also absolutely loved Aphrodite in this book! Even though she was crazy mean in the  first book and quite a bit in the second, her true self shined through as she helped zoey and her friends. I hope she gets some redemption in the next books. 

I didn’t like the recap in this book. It seems like the way the author recapped the first book was so repetitive. So many small details were said multiple times that it felt dumb and annoying. I really hope the next book there isn’t any recap, if we want to remember what happened in the previous book, just reread if.

I like this book's plot more than the last one but overall it is pretty much the same trash as the last one lol. Not saying it's bad, bc I am really enjoying myself while reading this but mostly just because the writing is absolutely terrible. If I delved deeper into the writing more than that, this review would take an hour to write because there is just so much terribleness to unpack so I'll just leave it at, I don't recommend reading this series if you want a genuinely good story but if you just want some fun then this is a great series to read.
