3.5 Hmmm so this one lost a bit of the first books momentum. It was still entertaining but it did kind of feel like it didn't have as much direction. The ending was fire though and definitely injected some action back into the story.
The whole story is supposed to primarily revolve around Elise investigating her brother's murder at Aurora Academy, the primary suspects including the four "kings" aka Ryder, Dante, Leon and Gabriel. However, she is a shit detective bc she has gotten absolutely no where. The plot pretty much revolves around her falling for the guys, which don't get me wrong is fun but also I really want her to focus a little and figure this out. She talks about her brother Gareth all the time but gets little done.
Gareths pov chapters are increasingly interesting, and I like the mystery.
I do love getting to know more about the boys. They each have such different personalities and backgrounds. They each give something different to Elise and she seems to fill something for each of them. (Although, there was a serious lack of Gabriel in this one!)
Leon continues to be a star, no question, I can see why he is a favorite. Dante has the best vibe and I love his devotion to his family. Ryder, this poor man is so broken. Gabriel is a ghost in this book, if I didn't already know about him from ZA I probably wouldn't care about him. (But I do, he's still number one!) And Elise is still Meh.
