 This one didn't hit like the first book but I still had a really good time with it!

Grievous follows the events of Menace, picking up right where that book left off. This was definitely wilder than Menace. It was a bit darker too but I didn't really have any problems with that.

I did feel like Morgan and Lorenzo were separated for a little too long though, and I wish that we had seen Lorenzo go a little more feral when she was taken.

Overall though, this gave me the vibes of the fanfics I used to read back in the day and I actually loved that. I needed that lowkey nostalgia. This was a great quick read that I enjoyed a lot!
