Cold Dark Souls by Candace Wondrak
3.0

Oooooook.

So this one we're getting a little more insight into the MC's lives.

Ed and Lincoln are taken quickly with Stella. Especially after her reaction to their "gift" in the basement.

Their relationship is based very much around sex and Stella's submission, which seems to work well for them. It's easy to forget that's its just one week since book one, but aleady Ed is wanting her to move in.

The Angel Maker has decided to also make his move, to show who he is. But first tries to get rid of Ed who's home alone, not realising he's going up against another killer. Luckily Lincoln also comes home and weirdly they all have a "chat".

After looking around Stella's home, it's clear somethings not quite right... Her friends room, Callie, has a stale air smell, a layer of dust, a charged phone with hundreds of unanswered calls and texts...
One toothbrush, one towel.... Some medication for a mental health illness that haven't been taken in over 12months.

When questioned Stella is genuinely honest in her answers which worries the boys. They decide to try to get her meds to her during his meals, but they also worry.

What if this part of Stella is the part that lives their monsters? Will this change everything? How will she react if she finds out their plan??

Add into the mix the Angel Maker decides to reveal himself to her and the reaction is strange....

This book has a little more concern running thru it. Concern for Stella who clearly isn't taking care of herself. And once Ed and Lincoln decide to try and start getting her meds into her without her knowledge or consent (which irl would be a little worrying but I digress) what will happen?
Callie has died that's clear. Was it Stella as is presumed? If it was, how is she going to get to grips with killing her friend?
I'm a little... Disappointed? At how all of a sudden Killian is attractive to her. Is it the attention she likes? The things he's done to get her attention? Because him as her boss she had no time for but suddenly now...? Hmmm.

Lincoln is a beast in the sheets, Ed being only slightly less so, even when he ties her to the bed, but Stella has finally found her sexual Awakening after years of not caring, so if this is what she likes, have at it girl....

Its getting darker folks! I will warn you!!
I'm. In two minds to carry on but I am intrigued.... So I think I will...!!
