1st & 3rd person/dual pov
Spice: 2/5
Dare I say I enjoyed book two even more than I did book one? Finding out answers to some of the mysterious events that happened in Belle Morte gave me exactly what I was hoping for out of the sequel. In some ways, I feel like I got some closure that I didn't realize I was seeking until the end of the book. It grabbed me from the first chapter and held onto my attention until I was done. The plot was good, full of secrets and mystery leaving you to wonder who can truly be trusted. Old friendships were tested, some made stronger in the process, and some new potential friends were added along the way. There were even some passionate moments mixed in that I wasn't quite expecting but loved seeing. It was very well written at that. Nothing is described in great detail but detailed enough to paint the picture without turning away readers who may not enjoy spicier content in the books they consume. The switch between 1st and 3rd person didn't bother me at all and I feel like that is due to how the 3rd person chapters are written. It's in a way that almost feels like 1st person so it's not as much of a shift for my brain to process the going back and forth. I'm still not entirely sure what kind of difference it makes to the story by having some of it written in 3rd person but I enjoyed it regardless. That in itself is saying a lot since I usually do not enjoy books I've read in 3rd person.
If you enjoyed book one then I have no doubt you will like book two even more.
