This book slowly unwrapped it's secerts at the perfect pace. In each chapter you get another tiny piece of the puzzle that only comes together at the end and still leaves you guessing right up until the last page. 
I also LOVE the use of second person pov.

Really good but it is from a second person perspective on the beginning which can be HARD to get a grip on

I found this book a little harder to follow than the first. It might be because I listened to it on audio rather than reading it. Or it could be because Harrow decided to fuck with the timeline of the first book. I still enjoyed it, especially towards the end, and will definitely be reading the sequel.
