60% DNF

While I still love the characters, world, and relationships created in book one I found this book harder to get through.

I had a hard time focusing on it and I think it’s a consequence of having a lot going on. There were just a lot of plot threads and it switched between them frequently. While they all tied together in a way that made sense it was overwhelming and I think slowed down the book.

Overall I think I would come back to the book, but I’m not in the headspace to read it at the moment.

     Dang this series is so good. I actually feel like I lost a friend.... or six. After I finished this book, I laid in bed for a good hour staring at the ceiling, feeling empty. I am so sad that it's over.

      This authors mind is one that I will truthfully never understand. The way she was about to come up with all this and make me feel so strong for all the characters is amazing. If I remember correctly, I said in my last review that, I didn't dislike any of the six. Every time I read a book with duel-POV there is always one or two characters I dislike, not in this book.

     One of the huge things that really got me is that we never got a final warp up chapter for Nina. Nina was my second favorite character (after Kaz). I really felt empty not knowing how everything ended for he after that six-month time skip. Maybe it's just me liking Nina too much, but I feel like we need it. 

    I also thought the middle got a little boring at times. Not matter what, I love the six and I could read 10 books about them and never get tired of them. 

    The gangs. The thrill. The pace. The hint of romance. The six. Chief's kiss I am in love and these books will always have a special place in my heart.

     I actually thought I was going to cry when I finished this book, just because it's over. I know I seem really dramatic but it's true. Thats how amazing these books are. I could write about this series for days but I won't just know this is your sign to read these books.
