Bugger. This was one of my most anticipated reads and it was good but I struggled. I think if I read the first book following into this I may have loved it more. There was a recap from the first book at the start of this which I appreciated. It started strong but lost its way. Once Nico got Camilla back they jumped straight into business. I was hoping Nico would take care of and devour her but every time these two characters would get intimate someone always interrupted it was frustrating. Both these characters were strong in the first book but now a sappy mess in this second. Yes, Camilla went through a lot at the start but she cried many times. The ending for me seemed rushed and unfinished. Why go to all that hassle to get the book but not do anything with it? When Nonna fell why did Nico freak out and jump straight into business? He loved that woman and ran away. What is the extent of Camilla’s power? I feel like many things could have been explored more. Unfortunately, it fell flat for me and lost its spark from the first book.
