This one was NOTHING like book 1, and most definitely nothing like Kerri's debut series. There was hardly any plot buried beneath all of the unnecessary graphic sex. And, Emilia was so not a badass in this one at all. She kept repeating her "mission" but never had any follow through because of all of her "desires". She was super annoying, and I'm not a prude by any means, and I'm all for females exploring their right to their desires, but for being an 18 year that's never really been introduced to anything sexual, other than trashy novels, she was way too interested and distracted by sex, and she had no real character development beyond it.

The story hardly had any development, the characters were so one dimensional, and the "plot twists" were super predicable. There were only a few bits of actual story in between all of the smut that actually kept me going. But, the graphic sex was so much that I honestly don't know if I will be reading the third back, despite how badly I want to know how it all ends.

4.5

It was filled with many questions but still no answers, though it was quite predictable and seemed to pull for a confusing plot. It was no slow-burn romance; just cut-off moments. It was an all-consuming read that sought attention. The scenes are suggestive of certain tensions and emotionally conflicting.

GAAAAH I LOVE THIS SERIEEESS!!! This book is a strong 5 ⭐️ but it was a bit hard to get hooked from the beginning. It had been awhile since I read the first book and did not remember who had killed who and so on, I was a little bit disoriented. BUUUT I WAS SO GLAD I CONTINUED BECAUSE GAH I LOVED IT❤️❤️❤️
