I have an unpopular opinion about this book. I saw people say that gets better with each book, but I liked The Awakening better than this one. Neither of the books really had a plot, but The Awakening was an introduction to the characters and the world so i didn't mind. This one was basically the twins coming up with pratical jokes to get their revenge on the heirs and then going to a party, I still enjoyed it, but I guess I just wanted a little more plot. And I also wanted the twins to get more revenge on the heirs, I feel like they got off pretty easy after what they did at the end of The Awakening.

Another unpopular opinion is that i saw in most reviews that you either cared about Darcy and Orion or about Tory and Darius, but OMG I love both sooooooooo much and their scenes in this book were sooooo good.

I wasn't really sure about Tory and Darius before, I feel like they didn't get musch scenes in the first book, but this one sold me! The tension between them was so good!!!!!! I'm so excited for the rest of their story, I love the slow burn!!

And Darcy and Orion!!!! Ugh I love them from the first book, but I do think that they were way into each other in this one and I prefer slow burn. But wtv I still love them and the scene in the pool was amazing!!! And I can't to see what will happen next!!!

Also, that ending!!!!!!!!! It was amazing!!!! Can't wait for the next book!!!!!!

The professor / student pairing heats up. More forbidden spiciness and lots of pining. A new mystery presents itself. And my favorite secondary character starts to become more important to the plot. So much fun. 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Like #1, not good but passably entertaining. Lots of the same issues as with #1. Pacing is weird. These 450+ page books have covered like 2 months total. Still not into the bully romance aspect. Meh, we’ll see if I continue reading the series.

going to try to keep this spoiler free but i don't have much to say about the writing that i didn't already say in my review of the awakening so it'll be pretty short. we get some chapters in the guys' pov and while stuff was hinted at in the first book the chapters provide more insight into the other characters and there was more focus on them + their motivations than before! this book also developed + focused on nymphs more and the girls are starting to settle in and even evolve imo. geraldine gets some more 'screentime' here and i'm obsessed even if there isn't much more development for her yet since she's starting to grow closer to the girls regardless.

i usually hate action scenes (especially in books) because i find them terribly boring and redundant but the last 10% had me biting my nails on the edge of my seat. ngl i can't wait to start the 3rd book because it left off at such a crazy place but i have been advised it's better to read the prequel first💔 also i'm sure i'm supposed to hate max but i just can't i love (fictional) male manipulators and his antics are endearing to me i wish he had more focus
