Incredible idea. Lovely story. However a little long and a little slow for my liking as i prefer fast paced books.

This book was incredible! If you loved the first in the series you are bound to love this sequel. Personally i found this much more fast paced as opposed to the first which i felt was more of a slow burn. Not really a criticism just an observation. Once again full of twists and turns and plenty of "oh sh*t" moments which made it completely un-put-down-able. Read it in two nights and would highly recommend. Cant wait for the third book in august!!

Moderate: Drug use, Sexual assault, Sexual content, and Transphobia
Minor: Deadnaming, Drug abuse, and Suicidal thoughts
So so brilliant. Loved every minute of it. Dark, mysterious and quite a lot of sarcastic humour. However there are a few scenes that could be hard to read for some but very important with some very important topics.
