The intensity, the power, the danger and the tension. UGGHHH. I. JUST. DIED. DEAD. DECEASED FROM LIVING. This is the second fucking book I have read from Kia, and I AM JUST FROTHING. Yes, I know I used that word. I intended it and meant it. No, I am not going to change it. 

I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK. OH MY GOD. This series has been in my tbr for a while now and I am absolutely in so much desperation to read the others after this. Anya for one, is the BADDEST MOTHERFUCKING BITCH I HAVE EVER SEEN. Her background and upbringing is true control, with the result being the woman she is today. But I do want to hug her though, even if she’d put a bullet through my skull. I want her to feel my love. And she just screams power and literally oozes sex. Not that that’s a bad thing… certainly not for the River Bently. I just… I don’t think I have any words nor a vocabulary to accurately describe River. And I don’t think I want to. Just. YUM. FUCKING. DELICIOUS. I’m not even going to lie at this point, I would get on my knees for the both of them and I’m not even sorry about it. 

The story, even with its mystery element is just outstanding. It could not get any better than this. The never-ending push and pull of banter and pure sarcasm from both River and Anya had me REELING. Not to mention the small comments here and there made by Michael and Will. Pure comedy gold. Just had me outright cackling. But the PLOT TWISTS. GOOD LORD. BURN. THEM. ALL. I cannot be more specific when I say I absolutely loved everything about this book. YES. YES. YES. I cannot wait for Alek’s story, as I AM DYING TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM. He 100% is a freak and I am calling it.
