Why is there so little Knox in this book and why is he pretty much insufferable except for the last chapter or so with him???? He was so good in ZA. Ryders insane still. Love Leon and Dante after this book. I need to know what Gabriel did to Gareth, and I need to know what happened so badly between Cindy Lou and Gareth. Also I know Nightshade is sus with everything but Titan feels TOO nice idk I don’t trust him.

Continuation of jumping into RB then will probably jumping back into ZA right after that

I still don't have an answer to who killed Gareth. But I have to say, this second book is definitely better than the first one. I found the humour from Little Leonidas pretty entertaining. It's hilarious how he can't do anything on his own and relies on his Mindys all the time.

However, there's one character I'm really not a fan of Gabriel. He's always being an ass and constantly going on about his visions. Seriously, dude, give it a rest! It's super annoying.

Overall, I haven't seen much progress in the storyline yet. The main takeaway from both books so far seems to be sexual tension and s*x. I get that it's a theme, but the male main characters always have their minds in the gutter, and it's a bit too much sometimes.

But hey, I'm still hooked and curious to see where this goes. On to the next one!

I feel like we are no closer to finding out what happened to Gareth lol but I am enjoying all of the romance and the complex/nuanced relationships. Elise knows what she wants and won’t hold herself back.

So I feel horrible saying all of this. But this entire series has severe bullying and I tried to get through the first and second book, and ended up DNF the second book. I was hoping it would get less upsetting but it didn’t. I know there’s a ton of people who love this series but with my triggers I can’t. Make sure you look up the TW for the series, I didn’t or I wouldn’t have tried to start to read them.

there was more development and insight concerning the other characters which i always love but gareth's chapters almost got too interesting. considering it's balancing a romantasy with a murder mystery side plot i was just getting super impatient with the murder mystery part so i couldn't enjoy the romance as much as i did in the first book. the romantic drama was still fun but it got a little too OTT at moments, even for me, so i ended up skimming some of those scenes. i liked the 'new' antagonist (in that i found that whole thing super interesting) but it's another part of the story that stole my attention for most of the book and i kept waiting for more to happen there. i'm assuming it will get more focus in the next book but this kind of anticipation in a murder mystery is killing me i need answers!! it feels like so much happens but also nothing at all and it's still somehow addictive to read.
