I didn’t know what the follow-up would be from the past book, but it didn’t disappoint.

Schwab did a good job of giving even more depth to Eli and Victor and I really liked the introduction to the other EOs - June, Marcella, Jonathan.

I liked seeing Sydney develop her power but also just growing up and seeing her relationship with Victor and Mitch. I’m glad we got some sort of resolution with Serena, or Mitch killing Serena at least.


The ending was satisfying in many ways while also leaving room if there was going to be a third book. It’s an interesting way to leave the book because I wasn’t unsatisfied but it also wasn’t a happily ever after where things were tied up neatly.
