The slow unfurling of the mysteries and the slow unfurling of the relationships are well done despite some very dark background context.

You're the girl I killed for and you're the woman I'd die for. 

I didn't like it as much (but I didn't   expect it anyway) as the previous book. Whereas in the previous one I felt a kind of spark, here now I felt that everything was gone. 

Morana seemed to have relapsed, not very, but meaningful enough for me to feel. She remained strong and persistent, but something changed about her that I can't put anywhere inside myself and don't want to. I couldn't leave Tristan like that any more, everything I feared had happened inside him, he had become the kind of person I was unable to identify with in any way. Dante is the tip of my heart, I just loved him so much that I almost regret not wanting to continue this book—at least not now. 

The love I praised so high was transformed, in my own way, into something different that I'm not sure if I like. Possesive, overprotective, and forced became the whole thing, which I don't like. 

This time, the plot was more fast-paced than the previous one, and a lot more secrets are revealed — ones that cannot be ignored. In short, everything was shattered by this book, but in the best sense of the word, we got new connections to the past and a new perspective, and all I'm sure is that this isn't the end, far from it, Luna deserves to know that her brother fought so hard for her. The pace was a bit slower for me than it should have been, but the time jumps weren't distracting at all. The end is open, but not so urgent. 

I'd say all in all, one went away, it wasn't outstanding, it wasn't burn-shaking, maybe a little shocking, but none of it was strong enough to necessarily jump to the next book.

This time Morana and Tristan made more sense and they fit together better. Plus everything wasn't so repetitive.

Second book in the dark verse and I loved this book so much. And that ending! Wow. 

A gazillion stars if I could give it that. Now off to binge the next book

something about this series just scratches the itch in my brain just right. like, i loved it. i wish i could erase it from my brain and then read it for the first time again. there were so many cute moments in this book; tristan and morana are so special to me. 

to be honest i’m not mad at tristan’s lack of ability to outwardly express his emotions or to communicate because he has spent the majority of his life being a brick wall, saying nothing and showing no emotion, so i feel like it wouldn’t be easy for him to just break that habit. there are several instance in which he expresses himself or shows he cares for morana through his actions even if he doesn’t use words to say how he feels.

also, something i like about this series is that aside from the romance aspect there is a continuous storyline like with the alliance and now the syndicate. it feels like a big mystery that we are unraveling with each book

anyway, i loved the predator and the reaper. i’m going to miss tristan and morana, but i’m excited for the rest of the series!!
