Girl LMAOOOOOOOO, it's not the worst book ever so there's that
So I read this after Born, Darkly and let me just say, I strongly prefer book one. However, this does not negate book two of it's own charm. But I simply could not care for these characters, I'm sorry, sis is hanging over a (view spoiler) and I couldn't care less like. The scene is set and the tension is there but I seriously could not care.
There's a... shift in the writing that causes book 2 to lose the charm of book 1 and tbh I think this was the first time I did not enjoy a dual POV book. HONESTLY, this did not deserve a HEA (view spoiler). Could you imagine how delicious it would have been, if it ended right at that chapter. wow.
I will give Trisha another read before forming an opinion about her.

I did listen to the audiobook of both and maybe that was part of it. I've listened to the male narrator before and enjoyed him and I did enjoy him in this as well. The one thing I didn't like was the trade off of chapters and narrators. I think it would have been more impactful to have him read Greyson's lines even in London's chapters and vice versa.
Overall, it wasn't my favorite, but I am still interested in the pairings. Has anyone read her Necrosis of the Mind Duet, Cruel and Malady, if so what did you think?
Hollows Row is on my list, but I'm trying to wait until the next book comes out I hate waiting after finishing books ðŸ˜ðŸ˜†
