this was excellent! i can’t even decide whether i’m team victor or team eli…i find myself being kind of both. though, victor is definitely my favorite character. i did love that we got eli’s backstory. personally, there were mixed emotions because it made me like him more but also he’s a serial killer so i probably shouldn’t…
i can’t forget to mention mitch, sydney, and dom. i thought they were quite the team! i loved them all together with victor tbh.
as for the new characters we got introduced to, i really liked june and marcella. i thought they were a great addition to the story. marcella was for sure the most badass out of everyone. june was cool too, especially her power. she was just a tad bit annoying when it came to her friendship with sydney.
and if we are getting a third book…i’m so curious to see how this could all play out omg!!

I absolutely loved this book! I enjoyed it more than the first one. I loved getting to explore the complexities of Victor and Eli and learning about new characters. This world is just so interesting. I love the whole theme that no one is purely good or purely evil. Everyone has their own complexities to them which is something that this book explores really well.
