I didn't like this one as much as the first one, mainly because as far as the plot and character arc, it's largely the same.
Our MC is once again forced into captivity against her will and hellbent on getting free again. And she is once again a bit annoying at times with how she is always stupidly fighting with her captors in ways that are OBVIOUSLY going to result in a negative outcome for her and those around her. Like girl, shut the hell up for a second. I get it, she's feisty. But does she have to sometimes be so stupid?
Also some of the plot stuff in this one was a bit much... a bit ridiculous and melodramatic... but here's the thing... it's an entertaining read still!
I liken these books to watching Vampire Diaries or The Originals or True Blood... no vampires, but that paranormal drama full of ridiculousness and overwrought scenes and some truly fucked up things happening sometimes seemingly just for the sake of being fucked up... but you can't stop watching because you're entertained regardless.
If I give the third book at least 3.5 I think I'll purchase copies and this will be a "quick read palette cleanser for funsies" reread series for me. Something to read when I just want to read a few books quickly and be entertained with the dramatic mess of it all.

Book 170 towards my goal of 290! 4/5 stars for this adult fantasy read! More drama and trauma for our favorite cryptids. Love the relationships built and continued in this book. It is still pretty dark and does contain trigger warnings so be sure to check that out! Love the cover. Narration is a little quiet, but still enjoyable. Can't wait to see what happens in the final book of the trilogy!
