I’m all over the place when it comes to how much I actually liked this book. I was I initially pissed off with the first 100 pages of the book
like why introduce us to all these characters just to immediately kill them off? We don’t even have enough time to fall in love or hate with them before they’re dead and Bryce is grieving. Also, I was annoyed with the introduction of a would be kick ass squad to then have the entire Pack of Devils be killed. Genuinely WTF. (I’ve read 700 pages since this and I’m still reeling)
. It wasn’t until things really started to pick up between Bryce and Hunt that I started to find a medium amount of enjoyment in the book. This all being said the last 100-200 pages had be hooked, and then absolutely destroyed. Balled my eyes out of so long.
