"These violent delights have violent ends."

This story too shows similarities with Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. I don’t want to spoil it, so you’ll see when you read it. Just read it…!

The tables have turned and there’s so much chaos. In the previous book, Roma kept a secret from Juliette and protected her whilst Juliette held a grudge against Roma for betraying her. Now it is Juliette who is trying to protect Roma. So to sum it up: lovers turned enemies turned lovers turned enemies again.
It was a little frustrating, because I felt like she should have told Roma and they could have figured it out together. Like he said:
“You think so intently of protecting me that you did not consider whether I wanted to be protected. I would have rather died knowing you are as you are than lived a long life thinking you cruel.”
But of course as soon as Tyler notices Juliette’s misstep, he would swoop in and take over everything. The frictions were already escalating between the gangs, so Juliette is forced to pick a side.

There were so many emotional moments: Benedikt’s grief,
Rosalind’s and Tyler’s fate. Juliette did what she had to do to save Roma, but it broke my heart when she looked back to her past interactions with Tyler.
On the other hand, there were some very adorable moments as well, for example
when Roma and Juliette get married in secret! And the cute nicknames they have for each other! Oh, my heart…
“I take you, Juliette Cai,” Roma whispered in concentration, ”to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, until…” He looked up as he finished the knot. Paused. When he spoke again, he did not look away. "No, scratch that. To have and to hold, where even death cannot part us. In this life and the next, for however long our souls remain, mine will always find yours. Those are my vows to you.”

"Together or not at all, dorogaya," Roma whispered back. "I'm with you if we run. I'm with you if we fight."
No, I’m not crying. You’re crying!

This book was so much better than the first. 

I LOVED reading this book. The drama... the tense atmosphere... the romance, I just couldn't put it down! 

However, the reason its not 5 stars is because I felt like the ending could've been done better.
I wanted to see Marshall and Benedikt's happy ever after!!


Other than that, fantastic book, would read again
