Zelie was soooo frustrating in this book. She was completely blinded by revenge for 90% of this book and the other 10% was her realizing that she was and that she wanted to run away because mistakes have been made. And where was Zane during this whole book? Seemed he just popped up when amari needed some “personal” attention. He should have been the level head needed. The story behind this series is still great but the characters erked me like no other.

Overall great story, my only complaint is how similar to the first book it is. Meaning - plot lines, conversations, ideals, etc. Exactly mirror the first novel with the only difference being the character whose perspective you're reading. As with first novel, I'm irritated by the decisions made by characters. Entire story could have been over in the first 100 pages if characters had made smarter decisions. Again, I couldn't put it down, although there was a LOT of head smacking going on.
