My god I wanted top like this more.

I loved the characters and found that anyone new introduced that was meant to player actually had some impact into the story. With such a bit cast through it did feel like we jumped around a bit.

I really liked the major plot, though I agree with complaints that this book could have been shorter. In saying that the length didn't take away for me.
The issue I had the most with this book was the lack of chemistry between Bryce and Hunt. As is, Hunt was not a favourite character of mine but at least in the previous book I could feel the sexual tension and chemistry between them. In this book it has all but disappeared, which makes it hard to believe and enjoy some of the written scenes.

The ending was 10/10 though. Hoping book 3 comes out soon.

I absolutely loved it!! Would be 5/5, but the last 150 pages or so had so much plot it was hard to follow.

Alright, so I needed some time to think about this book and the review I wanted to give.

First, I still love this world. I love how there are different houses and I finally understand the whole worldbuilding that Sarah did. In the first book; I was definitely lost. 

The writing is still pretty great, but simple. It manages to drag you in without using very complicated words, even for an adult series. I guess this is because of her YA books and being in that category most of the time. 

The book follows Bryce and her friends some months after the incident with the demons. And I'm glad there are some characters you haven't been introduced yet and a huge part in this book, even if it doesnt really seem like it. This book had a very nice flow when it came to the time between events. It didnt feel too slow, but also not fast paced. However, I didn't enjoy the sex scenes after reading literally 5 of them. I get that Bryce and Hunt are literally Horny dogs, but reading about cocks hardening made me eventually just cringe. And the scenes between Bryce and Hunt aren't the only horny scenes. I started skipping pages, because I was more interested in the plot. 
When I got a little bit over half way of the book, I simply couldn't put the book down. The rush I got in every chapter was unreal. Plot twist after plot twist. Eventually I thought I knew who was what, but I was definitely wrong when it was revealed.

Overall, I can't wait for the third book. The second book was made for the spicy readers, but the plot still made me enjoy the book... A lot.
