Ein toller 2. Teil. Hier gab es etwas mehr Spice und mindestens genauso viel Spannung wie im 1. Teil.
Und dieser Plot Twist am Ende, mit dem hätte ich wirklich niemals gerechnet!

There were a few scenes where I found the writing hard to follow, meaning I couldn’t quite understand what was happening in that particular scene based on how it was described. I either had to go back and read a couple of times, or accept my confusion and piece together what had happened based on the outcome. But overall I really enjoyed this book. The use of gods, titans, and the personification of Earth to build the antagonists was going to hook me no matter what. It was fun to suspend reality to imagine finding not one, but two groups of men who have the character arcs of the men in this series. The psychic powers of the characters and their development is really interesting and well done. My girl Kai understands the absolute undeniable importance of caffeine.

Umm…What!?

What is with that ending? That can’t be it!? Please tell me there is a third book as the book cannot just end like that.

This book was a beast!! It is definitely not a quick read but with all of the amazing and intricate world building, I’m really pleased with how the story flowed. We jump between Maela and Kai every few chapters but it makes sense for how the plot is set up. Each FMC has their own distinct harem that develops at different paces and each group finally gets to meet! This book has drama, intrigue, and page turning suspense!! Definitely slow burn with a little more spice, but I can guess that it will be explosive in the next book. That ending was crazy!

I’ve never read anything like this before but dang is it good! Again, the world building is ABSOLUTELY amazing and definitely worth it!!

This book blew my mind!!! I loved the first and this one didn’t disappoint and even gave me more spice ( which is my jam!) I love the relationships between the characters and watching our FMCs coming into their own has been just a joy. I laughed, gasped, cringed and cried through this and can’t wait to see where it’s going! That ending though !!! Also please check TWs before reading! :)

This book was everything! I really loved the first book and was super excited to see what would go down in the second and I am not disappointed. We pick up where we left off and it’s non-stop from there.

I love how complex this plot is yet it’s still easy to follow. The writing is amazing and keeps me engaged throughout. I love the different group dynamics between the US and UK teams. The banter and camaraderie between all the characters is what I live for. I’m constantly wanting more because I’m so in love with all of them. Also, some characters stepped up their game and are now near the top of my list (don’t worry it’s a very tight race with all of them).

Our FMC are the perfect characters to follow, I love seeing them figure out their new relationships and lives with the Babylon project. They’re so fun to live through and I want to be their friend so badly. I cannot wait to see more of them in the next book.

I cannot rave about this book and series enough. Seriously, read this series you will not be disappointed. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted and more, plus the books are thickkk so lots of content!

Wow what a way to continue the series. This book made me love both FMC's even more and I absolutely fell more in love with some of the Men. (some of them are on my bad list-but im sure they will come around in book 3).

This book starts off where book 1 finished. Maela and her men are in London working on honing her abilities and trying to find more information on Kronos, while Kailani and her men are in the States working on the same thing. This book continues the Slow Burn track with the Harems. By the end of this book Maela has 3 guys (Jorge, Emlyn and Kavi) definitely in her Harem with Seef on the outside wanting to get in. Kailani has 3 men (Lachlainn, Walker and Jonah) strongly in her Harem with 2 men (Maddox and Hideo) who want in but are on the outside for now. In this book the 2 FMC's finally get to talk on the Phone and then end up meeting in person when the Seattle group flies to London for an event. I absolutely loved the scenes with the 2 FMC's together.

This book has a lot of Drama and can have some triggers for some readers. There are some dark descriptive scenes of murder, torture and human trafficking. It also through a lot of twists and turns the readers way. Some things I suspected and other things I had no clue were going to happen and I absolutely loved that!!

This book did end on a pretty big cliffhanger but definitely left me wanting more. I can not recommend this book enough and absolutely cant wait for the next book in the series to come out!!
