A further exploration into the world-building and characters at hand, this time we follow Kai Mori, who is desperate to get ahold of childhood lover-turned enemy Nikova Banks, to find Damon Torrance and bring him to justice for his crimes.  However, Banks is smart and more loyal to Damon than the other Horsemen realise.  The plot for this series only seems to get better and better, with always-promised spice and an increasing plot as tensions rise.

I am shocked at how much better this one is than the first. Kai still has issues with misogyny, but not nearly as bad as Michael or Damon.

These books are just not enjoyable at all personally. I mean it feels like there's not enough of a steady plot but too much at the same time, so much doesn't make sense, it's really just a depressing mind fuck with occasional regular fucking. Like the story surrounding them is pretty bad too
