I wanted so much for this to deliver what I was missing in the first one but instead I ended up hating every character except Simon??? Coen was unrecognizable, Dom was a total asshole, and Magnus was basically a sweet side character that occasionally said nice things to June. I think there was a better way to incorporate Simon into the harem lol. He also could have had a better intro to having feelings for her but instead it was ultra-insta-love… we didn’t even have his POV when he first met her in UV so I expected this book to close that gap but it was just like here’s a man that loves her and you don’t get to ask questions. This book also had the same long and redundant internal monologues as the first one, like how many times do we need to hear about the sweet blonde hair blue eyed boy crying at his mothers grave all those years ago. Oh and the plot twist was obvious about 20% into the book
