Ugh. This book. I did not enjoy the first book so I didn't expect to enjoy this one either but holy shit did this one really double down on its terrible terribleness. My reasons why will be the content warnings, I just don't think these things need to be explicitly described to be impactful. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 0 because at least you do get to see the FMC heal from her trauma (sorta?) and get revenge. Predictable? Yes. Satisfying? Also yes. If you decide to read this duet do so knowing that it is dark dark dark and also dumb dumb dumb.

This book is so much darker than the first one. It made it hard to get through the first part of the book. I also think the book should have been shortened a little bit. The violence and dark subject matter turned me off a little.

This book is frustrating because it's entertaining... But also really screwed up. Like... Really screwed up. I don't recommend it.
