This Might be my favorite book out of the entire series. Also, even though I am team Jameson, I have to admit Avery and Grayson are cute. 🙂

4.0

New mysteries, higher and more dangerous stakes, more players, many who are objecting to the game, and more shitty money-seekers in the woodwork. And more secrets, of course. 

Honestly, more like the stakes and tensions I expected of book 1 from the blurb. 

Bots are still pretty 1D and interchangeable, but whatever.

It's definitely more active than the first book, the connections between the characters is explored a lot more and I absolutely love that! My favorite part is "I'm not a bad man" after what he did and planned to do LMFAO it was so funny

Disappointing

Reading this was like pulling teeth. Where the first book was fast-paced and fun, this one dragged on. Nothing happens except for a bunch of filler until the last 15% of the book with ridiculous plot twists.

I don’t even want to get into the “love triangle” with the wet blanket brothers. Absolutely no chemistry between any of them. Again, like the first book, I felt no emotional connection towards these characters.

Since this book was so underwhelming, I don’t think I will continue on in the series.

This series is a great one to just escape the real world for a bit. Love the clever mysteries and reveals, though this second instalment was actually a bit too fast paced for me and I would've loved some time to sit with some of those revelations. The romance also isn't particularly noteworthy in my personal opinion.

SO messy. Most of the time it was so annoying and I felt like I started hating this story, but I'm glad it's over and the way it ended was enough for me to not want to continue the next book lol

Giving it 5 stars because it rly was better than the first book and I can look passed the way the story played out if only for the way love was described in the side romances.
