This sequel was a great continuation from the first book. The world and the plot are expanded in this book which gave the book a bit more depth. I wasn't sure at the start if I was enjoy the direction it took but luckily things moved along quickly which I appreciated. Trigger warning that there is depictions of human trafficking and a slave auction in this book.
Tate James writes RH romance relationships so well and I enjoyed how the relationships progressed in this book. I also love when there is a "reason" for them to be together and this book delivered on this.
Still not the best writing in the world but I'm having a good time. 😂

So this book doesn't have any real big arch... And it stops on a cliffhanger... And it's mostly just smexy time. It's literal trash. HOWEVER, it's the trash that I love devouring!
The plot is still there! Goodness, did it have its twists! I found this so captivating in ways that book one just wasn't. I definitely love this over the first. Was it Vali? I mean, maybe. Was it Austin? Could be, could be... Maybe it was the River x Cole friendship? Oh... That's possible. Mmm And what about that Wes dream?
My favorite spicy trope is queen in this series, so pardon me while I devour it! (Smex will heal all!)

Getting kidnapped was one thing. Being trafficked was.... something. I feel as though there were pieces missing from that part of the story and it was too abrupt to put it together. But chasing the lead to Alaska was a great ride and I'm eager to see what Kit and her harem do now.
Quick read. Definitely keeps your engaged and wondering what will happen.

Thoughts: Really enjoyed this, will add to review later!
Okay well that escalated quickly.
After much confusion at the start of the first book whether this is a paranormal romance, it's definitely been cleared up now....OH DEFINITELY.
It's gotten a ton more spicy and even added one more delicious man to the mix. I'm still not seeing how Wesley fits into this, as he's simply too sweet compared to the roster of men in the harem.
I loved seeing the world building and magical lore being extended upon and am super intrigued what this will mean for the following books.
I do see tons of parallels to The Bonds That Tie (2021), one of my all-time fave series, which gave me this constant sense of deja-vue. It definitely took some time to shake off that feeling, seeing that it has so many things in common, like the fact it has two brothers (one of which hates her), she gets stronger the more men she bonds with, she needs to have sex with them in order to bond, etc etc
I've since been told that most of these tropes are fairly common in shifter romances, so I guess I gotta brush up on my furry books.

I was not expecting a whole new character to be added to the story. This one felt shorter, but still good. I’m intrigued by whats being set up here though the ambiguous enemy is a little annoying.
I enjoyed this much better than the first, which surprised me with how it started. I love drama and angst so this series is right up my alley. I love how the magic system is progressing, and how their relationship is progressing. I also am enjoying all of the unanswered questions & open plots (as long as they’re resolved in the future
