This book series is fun. It is NOT a literary masterpiece but it’s really addictive and enjoyable. Please check trigger warning for this before reading. 
*SPOILERS*

Tory and Darcy set out to get revenge on the heirs.( I feel like their revenge was petty in response to what they did but 🤷🏾‍♀️).  It all ends with a fast paced Pitball scene. 
Pros:
🌟The twins revenge 
🌟the girls discovering their powers
🌟their friendship with Sofia and Gertrude 
Cons:
🌟Seth. Just Seth himself
🌟the girls refusal to research their past or their family. They just go “My father the savage king” and move on to staring at a one of the Heirs. 
🌟 their constant need to go do stuff at night with no one around. 
🌟Darius’s Dad
🌟The girls refusing to connect any dots at all

+ satisfied with the plots and subplots, and their progress
•really like Tory, wish Darcy had a bit more personality? But she has progressed from the first novel so hopefully that continues 
+ I enjoy the multiple POVs

i wouldn’t say that the writing was very high quality in this book, and would definitely agree that it is far from perfect, but i have to say that this series has been extremely addictive so far, and i have not been able to put the books down. i’ve really enjoyed getting to know the characters more in this book (and loved seeing some development in romances between the characters), but the dynamic between the twins and the heirs did just feel really confusing at times, especially after how the twins were treated at the end of the first book. very intrigued to see what will happen in the next book though!!
