THIS WAS A JOURNEY, PEOPLEEEEEEEEEE.

PSA: This is a dark book and I went into it knowing that. They're not my fave books but I read them once in a while.

I liked this one. Kai Mori is more balanced than Michael (First Book), and so he had more interesting feature instead of JUST being an asshole.

And Can we talk about Nikova Banks? Girl... I need to take you to therapy YESTERDAY. I felt awful for her the whole book. Damon is a piece of shit.

I sense a Penelope Douglas pattern here... this book could've been 100 pages less. The mystery wasn't really misterious, I'm beginning to think that Douglas is just a little too in love with her ideas and repeats them a lot. It's still good, but I think it'd be a stronger book if it was filtered (not the evil/fucked up stuff, but the editing standpoint where you don't overstretch your scenes and plot devices.).

For Example, Banks being Damon's daughter was an interesting fact... for the first few dozen scenes. But when you freaking pull it until the (almost) whole book? It gets repetitive and low key boring. Michael not telling him? Weird.

I'm honestly worried about book 3... I don't think I can like Damon after all he's done.

I listened to this on Audiobook and enjoyed this dark twisted, romantic suspense following Kai and Banks. The audiobook narration is great!

From the first book I felt Kai was my favourite so I was so happy when I found out this second book is based on Kai and the mysterious love interest Banks. I love the flashbacks we see into the past with regards to Devils Night it keeps the plot and the mystery going. Kai as a character I love as he opened up due to some past flashbacks and struggles he was having. I love when there is a tough lead character but also sensitive. Banks was a fire cracker, for how she gets treated by her family she dresses in baggy clothes and I would say not as “put together” as she doesn’t want to be noticed definitely doesn’t want her secrets of who she really is revealed.

The spice was great and the scene in the confessional. Lord have mercy I say!

Excited to see what the next book has to offer.
