I'm disappointed, this definitely wasn't my favorite. Maybe that's just because i expected it to go differently. I felt like way too much was happening constantly. And every problem They kept getting magically saved. Once or twice, fine but every time something completely unrealistic happened to save them.
There were so many weird decisions and random things that weren't relevant and made no sense. They all acted much weaker this time. Why did Donovan randomly beat up Darien? The portal at the bottom of the pool?? So many characters that we didn't get to really spend time with any of them. Barely any spice.

How the fuck did Loren suddenly become able to create illusions???? And hold it for longer than Shay could at the police stop?? And doesn't brimstone poison the blood? Why could Darien use the sight? And why didn't they just ask Dean or Roman to do it since they were right fucking there?? And I do not believe that Darien would have been taken by the cops. In that situation he would have gone down fighting them all, slaughtering them but he just..didn't?

.

It was fine. But not great by any means.
