This series has been living in my mind rent free since the first book released in May. I needed to know what happened with these characters and book two did not disappoint!
Just a reminder that this book is DARK. It has some very heavy triggers so be sure to check them before you start reading.
I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH. It was perfect. The way the characters handled the video being released at the end of book one really showed just how much things were going to change for the group going forward. Then when they realized where Ivy was and what she'd endured- it was like a flip switched. I can't wait to see how Ivy handles everything from here on out and to find out more about that cliffhanger!
Cam- I admit I wanted to read into the story and give him a not-so-loving-slap upside the head way too many times. The man embodies the word obstinate. Niko had such a difficult journey in this book. He was already my favorite in book one and that continued in this part. He has such a precarious line to balance himself on so that he can reach his own goals while keeping his family safe. I feel for his struggles. Trey really took on a different role. Book one Trey was more indifferent, but now- if you like a quiet, nerdy psycho you will love him! Caleb is stuck with few choices because of the world he was born into and I hope we get to see more of him in book three.
