A great second book in the series, I love knowing what happened to the characters after book one. I was definitely more invested in the main love interests in this book than I was in the previous book. I also felt like we didn’t get as much of the mystery as we did the romance in this one. I feel like this book was more about romance, about healing, and gave us a few more steps towards our overall mystery.

The raw emotions that happened during this book were so well written. I got emotional multiple times with our female main character. I think her and the main male character worked so well together. I really enjoyed this book. I didn’t think the age gap was that big, so for those who aren’t really into these type of books, it’s only an eight year age difference, nothing that crazy.

I already guessed who our next love interest will be for book 3 early in this book so I’m looking forward to reading about them and finding out more about the overall mystery.

I would probably rate this book more of a 4 or 4.5 but because I did get emotional a few times during some scenes I’m going to round it up.

I didn’t finish this book, I found I lost interest pretty quickly in the first 100 pages. I don’t know if it was the style it was written in (kept switching between 1st and 3rd), or that fact that not much was going on.

C/W : sexually explicit scenes. Human/sex trafficking. Drugs. Suicide. Physical/sexual violence. PTSD. Death of a parent. Kidnapping.

Greer tackles some pretty heavy topics in this series of interconnected standalones. She does this with understanding the seriousness of these topics while creating a love story that allows for a HEA. It is rare I come across an author who has the ability to do this.

Dev and Ellie are two sides of the same coin and the way they are able to balance and ground each other is pivotal to their relationship. This is a wonderful second book to the Convixtion series.

After Devil and the rest of the boys save her from being kidnapped, Ellie begins working at Sasha Saves as a way to contribute to the women in similar situations (since she couldn’t help her friend). Devil stays by her side, making sure she is safe, and trained well to fend for herself. When Ellie is kidnapped for a second time by officer Burgess, she uses everything that Devil taught her to get free and save her friend Virginia. Devil hears Sasha’s voice thinking it was Ellie and helps rescue her. I loved reading about Devil and Ellie (Angel) so much. I loved the brothers best friend romance. While reading, I fell in love with Snake….

After seeing an excerpt on tik tok decided to give it a try. Actually enjoyed this book and finished it within a couple hours.

I know it’s a standalone within a series but felt like I could still follow along with the plot for the most part. Maybe didn’t get all the tiny details but I didn’t think it was that hard to follow. It was more plot forward than I was expecting but that was ok. I’ve read other series this way before so maybe I’m used to just filling in the blanks.

My only gripes were a few of the character developments happened what seemed like instantly. Example Dev all of the sudden being like “wow suppressing everything and turning off all my emotions is a terrible idea not doing that anymore” like no shit Sherlock. But for someone who had been that way for YEARS to magically just be like yea that’s terrible I’m not doing that anymore seemed a bit forced.

Also when she went to the party anyway instead of bursting into that room when the Crew was meeting and defending herself into being involved somehow. OMFG. Like girl. What was your plan??? Also no back up whatsoever. I was literally yelling while I was reading and almost didn’t finish reading the book because of it. Like I get it he taught you how to defend yourself but really what were you going to do there? And then he yells at her after he discovers her at the party and she’s like “oh yea that was dumb” NO FREAKING WAY YA THINK??? Like I get she wanted to help but come on that was the dumbest thing ever. Also maybe I was missing something but she let her friend go off by herself at a party with suspected trafficking like ummmm?? Or maybe her friend snuck in but come on she should have seen that coming honestly.

That was my biggest hang up mostly because up until that point she hadn’t been that stupid. The spice was pretty good, not that there was a ton of it. Overall it was an enjoyable read.
