Ravaged Soul by J. Rose

3.0

---

This is the second book in the Anaconda Tales which picks up in the aftermath of book 1. I absolutely loved book 1 so I was super excited to read this book. For the most part I really enjoyed this story but mainly the last half then the first half. I do have to say that the pacing for the first half was slow and it felt like the plot was just going in circles. Nothing big was happening so I wasn’t into the story. I did like learning about the characters but book 1 had a lot of action then this one. However, the second half was amazing and saved the story. It expanded more of the mission and story. This book is told from multiple povs but mainly Ember’s. 

 

Ember is a strong FMC, and I loved seeing more of her growth. I can’t wait to see more of her in book 3. Then we have our men. I do have to say that this book included a lot more of Hyland and Alex. I love them but I feel we don’t know much of Warned and Blaine. We were also robbed from getting more than one pov of Blaine but I hope to see more of him in book 3. I also hope to see more of our suprise guest, especially with the way the ending went. The romance develops throughout this book but I wish we got Blaine and Ember moments. I loved seeing Ember’s connection with the other guys which were steamy so I hope to see more with Blaine. 

 

The ending was well done which ends with a cliffhanger for book 3. I really enjoeyd the found family aspect of the story. I am excited to read the next book because I do want to know what happens next. Did I like this book as much as book 1, no, but it was still a good book. Will be waiting for the next one and probably in the meantime I will check out Rose’s other books.
