Girl LMAOOOOOOOO, it's not the worst book ever so there's that

So I read this after Born, Darkly and let me just say, I strongly prefer book one. However, this does not negate book two of it's own charm. But I simply could not care for these characters, I'm sorry, sis is hanging over a (view spoiler) and I couldn't care less like. The scene is set and the tension is there but I seriously could not care.

There's a... shift in the writing that causes book 2 to lose the charm of book 1 and tbh I think this was the first time I did not enjoy a dual POV book. HONESTLY, this did not deserve a HEA (view spoiler). Could you imagine how delicious it would have been, if it ended right at that chapter. wow.

I will give Trisha another read before forming an opinion about her.
