The new characters and old ones balanced out nicely; I thought new ones forced the old ones into very interesting situations. The dual timeline thing was a little more complicated with more characters, but it was still manageable. I'd kill to read the third book right now.

I enjoyed Vicious more, but this was fantastic. I like how lots of characters were introduced, but it wasn’t overwhelming to follow along. Some of the new characters really, really got under my skin while the others were either hard to figure out or I couldn’t care for. 

Without spoiling: what happened to Eli in the lab… made my skin crawl and stomach twist.

It ended on some loose ends and if she finished writing here, I’d understand but at the same time I’d hope some of those ties were pulled together in a 3rd book.

This one blew me out of the fucking water, dude. From the first page and Marcella’s death to the very end! I fell in love with Victor, which I didn’t like him before. I felt sorry for Eli which I honestly didn’t expect to. I enjoyed June A LOT but I feel her character didn’t have enough background! I need more. I need more. I need more. I love Sydney and Mitch. I love that Sydney and Victor have a specific special relationship. This book really brought the thunder. I was hoping the whole time for an enemies to lovers thing with Victor and Eli but of course, no. They were so in love with each other and they just had bitter ex energy the whole time. I love the way they thought about each other, even if it was in a very fucked up way.

Eagerly waiting for the next book.
