I listened to this on Audiobook and enjoyed this dark twisted, romantic suspense following Kai and Banks. The audiobook narration is great! 

From the first book I felt Kai was my favourite so I was so happy when I found out this second book is based on Kai and the mysterious love interest Banks. I love the flashbacks we see into the past with regards to Devils Night it keeps the plot and the mystery going. Kai as a character I love as he opened up due to some past flashbacks and struggles he was having. I love when there is a tough lead character but also sensitive. Banks was a fire cracker, for how she gets treated by her family she dresses in baggy clothes and I would say not as “put together” as she doesn’t want to be noticed definitely doesn’t want her secrets of who she really is revealed. 

The spice was great and the scene in the confessional. Lord have mercy I say! 

Excited to see what the next book has to offer.
