This book was a tough read for me. I was interested in seeing how Ky and Lilah's romance worked out after reading the first book. Lilah was indoctrinated into her cult teachings and Ky was a wild, womanizing MC. The cult stuff ramped up even more in this book and was too much for me. I also had an issue with the way Lilah's character arc went towards the end. I didn't love that she didn't receive mental health counseling, nor did her sisters. That was a big miss in my book. That being said, I loved the way that Ky introduced Lilah to the modern world and that Ky and Lilah got their happy ending.

CW: violence, cult activity, child physical and sexual abuse, rape, neo-Nazis
