To summarize: Riley spends an unforgettable evening with her former celebrity crush/rockstar, Aiden. The next morning Aiden has been accursed of sexually assaulting Riley and becomes a social pariah. For many reasons Riley can not come out and refute the claims but is being blackmailed. So she “kills” herself and goes into hiding. Three years later, Aiden is obsessed with her and makes it his life’s mission to find her.
I liked this book a lot! All the characters were fun and the story was actually believable. Sometimes in books like this you wonder the whole time, who’s the bad guy going to be?! This one made sense!
P.S. Aiden is soooooo dreamy

I think this book was a bit better than the first one, only because I couldn’t get over the first one being a bit too incest(y) for me. I felt like it was too fast paced and there was a lot of things that were left unfinished. Regardless, I did enjoy it more than the 1st book.

I really want to love Aiden James but some of the stuff he did was kind of irredeemable to me. Like sure I get it, heat of the moment, he didn't have specific information, yadda yadda.
However, he literally SA'd Riley - even if she "liked it" because her body reacted. It feels like so many SA survivors are discredited because their body made them react a certain way. She even said no at one point. That gave me the ick. Also the whole lotion thing?? What the f. Idk maybe I'm too much of a stickler for consent in dark romances.
I did like the suspense aspect of it but it felt like that plot point kinda flowed in and out and wasn't really a constant like your expect from a more traditional romantic suspense. I did like the relationship between Riley and Boyd growing, and I loved Fiona as a side character. I would have loved to have had more details on the Caleb situation because that feels like it was concluded really abruptly behind the scenes. Overall this was an enjoyable story, but there were some things I could not get past.
