Book 2 starts exactly where book 1 ended. We learn Bailey has started recovering mentally from her attack and is back to good physical health. We also learn she has been banned from seeing her siblings due to putting them in possible danger.

The beginning of this book made me angry since Bailey went through so much and is essentially being blamed for her new families issues. I also was mad that Kash was not as involved in the beginning. I was really wanting to see how his father showing up affected him.

Overall, I loved book 2. This book had a lot packed into it and we got to see alot of relationships develop for Bailey, especially her and Kash. I loved reading her take control of her life and education. I am excited for book 3 to see what culminates in the trilogy.

**SPOILER**
Seeing Kash come through for Bailey at the end (you all know what I am talking about) made me SWOON!! I love Kash and he is one of my fav male characters from Tijan.

***I received an ARC of this book in return for an honest review**
