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!

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.
