I like Kai better than Michael, but I don’t like Kai and Banks as much as I liked Rika and Michael. I felt like there was more to their story and relationship than Kai’s. But I do enjoy Kai’s character, his development, and mostly everything about him. I did find this to be a lot slower of a read than Corrupt, took nearly 300 pages for the first kiss?! Talk about a slow burn.. Overall I like this book though and still rated it a 4 as I enjoyed reading it the whole time, even with some eye rolls and annoyance here & there.
