Blood of the Ruthless by Lacey Carter Andersen
2.5
This book was a bit underwhelming after the first. The pacing felt slow/drawn out, which was impressive, considering it's only 192 pages.
The format of every other chapter being a dream with a different guy got stale and repetitive quickly, and I didn't like that most of the character and relationship development happened through those, considering the characters haven't yet worked out that the dreams were "real" experiences.
While there was some angst, I feel like the angsty potential of the series got underutilised with this storyline and it overall just felt like kind of a filler book? It's also disappointing that the book ends with the guys and Cassia being forcibly separated, considering we just read an entire book based on that trope. I want to see them together and pining, damn it!
I'll still read the next book to see how it ends but I'm not going into it with high hopes.
