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

This book continues with the couple from the Predator, Morana and Tristan. More secrets are revealed, especially towards the end. Their relationship is explored more, and new hidden identities?!

You get to see so much more from Tristan and Dante's home, and Morana's confidence. This book made me go pick up the next one immediately. 

Always check trigger warning!

I wasn’t sure where this mystery was going until it unraveled in front of my eyes, so absolute kudos to the writer. I still think Tristian could talk more, but I’m less mad at him. Morana was awesome. 

Dark Romance, Enemies to Lovers, 3 1/2 🔥

Not as good as the first one but I still really enjoyed it. I loved seeing their relationship blossom and seeing more of who Tristan is. Loved the found family vibes. The plot progression at the end was also beautifully executed.

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.
