Harlow is becoming more immersed with the saints. There’s a lot of questions surrounding her trainer and it seems like the saints are in deeper water than gang rivalries. She has to cope with the truth behind gailen’s hatred towards her and find some middle ground with Theo. 

I’m a little disappointed with this series. The character development just isn’t where it could be. Plus, there seems to be too much going on. The over all goal is to take down sinner but there’s too many side plots. We have the trainer mystery, revelations about Harlow’s dad, darrows gang, the bulls, sinner, her relationship with the guys, the gang tasks they must perform at school, Harlow’s mom and the questions regarding her knowledge, Harlow’s initiation tasks, Bryan, and I’m probably forgetting a few. Side plots are okay if there aren’t too many at one time. 

I’ll continue listening to the next books because I used my audible credit for it but I probably would’ve dnfed it otherwise. 

If you’re used to the character development of Rina Kent, Ashley Rosnek, R A Smyth, or K G Reuss, you’ll probably be disappointed with this one.
