I forgot how quickly everything happens in this series. 

This book has plenty of whump as Neil firmly plants himself into this dysfunctional family, thus constantly putting himself in harm's way for the Foxes. And then there is the fact that everyone knows about Neil's budding relationship except for him. 

Violence and trauma are in large abundance in this one; read all trigger warnings.

adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

3.5

Again this is a guilty pleasure book of mine, that I discovered in the pandemic and occasionally re-read.

This book has a more interesting plot than the first book ( when it comes to relationships) but it does have more intense subject matter. If you are not interested in reading anything with sexual assault and rape I would stay far away from this book.

Overall, I can't say this is a objectively good book since the plot is insane, but I do enjoy it.
