This book was a tough read for me. I was interested in seeing how Ky and Lilah's romance worked out after reading the first book. Lilah was indoctrinated into her cult teachings and Ky was a wild, womanizing MC. The cult stuff ramped up even more in this book and was too much for me. I also had an issue with the way Lilah's character arc went towards the end. I didn't love that she didn't receive mental health counseling, nor did her sisters. That was a big miss in my book. That being said, I loved the way that Ky introduced Lilah to the modern world and that Ky and Lilah got their happy ending.

Slow burn but man was it worth the read. The character development is so in depth and I can’t help but feel like I am right there in this story line feeling all the emotions everyone is going through. This book had me in tears from the emotions it evoked. The ending was fast and juicy. Can’t wait for book three!
