I often curse IRL and I totally would start the review of this book with a curse but I also don't want people to think I'm rude so I won't. Why?
Because just like book one of this series, this one is a disappointment that keeps on going.
Let's get one thing out of the way : I've totally read this after book 1 and I'm not mad about it. I will get to book 2, 3 and 4 but honestly? I just wanted Devon and Tanner. So yeah, I don't think I missed anything that made reading this book confusing. Harper and Knox are fine, but the promise of Devon and Tanner was fire.
Now, like book 1, I LOVE the universe, I LOVE the characters, I LOVE the demons, I am just so underwhelmed by the writing and its lack of finesse and editing that I'm spitting mad. See, these books could totally be dark paranormal romance with grit and sex but what you get is someone trying to sell dark and heavy by mainstreaming so it won't offend the majority of readers. Which means that the sex, while trying to be edgy, feels like it was written by a fifteen year old who blushes at what she's writing and it means that the characters never really get to tap into their inner darkness.
So if you want the promise of dark but none of the grit, this is for you. If you're expecting dark "dark", move on.
Story and characters : 5/5
Execution : 2/5
