god where do i start. i came into this prepared for the mediocre writing but somehow the dialogue was even worse in this book than the one before. i can usually push through and it takes a lot for me to DNF a book but this was just unbearable aside from the side characters and i ended up skimming most of it

“I was always meant to break Annika Volkov. I just didn't know I'd be the one broken instead.”

ੈ✩‧₊˚

I was so excited for this one because I was a big fan of Creighton’s character in the previous book - but there were some things that happened that stopped me from loving it as much as I had hoped. :(

When I first started the series I was hoping that Annika would be a softer character whose strength was displayed in her kindness and understanding of others (but that was a pipe dream because RK seems to be incapable of doing that). I am not a fan of the whole “introverts need to be fixed by extroverts” mentality that was spewed throughout this novel, and Annika making rude comments about Creighton’s reluctance to talk made me dislike her.

Annika could’ve shot Creighton in the shoulder or something to subdue him (since she’s supposed to be a perfect shot) but instead she chose to shoot him in the chest? And then people were surprised when all of his cousins and friends were upset at her because of it? I understand that it hurts to have all of your friends turn against you & I also understand why she chose to save Jeremy (I sympathize with her feelings in that regard) but then — when Creighton acts as though she chose her family instead of him — she seemed surprised that he thought that she was placing her family above him? Which I just? 😵‍💫

I had to trudge through the ending of this book. There was too much going on and too many shifting emotions. 😭
