The Cruelest Mercy by Natalie Mae
5.0
There better be another book! Cause you can't just end it there!
Diving back into the lavish world that Natalie Mae created with The Kinder Poison was seamless. It was like I never left Jet and Zahru, Melia, Marcus or Hen.
"Hen is like the bad influence I always needed." Yep, accurate.
While I did completely love this story as a second book in a HOPEFULLY SERIES (puhhhlleaaaseee) it fell a little flat in places where the first book was so intriguing all the way through. I think it had a case of the typical second book syndrome...where it doesn't quite live up to the first, but it's needed to get to that next part of the story. And don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed The Cruelest Mercy and had a hard time putting it down...it's just the story progression wasn't as intriguing as it was in the first book, in my opinion.
Overall, still five glittering stars because I really did enjoy this next chapter of Zahru's tale.
