The pace picks up a bit and there's more plot but considering the page count, it feels like we should be seeing a lot more action. We finally get some smut though!

Loving Auren’s character arc and I love that Kennedy is adding in new perspectives to read from in the book. Makes it so much more intricate and complex!
