This just didn’t live up to the first book. 

I loved the idea of getting Holder’s perspective, but there were so many parts of this book that were absolutely cringe-worthy. 

Getting the insight into Les and Holder’s relationship was great, but I hated Holder as a narrator. For example,

him kissing Sky while she was asleep was absolutely NOT ok and it was really frustrating that it was played off as romantic when in reality that’s bordering on SA
