4.0

The story was absolutely amazing, and would have been 5 stars except for the interactions between Violet and Cat. I don't believe she added anything to the story besides angst for Violet and to serve as the "jealous bitch". I just don't think a strong woman, note WOMAN not teenager, would care? Also, the constant "can I trust him?" "oh woe is me" from Violet got old...Xaden is literally leading a revolution and it's silly to get upset over the stuff he "hid" from her when most of the time it was secrets keeping her/the nation/himself safe. It's very immature of her, and I fully take Xaden's side in it... Having secrets doesn't mean the person doesn't love you, especially if the secret can get you or someone you care about killed. Lastly, the twist ending makes me a little concerned especially with the "you'll be the greatest enemy" line... I will be forever upset with the author if she makes that a reality and the next book isn't about fixing what happened.

Amazing, I can’t wait for the next one!! Going to start over and re-listen knowing what this book revealed about the characters.

Dear Lord I hope that 3rd book is coming out fast. This had me screaming internally up to the very end.

Well… I was hoping I would like this book more than all the negative reviews I’ve heard about it… but alas, I also did not love this book… 
It wasn’t terrible & I’m invested enough in the story to read the next one… but in this one… the characters became insufferable & repetitive! 
They were just SO whiny & about the same f***ing issue over & OVER! 
I also felt that the last book let you discover things at the same rate as the main character, but in this book she would figure stuff out & because you as the reader have zero context for what the explanation could be you just end up listening to her be like “oh gods…” with no empathy…
Also, same complaint as last book with all the sex scenes. How can two people be so horny ALL the time!? I’m also not a fan of the “you’re mine” declarations every two sentences. It’s not hot, just unhealthy.
