Continuation from the previous book but we get Rhage and him falling for a human, Mary. It was great! I wasn't sure how it would end, and I thought we'd see the Butch and Marissa story progress. I still find the parts of the story from 'Lesser' POV boring, as I did in the first book. I do like the "new" characters introduced, John and Bella, but again I wanted more of their stories too - so onto book 3 for more Bella!

Again, this was fun to read, and more emotional than I thought it would be. I liked Rage but felt like we did not get to see his side as much as I would have wished. Also, I hope we get to see more glimpses of Marissa and Butch’s story in the next few books.

I did not like this one as much as the first one. I was put off by how Rhage and Mary’s relationship started

because it seemed like he was forcing her and felt very nonconsensual. I also didn’t get why Rhage hid so much from her for so long. Felt kind of ridiculous.

Rhage also felt like a completely different character from the one we met in the first book. I wished we saw more of Beth and John. I also don’t really care about the lesser’s perspective. I get why it’s there, but it doesn’t interest me. I will be continuing the series.
