Still tons of questions, as mentioned in my review of the first book. And.... these questions continue, thoughts notes below.
- Cat? (that's it. that's the question) Poorly written character that didn't start to have substance, besides "Mean girl", until later in the book and then for someone who was so 'pivotal' she just.... vanished in the late second half of the book.
- Violet somehow gets more childish in this book? How did we stall out with her character growth in such a long second installment?
- The fighting between her and Xayden draaaaaged on. It became very wash, rinse, repeat. I grew weary of it.
- There are now so many side characters that I'm getting them confused...
The plot twists were (slightly) less visible in this book than the first, there was one notable thing that caught me by surprise.
Overall this book was.... dramatic. Tense, emotional and full of various kinds of drama, but with very little character growth compared to what we saw in the first book.

I liked book 1 so much better. If book 3 goes through the same miscommunication/ lack of communication and all the drama between Violet and Xaden I feel like I might have to DNF this series. Book 2 was written too fast and I would rather RY take her time and do it right then rush through it... Keeping my fingers crossed for book 3.
