A strong sequel

The writing may not be quite as slick as I've become used to in YA, but the story definitely hooks you in and keeps you turning pages!

Re-read 2024
My fucking heart just hurts so fucking much! I usually don't curse in my reviews but puh-lease! have you all read this book?!

The feel of reading this book was nothing short of what I felt the first time. I raged, teared up and felt too much the whole time just as the last time I read this book and God's above, even though I knew stuff, it still hurt like hell!

Maybe instead of just my heart, my soul took all the hurt and love from this book this time and made me a mess but it is worth it!

Shredded heart 💔
How can a book hurt so much?

Well ... It can 
As sharp as Andrew's knives and as strong as Neil's stupidity that helps him survive. This book made me pull my poor hair out.

The tension is seeped into each word of the book, the dark theme doesn't let up even for a second and damn the tension of everything happening just gets to us readers.

This installment was cruel, abusive and outright disastrous but I just couldn't stop reading for even a second. The little snippets of love in here shine so damn bright that it makes me politely push this book in everyone's faces to read it!

Only those with a strong heart though .. for all us dark ones 🖤
