I wanted so much more from this story, but it just didn't deliver. The plot was choppy and it seemed like our main characters just spent all their time f*cking and fighting. I hoped for more after the first book was so good.

I hoped for more from this book. While there were a couple plot twists, they weren’t as explosive or mind-blowing as I feel they could have been. The majority of the book was Adrian upsetting Isolde, Isolde being a bit whiny, make up sex, then repeat. I had hoped for so much from this story, and the tale seems to have been plotted out to have some major points, but the sex was over-done and the action was under-developed. Even the ending, which should be a cliffhanger, didn’t read as one
adventurous challenging dark emotional tense

I guess I don’t know what I was expecting with book two, I rated book one the same but still had high hopes for this one.
The fighting between the main characters is so exhausting. They both were extremely one dimensional and at no point was I rooting for them, I was actively rooting for anyone else.
That being said, I couldn’t put the book down. It’s like a car crash where you can’t look away, and reading the author’s note after where she says it’s written in four weeks…yeah babe we can tell.
I don’t know if I’ll continue with the story, I probably will because I’ve come this far already, but I’m not so eager for it to come out and I hope it actually takes a bit longer so it’s good?

This is a nope for me. 96% and I had to DNF. I was so incredibly bored.

This books reminds me of those YouTube short videos where someone is blending a random mix of ingredients that should not be together to form a chaotic drink. Like, the writing is okay but there was so much going on at once.

Its been a few months since I listened to the first book, so perhaps I forgot the feel of the first one. However, this one didn't live up to how I remember the first one being. The main characters fought a lot which took away from the story. It felt like it was all just fighting and sex; don't get me wrong, I like a smutty book, but so much of it took away from the plot. The ending of this book also just felt so abrupt. You learn some information and then it ends in a weird way.
I don't know, I just wasn't as into this book as I was the first one.

The plot was so much better in this book but I had a lot of trouble remembering what happened in the first book. Recommend rereading before starting this one.
