It is very poorly edited. There are too many elements to a plot that isn't easily identifiable. Major content warning.

I hate myself for loving this, but while the first one was a bit dubious and questionable, this one was very focused on revenge and I absolutely loved it. Plus I loved that we got some perspective in the guys’ minds, which I suppose strung a little bit of empathy for them.

I definitely liked this more than the first book, but I gave it the same rating cuz I just couldn't bring myself to give it four stars. I took a break from reading it about halfway through to focus on my book club books, but man that last third really goes by in a whirlwind. It's nice to see the twins finally developing their own personalities and discover themselves as Fae, but it's equally as nice to see the Heirs get a taste of their own medicine. Looking forward to the next one!

Addicting as hell. The plot's level of action and simultaneous depth is incredibly well written and makes for an entirely absorbing read.
