I found this to be an enjoyable read especially after reading the first one because I had to see what happened next. The tension, drama and twists in this one was a good continuation of this series. There was a lot going on and it was definitely a wild ride which I enjoyed. I can't wait to read the next one.

3.5⭐, 2.5🌶️
I'm honestly not sure what to think about this book. My initial qualms were that I remembered soo little from reading Dishonestly Yours last summer. I WISH the book gave more subtle recaps early on in the book - there are so many things going on that I was so lost and had to go find other reviews that gave full recaps of book one. I strongly feel that if I read this book closer to book one I would have enjoyed it more.
At times I was so invested in the mystery of the characters backgrounds, and then they would start having these obscure conflicts or conversations where it made no sense and just felt like unnecessary filler to the book. Jake's involvement in this book made kinda sense, but also didnt. The book itself felt too long and without reason. The romance between Rocky and Pheobe felt very low-importance and was just there for super random spice scenes.
What in the world was going on with Hailey? Was she this quirky in book one and I just dont remember? The characters all have such weird side stories that paying attention to each of them felt impossible and I really ended up losing the feelings of investment in all stories. By 70% I was just drained and ready for the story to be over, then of course the last 20% was pure chaos and I loved it.
Sorry my review for this book is basically "I honestly dont know whther I liked this book or not."
Sorry, not sorry (but kinda sorry). I loveeed book one and this one was just a totally different experience for me reading.
Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

💭 Thoughts:
I honestly love the twins style of writing. It took me a minute to get back into this universe but once I was in, I was IN.
The second book in the Webs We Weave series. The series follows two families who are con artists.
I loved seeing more of the siblings interactions and getting some questions answered after the first book’s cliffhanger 👀
Many twists and turns - some I predicted, others I did not.
Character chemistry platonic, familial and romantic was expertly executed.
I felt that the end of the book came to a random halt and I’m glad there was a hint at the next book otherwise I would have been confused if the series had ended or if we were due more books. But I’m so excited that there is going to be more.
I’m hoping for more Nova and more Oliver in book 3 🤞🏼

“Your love is really big, you know? It’s the sort of ride-or-die love that makes it impossible to feel alone. It’s why no one wants to leave you. It’s why I never would.”

These books are such messes. But they’re fun messes.
I was counting down the days for Destructively Mine after falling head over heels for the first book in the series. The characters instantly pulled me in, and I couldn’t wait to see how their stories unfolded. This series does such a great job balancing the push and pull between family loyalty and the desire to carve out your own path. There’s this raw emotional tension around choosing what’s best for yourself while still feeling tied to your roots—even when those roots are tangled or morally messy.
In this second book, long-buried truths finally rise to the surface. We get deeper insight into the six friends and siblings—how their pasts shaped them, how their relationships intertwine, and how their bonds with their parents continue to influence them. It’s a powerful look at how family trauma, shared memories, and personal growth all collide. The story reminds us that family isn’t just about blood—it’s about connection, understanding, and the people who stand by you through the hard stuff. I’m so excited to see where these authors take the series next!

Woah. I liked the first book in this series but I LOVED the second one!! I’m late to reviewing my ARC of this one but that’s not because I don’t love it! I love Pheobe, she is for the strawberry girls!!!!!!! Rocket again does the “hates everyone but her” trope PERFECTLY! We get the perfect amount of spice from them while also keeping fully focused on the overall plot.
I like that we are following Pheobe and Rocky but for this book, the “side characters” stole the show for me! Jake has my HEART! I need to give Hailey a hug. Someone needs to hold Oliver! And Trevor…. I’m speechless.
I love this family on con artist and I love watching them plan out everything even when the plan gets screwed up. I will definitely be looking for the next one
Thanks NetGalley and Berkeley Publishing Group for the arc
