Second book was so much better than the first. Though I must admit, the reason for the low rating for the first included the narration but for the rating for this book, I am excluding that reason despite the fact that it still stands. (If you’re confused, please read my review in Red Thorns).

But seriously, Rina Kent needs to stop playing these games with me! It’s getting a little out of hand how often I’m wrong on the plot twists and I don’t like it one bit!  But, I am loving the fact that these books just keep getting better and better. I was a little hesitant about Naomi and Sebastian’s relationship at the beginning but I am really enjoying the darker themes as we start to get away from the HS bully trope and straight into the more adult themes! 

I haven’t read enough of all the couples in this new section of the Rinaverse but so far I would say Sebastian and Naomi are currently my favorite couple!
