Again, I loved this! I don’t have a lot to say so here are some quotes:

„No matter what else was going on, no matter how much unresolved bullshit there was between us, he was still there for me“

„I know that I fucked up, and I know that I hurt you, but I can't change the past. All I can do is change the choices I make in the future and hope that maybe one day it'll be enough to earn forgiveness“ 

„I push people away because being close to me means painting a target on your back.“

„You're my whole world, Kate. […] You’re my reason for breathing, and I'll personally slit the throats of anyone who tries to take you away from me.“

Soo..no matter the character development of Archer I still don’t forgive him manhandling and disrespecting MK. Yes, I do love him now but he still isn’t forgiven for all of that unnecessary behavior (sorry not sorry).

After that horrifying cliffhanger I can’t think about more to say about this book except for it being just as good as the first ones so I’m gonna run for the next book in hopes of some much needed clarification!

Volume decisamente migliore, soprattutto perché finalmente i protagonisti maschili finalmente dialogano più sinceramente con la protagonista e

la mettono al corrente di molte vicende

.

Inoltre, finalmente, abbiamo dei progressi tra lei ed Archer, e la situazione con

sia lo stalker e quella con la persona che sta costantemente attentando alla sua vita

cominciano a risolversi.

In più, la protagonista comincia, anche se solo lievemente, ad essere più attiva. 

In aggiunto, questo romanzo è molto teso e interessante degli altri anche per la trama che esula dalle relazioni interpersonali tra i protagonisti.
