Even though I found this book sort of confusing, I very much enjoyed it. I couldn’t stop reading it. I think the first book set my expectations for how this world/ storytelling is, where things just don’t quite make sense. But that’s okay because Darlington is out of hell! Looking forward to the third book.

This was a wild ride.
In the middle I was quite overwhelmed and I didn't feel like the different threads were connected and didn't understand what was everything about. But at the 75% mark I thought, this is genius, everything is connecting, this is interesting, this could be fun. 
In the end, I felt she overdone it a little bit. The plot twist started coming and they didn't stop coming and it felt like too much of a good thing. 
Also, I'm still not over

the vampires, even if the twist on this concept is quite interesting.

I'm a little bit sad, that this took the time to bring all the loose ends to an end and she still choose to not let this be finished and let it open for another book. 

The rabbit broke me. I was sobbing so bad.
