A strong sequel to the first book. I liked that it wasn’t all smooth sailing and not everybody instantly loves Juliet which is a refreshing change from the genre. Adam and Warner are two sides of the same coin and so interesting to see the push and pull between them and Juliet. I like that Warner isn’t completely redeemed in this book because he’s got so many twisted layers & im still trying to puzzle him out. I hope the next book doesn’t make Juliet do a complete 180 though and lose all her friends!
