This was fun, a little bit of cringe at times but all fun. It also got a little slow at times for me but it often picked right back up and had me shocked and fangirling. I really liked it, maybe even more than the first.
Spoilers Version Review
Spoilers below, you have been warned
This was fun, really enjoyed it, maybe even more than the first book. The first one had more of a mystery action aspect to it, and this one was more action/adventure aspect with some amnesia trope in there. At times it did get a little slow especially with the Ludares game and stuff, but then it would pick right back up and have me jaw dropping and fan girling. I also did not think I would like Hudson… but to my surprise, I do think I ship him and Grace more! Sorry to Jaxon 🥺💔
The bonus chapters of Hudson POV in my copy were really interesting to see more of his side as well.
Definitely looking forward to reading the next book, as well as the book that focuses on the time Hudson and Grace were “trapped” together.

Not as good as good as the first but enjoyable. You can see the final page twist coming from 4000 miles away, but I don’t hate it. Just a little cliche.
