Better than book #1. The authors seemed to have figured out that the non-stop body-shaming and slut-shaming was annoying to read. However, it's not 100% gone in this book. Just less. The rude language is also decreased. There were a few instances of author intrusion regarding their personal opinions on certain subjects (i.e. sex) and it was extremely distracting.

Zoey is still pretty judgmental, and she still has a woman-hating problem. Her overall growth as a person isn't great, but this book only takes place a month (ish) after book #1. There's still hope.

This book was slower than book #1, but the story overall was more interesting.

Okay, this one is a little worse....still aged like a beautiful bottle of milk that sits behind Grandma's fridge, but the teenager characters feel a little more accurate. Some of the writing in this book kinda reminds me of the viral Harry Potter fanfiction, My Immortal. 

Though, not mentioned in the last book, I actually find this series' version of Vampires to be kind of cool. I haven't read enough vampire literature to know if its particularly creative, but I do enjoy the Indigenous and Spiritual motifs woven within as well as the consequences of turning into a vampire. The moon tribal tattoo stuff is also very much a nice visual.

Plot twist at the end was very predictable to me and the stakes weren't that insane to me, but I also had hindsight that there are like thirty million of these books (there's like twelve?)
