Jesus christ i love this book. i cant seem to get enough of the villains series and the characters in it. this was a rollercoaster and i adored it. whilst still reading the first book, i already ordered the second, and i am so glad that this was JUST AS GOOD as the first one, if not better (but idk bc i loved both so much). the characters are EXTRAORDINARY ;). in the first book, i really enjoyed all characters, especially loving victor vale bc duh. but i wasn’t that fond of eli because he was trying to kill my man. of course i still liked his character because it was complex and had a lot of layers, and a backstory that we got to see in this book WHICH WAS SO ADDICTIVE AND I LOVEEEEED, but he wasn’t my favorite. HOWEVER. In this book, after receiving his backstory, and more of his thoughts and opinions, i couldn’t help but love him. and well, when he died, it felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest. BUT - i did think that victor was dying in this book, when him and eli were fighting (canr believe i underestimated vic and syd), so eli instead of victor was somewhat of a mercy to my heart. victor was obviously victor and therefore obviously AMAZING, and stole the show and my heart, as predicted. this was just phenomenal. the women in this book were also amazing, and some of marcella’s quotes had me SCREAMING AT THE EMPOWERMENT!!! I cannot wait for the next book, this is definitely in my all time top favorites, along w vicious. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.
