A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Did not finish book. Stopped at 70%.

Honestly, it's just bad. The characters don't evolve, the lead characters pretend the don't like each other for nonsense reasons, and the main female character is still weirded out by sex and nudity exactly the same as they were in the first book. Respective. It's not even good bad fun anymore, just bad :/
