First off, graphic audio is awesome. So much fun to listen to. 

I read this when it first came out and loved it. Second time around the plot is still exciting and it’s still worth a read, but I would warn that the author is very clearly a bit toxic. Men behave in a way that is very obviously sexual harassment but that’s brushed off as harassment. A lot of stock is put in the virginity and purity of female characters. There’s a lot of boys will be boys type thinking that just doesn’t fly anymore. 

The main female character is gang raped as her first sexual experience. A few days later she seeks to make it better by immediately having sex with someone else. Throughout the books she and the people around her seem to be deeply focused on her sexuality. I feel like the author’s sexism is showing constantly.

I enjoy this book, but my largest concern was that it felt VERY male-centered. There is one primary character who is a woman, and she serves largely as

the love interest for every other male character.

This frustrates me to NO end, especially when

she is sexually assaulted and then throws herself at the main character the very same night.

This is incredibly misleading and unrealistic, not to mention damaging to survivors of assault. Toxic masculinity is explored well, but misogyny is not.
