for the most part i did prefer this to corrupt (i found the characters a lot more interesting) but for some reason their romance didn’t really click for me. i think it was because there was so much focus on damon (don’t get me wrong i love that too) that developing their relationship kinda took a backseat and made this book feel like a prequel for damon’s book. despite not feeling much for the relationship i did love the MCs in this book and the book in general but i don’t think it holds up as an independent romance as well as its predecessor so it might be a disappointing read for people.
