Alright, all the feels, tension, and desire to throw the Kindle. This book has it all.
Tension, action, spice, and a lot, lot more. I couldn't put it down and read it in like 4 days, give or take.
Full disclaimer, READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. This book is not for the faint of heart, and I don't usually read books like this. But I read the first one and NEEDED to find out what happened after. Curiously the book does read like two different books. Part 1 and 2 feel different, and in hindsight, it could have been two separate books. But it doesn't take away from the experience at all.
The only thing, for me at least, is I would not be able to re-read this book again. At least not as a whole. I'd probably read sections that I enjoyed the most, but that is just my personal preference and nothing against the quality of the book, or the author's style.
