All I can say is WHAT THE HELL!! I don’t like to say anything negative about an authors work, but this was smh!!!! The first book was ok. This just didn’t make sense. Too many typographical errors. It jumped and sometimes just didn’t make any sense. Sorry Neel Latchman.

O. M. G. This book has ADD! Please make it end!! He loves her, he sleeps with someone else. He loves her, he sleeps with someone else. She loves him but sleeps with someone else 🙄 The doppelgänger repeatedly coming back to life 😒 This is my first one star review. I’m so glad this struggle is over 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

DNF!! My first ever DNF too! Made it 300 pages so I gave it a good go, but I just couldn’t force myself through it anymore. Where to start with this review…
** CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS **
I only read this book because I’d bought it at the same time as the first, not knowing I’d dislike the first as much as I did😅 so since I had it, I figured I’d read it. I already had an inclination it would be a waste of time but thought I’d give it a go in case it drastically improved since the first book.
Shocker, it didn’t.
Firstly, I cannot stand Galan’s “I’m untouchable”, God’s-gift attitude. The fact he can’t stand to have anyone touch him or call him “sir”, even men, for fear that he will get so instantly turned on that he won’t be able to control himself🤦🏻♀️ ugh, ick. I get his past is supposed to explain why he’s like that but it just didn’t sit well with me.
Secondly, the plot is so wishy washy, contradicting and rushed in places. The writing is overdone and repetitive. By overdone, I mean seeming to write the same sentence in different ways, all the way through (like I said in my first review for book 1, it was like he was trying to hit a word count😅). And repeating words or phrases throughout the book. If I had read the word “amidst” one more time, I would have stabbed my eyes with a fork🤦🏻♀️🥱 There is also very little character or scene development, making it hard to visualise things.
And, thirdly, I’m sorry but, the doppelgänger surviving being stabbed in the chest, having his throat slit and then his neck snapped and STILL SURVIVING is just ridiculous. I know fiction is made up but there should still be elements of belief, unless the genre allows otherwise, i.e. fantasy or sci-fi where powers/magic are involved. But since that’s not the case at all, this part was just stupid and definitely didn’t improve my overall opinion of this book. It was after hitting this point that I finally lost the will to continue and gave up.
Only positive I can think of is the fact the books are dark editions, so they look cool and was part of the reason why I bought them in the first place. But this also meant they cost more than a standard paperback and in the end, wasn’t even worth the money.

If ever there was a story that embodied Tarantino, this is it. I only have four stars because the twists came so quickly at the end it was hard to keep up with. Man has never made a true roller coaster with so many turns. But damn. It was good.

This book is insane. I've never read a book with more twists and turns than this. You seriously never know what's going to happen until it's happened. The ending was a more WTF ending than any other book I've ever read too. Being the 2nd book in the series I can not even begin to describe this whole graphic story. It is a wild rollercoaster ride of shock. Also the book is in real life dark mode so it made it easier for me to read with my light sensitivity. In short this book is phycological thriller smut and I highly suggest the series read.
I’m sorry but wtf. That was worse than the first one. 2 stars I think is generous and that’s only because I finished the book.
Thoughts and scenes were jumbled
The characters just…
Yakuza? How was that a good idea?

It was extremely boring. I thought that once I got thru the first one that the second would be better and I was sadly mistaken. Very unimpressed. The gramma and the way it was written is just bad.
