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.

it did drag quite a bit the first 200 or so pages for me but when it escalated so much at the end that i think it was worth it. i dont like monroe as a love interest mostly because he’s a teacher and even the ridiculous setting isn’t enough for me to fully suspend my disbelief and not get icked out - i feel like this would work better in a fantasy/pnr because they’re not usually set in our world anyway.
