I should have waited until next weekend to read this. I need the third book very, very badly.

Loved this again. Bliss, War, and Vincent are amazing and whew those scenes were so hot. I like Nash but idk, in comparison with the other two he feels a bit boring.

Book 2 of Saint View Psychos is much like book 1, just brilliantly written. It will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

OMG I am in love with this series, it definitely draws you into and then leaves you hanging

Another one down! I think I liked this book even more than the first. The characters have even more life and are complex. I didn’t expect to like Scythe, but I did which shows how complex the characters are. I loved seeing the character all get along with each other, and I can’t wait to see even more in the next book. The action in this book flowed pretty well, there was more character development but the action was medium paced.
Spoiler It’s good to see Nash and Bliss finally get together. I hope that Bliss’s mom doesn’t regress and go back to Jerry. I don’t believe Jerry killed Axel, but I can’t figure out who would. I feel so sorry for Scythe/Vincent and hope he’s rescued soon.

So the last book I got a bit tired of half way through, this one not so much. It was slightly shorter which works in its favour. It is largely sex based but there is a nice edge of drama. I have to say the conclusion to this seemed obvious throughout, but I was still gripped. It just seemed like the only place it could go!

I'm pleased there is a slight pause before the next book is out as I was getting a little tense! But I'm definitely looking forwards to the conclusion. At the moment, I cannot imagine how it can end happily... But we will see!

Good quick read and sequel. I enjoyed watching War and Scythe bond. Scythe is hilarious and so unhinged. Bliss getting stronger and more confident was a fun ride. She’s still so sheltered and innocent which is super ironic since her mom is a whore. I definitely laughed out loud during the tattoo parlor scene. Nash is still a mystery to me and I’m guessing the next book will have more of him in it.

Thank you queer gods

When is tell you the MM in this books are everything, it's because I was practically panting the entire time. I know this is a reverse harem but dear god I'm shipping War an Scythe so bad!. The friend to lovers to enemies is going to kill me. Also top-notch spice on this series. And the plot is super engaging.

Clown shoes with slippery bottoms….there are a lot of good one liners in the second book. Either author described scenes or conversation from characters.

Continuation of book one, the story continues, what Bliss inherited becomes much more interesting. And the leading men in her life become intertwined. Plenty of hot, hot scenes.

Sad note, wait until next month….to find out what happens to Bliss, War, Vincent/S, Nash and all her friends and foes. Loved the world and storyline.

I literally didn’t want to put this book/series down! It truly was such an amazing read and definitely Recommend!
