⚰️ Mini Review ⚰️
Holy wow! This book was AMAZING! This cover is just so lovely isn't it? It felt like I had to wait 10 years for this book, but it was totally worth the wait, but now I'm sad it's over. I absolutely loved this book. I was so upset at some parts and yes I had to rage text the author and talk about it which she was totally cool with! Then she was forgiven! Ah! I loved it! Go read this duet now!

This book broke me. Crushed. And it took a crazy, winding, pot hole ridden, long a$$ route to put me back together. I can’t remember the last time, I was so worried … multiple times my eyes flittered lower on the page, a soul deep need to read ahead, barely containing my anguish, I stayed up too late and woke too early in order to sate my needs with this book. The smile plastered to my face as I remember sections of the book only further cementing its amazingness!

Ok this book was LONG! I agree with some who have said it could have been like 100-150 pages longer. But it was so good. This duet had good plot and I loved Rylee so much. She just was such a bad ass who just help her own over the course of both books.
Colton was also just the most perfect alpha MMC and I loved him so much. So so cute these two. 🥺🥺🥺
Series as a whole 4.5/5 ⭐ 2 🌶️

Rylee and her sister are on the run and hiding out in the Den of Vipers. Meanwhile, due to Frank's manipulation and deception, Colton has been ripped from the Vipers and doing what he can to keep those he loves safe.
Thank you for giving us a dual POV! I really enjoyed Colton's chapters and getting a peek inside his mindset. His chapters give us some valuable insight and background to the Jackles club, which adds a lot to the story. Also, it gives us some understanding of his choices and actions. He loves his brothers and Rylee, but is willing to sacrifice himself if it meant keeping them safe.
There is so much heartache and pain that both Colton and Rylee endure, but it is integral to their growth. Your heart breaks for both of them as they are torn apart and aches for them to be reunited. They have so much chemistry and such a strong connection that they will always find their way back to each other.
Rylee is such a strong and resilient character. In this part of the story, she really comes into her own and goes through so much emotional growth. I really appreciate how Hoyt depicted the reality of PTSD. She did a really good job of getting us into Rylee's head so we could really experience and understand the effects of her trauma. You could feel her pain and fear everytime a wave of panic hit her. I love that her mental health was taken so seriously by those around her and that she was never made to feel ashamed of what she was experiencing.
One thing that really bugged me was how much Colton kept from his family. So much heartache could have been avoided has he just told them everything from the start. His family would have done everything to help him. I get that he was trying to keep them safe, but communication is key.
I continued to adore the found family aspect of this book. Alex, Minho, Danny, Holly, and now Mac, add so much depth and emotion to the story. They have such a beautiful dynamic with one another. Can we get a Holly/Mac book please?!
The endingwas wrapped up nicely. Rylees father behind bars and the other bad guys dead.
Tropes: second chance, vigilante/Robinhood retelling, found family, slow burn, grovelling,

My rating: 5/5⭐️
I absolutely loved the second book in this duology! It built on everything from the first book, including more romance, political scheming, and dual POVs 😍 the only thing I got frustrated with was the miscommunication trope but it all makes sense in the end, so I’ll forgive the author on this occasion 😅 Colton and Rylee and now firmly in my top 5 favourite book couples now!
“I knew you still loved me.” / “I never stopped.” 💕🕊️
