3.25 AVERAGE


read 40% then skipped to the ending :(

I’ll admit, I should have read the book description first rather than going on title alone. First, I had no idea this was the second in a series and I had to go back and find book 1 before starting this one. Second, I just do not like romance books. However, putting that aside, I still give this book only 2 stars. Why? Honestly, I found the characters to be annoying and not relatable. If I could have gone into the book to slap a few of them and tell them to get a grip I would have. It was frustrating to read and it saddens be because the basic bones of the underlying story are something I would want to read. I just wanted it to have characters worthy of the story, and they just weren’t. It looks like there is going to be a third book in the series and despite wanting to know where the story goes, I won’t be reading it. It might be someone else’s cup of tea but it isn’t mine.

This is an okay book but it feels more like a filler that I think it would've been better if it actually was. The plot could also be squeezed into a couple of chapters because tbh all they do is have (make-up) sex. I mean, I'm all in for the smut but just enough for me not to get bored of it.

I'm surprised that there was no urge to DNF this. Maybe I'm curious how everything will play out. I just loathed how it ended with a cliffhanger and there are no updates on when will the last installment be released.

I’m going to be so honest I have no idea what just happened but holy plot points. I couldn’t put the book down but I was also bombarded with what felt like too many plot points. The different storylines could have been made into a third book. I don’t know where things really left off as there are so many parts to the stories that just were mentioned and then left. I obviously still enjoyed it but I’m confused and don’t know how all of these plot points are going to make sense. Also Adrian and Isodole I’m BEGGING you to stop fighting and fucking the story is OLD

Nothing against this but I read book one like three years ago and I’ve lost all interest in this series.

Oh, this book has a nasty case of second-book syndrome. It was awful, which is so disappointing after enjoying book one yesterday.   I should have DNF'ed earlier on. There is no redemption for any of the characters. I won't be reading anything else that comes from this series.
