Why are murderous women so hot? 
I loved this book. This Duology is just amazing and everything that I needed right now and forever.

4.0

i really enjoyed this! i found it to be a good sequel, however i think there’s far too much left to be said about this cast of characters and the expansion of the world to make it an entirely successful and logical duology/sequel, so im hoping a third book will come at some point. regardless, it was a cool read, but im just finding myself wanting more. also i definitely think the treatment of female characters didnt improve much from the previous book which is unfortunate.

If you’ve already read Addie LaRue, then I can say this one ends leaving a similar taste in your mouth.
