adventurous dark emotional tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Carrigan being a capricorn makes so much sense. If that was intentional, it was a good choice. I related to her a lot as a fellow stubborn earth sign and because I, too, would let James Halloran ruin my life. 😩

I think the pet name he chooses for her is too cutesy for his character, I also thought there were a few things that he and Carrigan said that made me cringe a little, but honestly just being a little nit picky there lol 

This book had me laughing, crying and gnawing at the bars of my enclosure.

Check the TWs for this one though, some parts are pretty heavy!!

This was significantly darker and more plot heavy than I expected but overall I enjoyed it and really felt and believed the chemistry between the MC’s

zabeishumanish's review against another edition

The first book was too dark for me, but I got invested fast.  This one is fixing up to be darker and far too emotionally turbulent. I hate nothing more than someone being trapped without a choice in their life. Unfortunately, both love interests of this book are trapped without choices about their future.
