Almost DNF’d but finally made my way through. It felt like this book was unnecessary and that there were a lot of plot holes and missing details. The characters lacked substance (which you don’t always need but it was needed here)

I loved Lips and want to know more about her story though

Another dark addition to this universe, but so good. I don't know if I really needed a second book, but I loved reading about how Illi is willing to destroy the world for Odie and her love for him slowly grew as well. I mean, I don't know if I can call this a slow burn, but it felt like it. This book did seem to drag at times, but I am glad to have more to read about this couple.

This couple is great. I loved reading about this love for each other, even if is dark and twisted.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

A very unconventional love story. However, that didn't stop me from falling in love with Odette and Illi. I liked the connection and friendship with Lips/Wolf. I did feel like I was missing parts of how the 12 came about and their significance. Still, a compelling book. This author doesn't shy away from violence.

what a good ending

I love odette. She’s adorable and strong and ready to roll some heads. She’s illis perfect match. I can’t wait for them to start their family. I read Hannaford first do I know that time should be coming soon.

True Love with hearts in jars.

“I need both of my girls safe. The woman I love and the kid who might just be the closest thing to blood I'll ever have.”

Part two of “mon Monstre” and his baby girl, Odette.
What I love about this story is seeing the relationship between Illi and The Wolf. And just how strongly Illi cares about her.

Book two was purely about vengeance.
I mean, we’re talking about the damn Butcher of the Bay and his methods did not disappoint.
All for his one true love.

"We're on our honeymoon. He's giving me the hearts of the men who hurt me as our wedding gift. I'm hoping to give him a baby in return someday. Blood for blood."

These two are ride or die for life. I love them. Their chemistry and sexy moments were hot AF.

I do feel the book was a little rushed. During moments I got excited about like the torture of scumbags and when the action picked up, the chapter just stops and skips over the day or to next month. I actually had to scratch my head about that a few times. Like, WHY?!
We need details girl!!

Overall, great book. Odette found her keeper. Her savior. Her Monster. I’m looking forward to reading more into this world.
I love all these characters so damn much!

First part was amazing. Literally no notes. Loved it to pieces.
This one just felt like a filler. They could've just summarized this book into part 1. Really unnecessary
