I personally liked this book better than the first. The dynamic between the two main characters was great but the actual plot points happened all at the end and it felt like the ending scene came a bit out of no where. I did enjoy it, but be aware there are some graphic scenes that weren't for me at all. Be sure to read the content warning.

I liked the book for the most part but it lagged a little. I wish the books was maybe 50 pages shorter because it sometimes felt that the author was told to write more to meet a quota. Is this going to have a third book? It seems so but the cliff hanger isn't exciting so it can end here but there is room to grow the world and story. 

Grey and Willow's relationship is of course, dark and moody but if they both just communicated more about their feelings and plans a lot of their drama would be solved. But that's every single romantasy book through, right. 

I don't know if I am planning on reading this book again soon but it was good while it lasted.

A shame. Truly. I loved the first book but this one was absolutely a waste of time. Mostly uncomfortable smut that did nothing for me or the plot. The voice cast of the audiobook also was bad on top of it. Barely worth 2 stars.
