Probably one of my favorite J.R. Ward has ever written!
The story was action packed! Like the plot was actually so good... yes, it was full of Nyx pining over The Jackal and him pining over her... obviously, because it's romance. But Nyx going in there to find her sister, finding Jackal and his friends and then them against the Prison. Ughhhh, it was so good. I wasn't able to put the book down!
I loved Nyx, btw! She's so far my favorite BDB female! She's totally badass and looks sexy doing it. This book said fuck you to the Prince saving his Princess and gave you the Princess saving her Prince trope AND I AM LIVING FOR IT!!!!!!
Also, the side characters were absolute treat! Mayhem, Kane, Lucan and Apex... boy, can't decide which one I love more. Maybe Mayhem because he's fucking hilarious.
I highly recommend this book. It's connected to the BDB series but I think you could easily read it without reading the OG series. Of course, there will be some spoilers for the OG series.
