Alright so this book picks up immediately after book 1. The twins are finally ready to dish out their own form of payback on the heirs, and they do so in funny but cruel ways. The plot moves forward only a little as Tory and Darcy chase the clues left by their dead ally. We also get a peek at the boys’ home lives and psyche as the chapters are not just Tory and Darcy POVs.. we get at least one chapter each heir, as well as a chapter or two from Orion… or should we just call him Lance.

The bullying is toned down on the boys side, but I found some of the ways Darcy and Tory got back on them to be bad and mean spirited. I wanted to believe they were better than that. Instead of bullying we get some intense sexual scenes which I am torn about. For Darcy, I saw it coming a mile away and for Tory I think she picked the wrong guy to do that, but seems to have picked the right guy in the end. My fav part was finding out what Geraldine’s form was and the Pegasus jokes.

My theories as I read…. 


1. Darcy and Lance are mates
2. Tory and Darius are mates
3. Tory, Darius, Caleb love triangle
4. Darius dad killed Lance’s sister
5. I still think Diego is sus.. no form yet so I still suspect nymph
6. Darius dad is working with nymph
7. Darius’ brother is a half brother, different dad
