Solid 4 stars. It was so good. Maybe a tad slow at times but the pacing fit the story. 

The ending though! Holy shit. I need book 3 now!

3.0

It's slow to read for the first 2/3 of the book, it starts twisting and turning after that and the end leaves the reader a bit bewildered and anxious about the next book. Not her best, good. Hoping that the rest of the series improves. Still excessive use of the word F--- which is fine but it's like a word just discovered by a child and is somehow used at least once a page. 

Severe lack of diversity.
