Hideaway’s plot was better than Corrupt’s but only after the halfway point. The spice was better too, more adventurous. I do feel sorry for Damon, even if he’s fictional, no one deserves that kind of torture.

Loved this book just as much as Corrupt! I love the fast-paced writing style and Douglas's exploration of Predator/Prey dynamics while still making consent and safety the number one priority. The gang's still dealing with previous events, with more and more drama piling on top. It's all exactly what I was looking for in the second installment. Can't wait to read Killswitch!
