A great follow up to Vicious. More time with these intriguing characters and their dark passions. I truly did not know how the clash between Victor and Eli was going to end.

I loved this book so much. I usually am not a fan of book two but this was better than the first.

 4.5 rounded up! I'm so glad that Victorious is coming, that ending sure is a hanger.

rosecoloredbooks's review against another edition

I really enjoyed Vicious so I was excited to start the sequel, but I struggled with the physical book so I picked up the audio. It started out fine but felt completely different from Vicious. I felt like it was dragging and the whole segment with Eli's backstory could've been done in the first book without problem. I wasn't fond of the new characters and it felt just... less.

I really liked this book. It was a great continuation of vicious and added a lot more interesting aspects.

The story was beautifully crafted. It created lot’s of loose threads, sending you into different times and to different characters. Slowly the story comes together. It should be complicated. It should have confused me. But somehow the complexities of the story were threaded together so elegantly, it barely was any effort. 
I like how at first you don’t even know what the plot of the book will be and it’s just about creating the story for these characters. 

Loved June as an addition to the story. However, I wasn’t a fan of Marcella. I didn’t like reading from her perspective and had to drag myself through those bits. She just falls flat in contrast to the other amazing characters. 

I wished for more Eli and Victor together. I know logically, that would’ve been really difficult to do. But those two together are so much fun to read. 

Overall a really great book. Beautifully written, wonderful characters and interesting story.
