I liked in this book the difference between Lilah and her sister. I liked how at just one moment she didn’t just decide she didn’t believe in her religion, and instead braced a more loving side of it instead.

WOW!!!! this book was A LOT. it was so dark and raw and heartbreaking. I loved Ky and lilah so much I couldn't put the book down. bad idea. this book is incredibly upsetting and graphic. I loved it way more than the first one, but it's wayyyyyyyyy darker. seriously... do not read it if you can't handle reading non-consent.

i really enjoy dark romance but i’m just not sure how i feel about this series HOWEVER for some reason i just keep reading??????? i have already read the first three and already have the next two downloaded.......but i did like this one a lot more than the first one! i felt like the relationship between Ky and Lilah was nicely developed and i really liked reading their moments together, i did think this one could potentially be a little more triggering than the first one so be careful when reading it because it touches many sensitive topics and the scenes are very explicit!
