I love that this is the second book in the series and I’m so blown away by it! The story was not what I was expecting and also exactly what I needed it to be. This book was kind of like an emotional pinball machine, bouncing from one disaster to another. But damn, did it have a satisfying but also cliffhanger ending.
I loved that we got to see so much of the Binder’s family history and that we got to see more of Adam’s family. Even if they are a truly fucked up tangled mess. I also really liked that we got to see so much more of Vic and his developing powers! I’m super excited to see where that goes. Also! The things happening with Silver and Argent?? I really need that next book now.
I really enjoyed reading this one and I can’t wait for the next book in the series! If you love urban fantasy books, this is definitely a series to check out. And I’m giving this one a solid four and a half stars.

This book was incredible and if you have not read this series yet, please hop on it immediately. I used to think that a book being "fast paced" was an inherently negative thing, but this one reminded me of how nuanced that is. While I feel the first book was a bit more medium, this one was fast without sacrificing plot or character development. That was often my issue with books being too fast paced... I felt that the plot would climax and conclude without satisfaction. This book was nothing but satisfying (yes, even the cliffhanger).
