The first half could have been 50 pages. The second half I devoured. I enjoyed the first book more but I love these characters so much that I’d read anything with them!

Well this jumped right back into the thick of things after the end of the last book.

What a Rollercoaster. There is plenty of betrayal and I thought I knew what was going on but boy was I wrong.

Nico and Camilla are perfectly imperfect and having each other might be the only way to save themselves.

I loved the angst and way the everyone came together. It was a perfect way to finish this party of the story while leaving it open for more.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

There's so much I like about this duology, but the confused writing is just a constant problem.
