The Craving in Slumber by M.L. Philpitt
5.0
“princesse, this right here—my heart—it’s fuckin’ yours now. what you do with it is completely in your control.”
the second installment in this series completely overshadowed the first's flaws in my eyes; it gave a different depth to the mafia elements and didn't focus too much in the attempt to reference every small detail, while still accomplishing the right balance of staying true to the fairytale it was inspired by. the way both stories were interconnected went above the usual cameo sprinkled throughout the book, which i appreciate, making the world more immersive and familiar. it feels as if the events triggered by the first book will inevitably not only cause but change the bigger picture, having the next story pick up right after where the previous one left off.
