Very good book! Great development from the first book. Took me a while to read as I was in a reading slump but love it. Hope there will be a third one.

Marginally better than Haunting Adeline but there's still a huge disconnect and a very confusing ethics system with the MMC. I like Addie; I’m glad she regains her power and I started to like the evolution of their love, but the writing is a miss for me. It often feels like it’s reaching for edginess without much success, and I mostly couldn’t  wait for the smexy scenes to be over because they always feel very inauthentic and almost boring. 

I’m interested in the Molly story and I feel like I may regret it, but I don’t think this author’s style is for me beyond that. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2.75 ⭐️
