mmh would have been 2 if I liked banks I did like the start of the book highlighting how much Kai has changed and then it was never addressed again the only thing that kept me gking was Damon I’m so interested in his character and WILLL he was so quiet I can’t wait to step into his mind but yeah no this book was boring

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 like Kai better than Michael, but I don’t like Kai and Banks as much as I liked Rika and Michael. I felt like there was more to their story and relationship than Kai’s. But I do enjoy Kai’s character, his development, and mostly everything about him. I did find this to be a lot slower of a read than Corrupt, took nearly 300 pages for the first kiss?! Talk about a slow burn.. Overall I like this book though and still rated it a 4 as I enjoyed reading it the whole time, even with some eye rolls and annoyance here & there.
