I couldn't put 'Her Soul for Revenge' down. It was very well written for a dark romance fan. I love that we get to know several people involuntarily involved in this cult, and that we get to see their points of view. At first, I was skeptical about the overlapping timelines and events because I was afraid of repetition, but it wasn't an issue. I loved seeing the female main character's growth and her unfolding story with Zane. It was a little more grotesque than the first book but even more captivating.

Very dark. Not my type of spice and it's just the first story told from another point of view.
Which makes sense as it's book two, but I found i did not care about the characters as much as I enjoyed book one. 
It also was less story line and more repetition. 
Overall, meh. I'll probably read book three and then go back to my usual space thrillers.

They’ve done it again! Another great book from Harley Laroux. Filled in gaps of the original story without getting repetitive and boring.  Very respectful view of PTSD without being whiny. Juniper used it as a source of strength while also acknowledging it could be her downfall. I don’t know how book 3 will go but I’m ready to devour it same as the first 2.
