The Damaged by Tijan

4.0

Was extremely lucky and excited to receive an ARC! It was the perfect birthday present.

The Damaged is book 2 in Tijan's Insider trilogy. It picks up where the first book leaves off. From the start it is a roller coaster and doesn't let up until the very last page. I could not put it down!

We find Kash and Bailey in a brand new situation as they try to navigate all the new things happening in their lives. Kash has been outed to the world as the grandson of one of the richest and most dangerous men in the world, as well as also being incredibly rich and powerful himself. Bailey is starting grad school and is no longer the anonymous girl she was used to. She's now the daughter of one of the biggest and most influential tech moguls.

There's so much to say but it's so much better to just go in and read. You meet, and immediately hate, Kash's grandfather. But we also get a lot of character growth from not only Bailey but also Matt, who endears me to himself more and more as the book goes on. You see Matt slowly become more of what he needs to be, but it's not without a lot of ups and downs with him.

There's definitely some craziness that happens in this book and the end has more twists than I could wrap my head around. However, it never gets too crazy and it all falls in line with the way this series is being shaped.

To say I can not wait for the next book would be an understatement!! Another great read by Tijan.
