I really enjoyed this second installment. The relationships are coming together finally and we are seeing softer sides of the male characters, especially saint. As for the teacher he’s fine, but I don’t really care for him, he’s my least favorite. Learning about the unspeakables was really a turning point as well. The ending of this is actually crazy, but it was really I don’t think heartwarming is the right word, but just how much they fought to save her. This ends on a cliffhanger, so I’m excited to see where this goes.

This is a gripping and intense read that will captivate fans of dark romance, bully romance, and reverse harem themes, particularly those who enjoy complex, suspenseful stories with strong female protagonists and morally ambiguous characters.
