sajūta tāda, ka esmu tagad sarauta, izurbta, saplēsta un salikta no jauna. es nezinu, kā mam justies. es ienīstu beigu daļu, bet tajā pašā laikā tās ir tik labas beigas. man nav vārdu, lai pateiktu, kā es jūtos. šobrīd ir tikai gandrīz izžuvusi asara un bezemocionāla seja. es zinu, ka man sāp, bet es nejūtu neko. šausmas, šī grāmata ir fantastiska

Liked it more than the first one. But in my opinion some events were not as serious as the author made them to be. Therefore the characters had some extreme reactions so the book has more drama . That was my problem with the first book as well.Some things just felt too forced and came out of nowhere. Still enjoyable tho. Also loved Julian's pov.

this book was truly awful, the idea and characters were great, but the plot and execution were not. i honestly don’t know why i continued reading this series it is truly awful and i struggled to get through it, i just wanted it to be over.

Daisy Haites is the second book in the Magnolia Parks Universe. It follows Daisy Haites a second year medical student and her love interest Christian Hemmes who you would have met in the first book. It also follows Daisy’s brother Julian Haites who is a crime boss. 

Daisy is a badass who is easy to root for. She’s trying to balance her normal life of being a university medical student, with being the sister of one of the most powerful gang lords in England. Not to mention her off again, on again relationship with her childhood sweetheart, Romeo. Christian is struggling with his lingering feelings for Magnolia, and his new burgeoning feelings for Daisy. Even though he’s a gang lord as well doesn’t mean that he and Daisy are without conflict. Julian tries to do right by his sister, but will his crime lifestyle finally come between them? 

This is another emotional read from this series and I can’t wait to read the next one.
