This hurt. Like, wow, I think I spent like half the book crying

I didn't expect that, honestly. I was having so much fun with the characters and the relationship blossoming and them bam... tears. 

Don't think a book has ever made me cry that much. My heart broke for her. 

I have to say, though, the toxicity of the people in this book is astounding to me, like they can't think for themselves at all for some reason? But overall, I can't say I didn't love this whole story

I was a little disappointed in the way it played out with Sean, and obviously, I'm sad about Dom.. but that ending was.. not enough grovelling tbh

Also, I don't think I want to read the last book. It seems unnecessary at this point? Maybe I will one day, but for now, I'm content leaving it here

I picked this up because I read "Flock" last year, and I just could not get it off of my mind recently.
"Exodus" is the second book in The Ravenhood trilogy. Cecilia is trying to move on without Sean and Dominic, but she feels like she is drowning. Everything is only made worse by the annoying presence of her enemy, the Frenchman. Can she make it these last few months so she can get her inheritance and get out of Triple Falls?
I was very disappointed with the turn this story took. Cecilia was so "in love" with Sean and Dominic, but after a few months she starts hooking up the man known only as the Frenchman, Tobias. I know Sean and Dominic just up and left her, but I feel like she could have held out a little bit longer. And, why did she have to hook up with Tobias? I feel like it was just that he was in close proximity.
Dominic's plotline was devastating.
I am honestly kind of mad, and I do not know if I want to see what happens next.
