This book was so close to becoming a 4 star rating for me!

But unfortunately as soon as Addie was saved it went downhill for me. I found that the recovery was rushed just to get to the sex, the sex was definitely not my cup of tea and Addie was just annoying more often than not especially when she started the whole revenge thing, I thought it was cool at first but it got old pretty quickly due to her team-ups feeling more like a scooby doo get together than an actual serious situation and when Sibby was involved I just couldn't read the book as seriously as it was set. The book also felt like it had dragged the ending out too much and there was still too many questions and not enough answers.

Despite all the books shortcomings I did still enjoy it, but only for part 1. Part 2 felt like a whole different category and I didn't enjoy most of it, I kind of felt how I did when I read the first book and I wasn't a fan of that either.
