This is the second book in the Devil's Night series which is recommended to read in order. I really enjoyed this book and I didn't think I would because I wasn't a huge fan of Kai in the first book. But Douglas made me see him in a different light. I really enjoyed how the second book picks up from the first. I read Corrupt a while ago but I never felt lost while reading this one. Douglas did a good job making sure readers know well what is going on with the character's lives. The storyline was well written and I enjoyed the conflicts that were in this book. We learn more about the characters and the setting of Thunder Bay. The pacing was fast even though it was a long book but it never felt like that. The book is told from dual povs but also from past povs.
Kai is the MMC who doesn't know what is happening in his life expect he wants to be isolated and get Banks. I enjoyed learning more about his character even though he's still more mysterious than the other horsemen. Banks is the FMC and I really liked her character. She has been through a lot especially because of who she is but I loved seeing her be bada**. They both have great character development and I enjoyed reading their story more than Michael and Erica's. The side characters are still the same with a few minor ones added but we see more of Damon's father's character. The romance is he falls first, hidden identities, and enemies to lovers(ish) with some steamy scenes.
The ending was well done and I'm excited to pick up the next book to see what happens next. This book was less explicit compared to the first one where it was more cruel. I believe the next book is Damon's and I'm excited to see how Douglas wrote his story because there is more to him than we thought. I recommend checking this series out but I recommend reading the triggers.
