Barely better than the prequel. I'm glad the FMC was at least established as over 18 this time. 

In both the prequel and this book, the FMC did or said very repetitive things rather than having a range of experiences. Several chapters in both books ended with her passing out for one reason or another, usually waking up in a different place. Normally I don't bat an eye at something like this, but it happened SO MANY TIMES. 

She also keeps saying "you're scaring me" when she's warned about danger. At one point, I think in the prequel, it happened twice in the same conversation. My point is that the author tends to be unnecessarily repetitive and doesn't seem to know how to write varied and/or meaningful dialogue. Not to mention it doesn't even make sense because the guys aren't scaring her, the surrounding danger is. 

Also, not a lot happened during this book. It was mostly her running scared from danger and being turned on by the princes. That's literally her range of emotion: fearful and horny. She tries to stand up for herself, but it's not very convincing, and usually is just meant to add to the sexual tension between her and the guys. 

While I obviously dislike the main character, I'm still a bit interested in the princes which is the only reason I'm continuing this series for now. This book does end with a cliffhanger and it apparently was in just the right spot to convince me to read the next book. I was seriously considering not finishing the series.
