Do yourself a favor and read the dedication…I laughed so hard I almost cried. 
I am getting emotionally invested in each of these characters and I get mad about that. Saint is pretty close to pure evil, but then you get to his POV and you see some redemption. I think I would have a hard time forgiving Blake too. And Kyan, I really appreciated getting some context to what has him all messed up. And Nash is just Nash. 
The last 50 or so pages of this book had me by the throat. I am really interested to see the course of the next 2 books after how it ended.

Really loved this book a lot, I think this may have been the first book to ever make me laugh out loud several times.

The cliffhanger?! THAT ENDING. Goodness did things escalate quickly. I am so glad I don’t have to wait for book three or I’d be a nervous wreck. I just love their writing style and how they can make me hate/love the characters so much as usual. Onto the next!
