I think this series is growing on me - I enjoyed book two more than book one. Maybe it was partly being more familiar with the three types of vampires, maybe it was that some of the world building was out of the way and the plot could just go. 
Now to be clear I’m giving this five stars but it’s not like a new favorite book of all time that I’m planning to fan girl and reread … but it was solidly enjoyable.

Not as good as the first, but still made me cry/scream/etc. Honestly, my least favorite part was the reiterating of the lore. like. we obviously read the first book, you don’t need to give us a refresher course. just put in a glossary and call it a day.

This rating is reflective of how much I enjoyed this book when I originally read it, however I recognize a lot of the issues this book has now, and probably wouldn't rate it as highly anymore, despite really enjoying all rereads.

 Content Warnings: Blood, murder, death, violence, emotional abuse, toxic relationships, sexual situations, adult/minor relationship [24/17], drug and alcohol abuse, addiction, self-harm, kidnapping, sexual harassment, fire/fire injury, bullying, and gun violence.

I completely forgot how the first half of this book lulls you into thinking it'll be pretty normal with just some teenage growing pain issues...and then BAM! Hits you right in the freaking feelings. 😭
