After devouring the first book in this series, I am disappointed to say that I barely enjoyed this installment. The only enjoyable part of this book was the twist at the end and at that, it didn't make up for the rest of the book. The build-up felt extremely slow for the sudden twist at the end, there was a lot of filler and knowledge that was provided that didn't feel cohesive to the plot or the progression of the plot. This book just felt like a filler book in the series to take up space until the ending. I don't know if I will be continuing with this series if the third book is anything like this one.

This is such a good series (so far)!!!!!!! It was like I could feel everything that Mara was feeling. And Noah Shaw 😍😍😍😍 is so incredible I can’t. There was a bit of a slow middle, and the flashback chapters were a bit confusing, but other than that I think this was an amazing book with a killer cliffhanger.

The biggest trigger for me in the book were scenes with needles and a descriptive wrist 🔪
