I devoured the second installment of this series. If I'm being honest, Ivy's back-and-forth attitude started to grate on me...either you love Julian and go along with his rules, or leave. (I know it's more complicated than that, but the flip flopping got a tad annoying.) I did have a great time beyond that though, and it was only a slight annoyance at the end. I thought it funny how they introduced safe words before safe words were a thing. I'm really digging the Gothic vibes, moreso than I thought I would've! Excited for the final book!
