I usually enjoy Leighton Greene's work, and I quite liked the first book in this series. But Sandro and Teddy were both characters I sort of hated in book 1 and being in their POV isn't making me like them any more.

I really enjoyed the plot of this book, and I also really liked the characters in it! This book really kept me guessing, and it was packed full of crazy things happening everywhere. There was a good amount of suspense, but not enough to make it feel really overdone. I feel like the relationship between Teddy and Sandro took a little time to truly grow on me, but Greene made all the right plays along the way to really convince me that they were a good pairing. I really enjoyed having so much of Jack in this book, and I was stoked to see Luca and Finch, too, even though it was very brief. I cannot begin to imagine how nuts this next book about Julian will be, but I am very much looking forward to it!
