I truly think the books in this series build. I loved the first book and I loved this one even more. I read it in just about a day it was amazing. It is dark and trying and a little sick but so addicting. okay so what happened - the Triad made it to rescue Scarlet. Elliot started out thinking she was the mole but came around and is very kinky. There was a three way between Tristan, Sebastian, and Scarlet. New safe house as a present Tristan and (more so) Sebastian brought Scarlets bff Kenna there. Scarlet’s cousin is back from Romania and being groomed to run the family business. They schedule a meeting. Turns out Elliot was right he was kinda a double agent on that. Boom not cousins - siblings. Massacre in the front yard. Finn who likes Kenna takes a bullet for her. The brother tried to take Scarlet with the Dad and Sebastian gets shot twice and kills their dad - dead. Cliff hanger: will Sebastian and/or Finn live. AND the brother wanted to be on Scarlets side but he couldn’t yet because of their dad. He was planning to let Scarlet kill him but Sebastian did it now. And now the brother can’t stop a war from breaking out between the family and the Triad since they killed the family’s leader. <spoiler/> I am immediately getting the next book so I can read it. I truly cannot get enough of these books.

To say I loved this book was an understatement I read it in just a few hours. There is never a dull or slow moment in the book. Even the less eventful times were still so interesting and I couldn’t put it down. I love their little harem. I love how Sebastian is the sweetheart but also marksman with sniper aim. Then there Tristan who is the leader he is firm but caring and again a soft spot for Scarlett. Finally Elliot who is a hard ass and does not care about Scarlett or so he says. But slowly we see his adoration for her grow and grow. The fact that they are all sickly perfect for each other. Like the scene in the warehouse that was weirdly erotic but also surrounded by so many murdered bodies. Also I love that Scarlett has different relationships and sexual relationships with each of them. Im expecting those relationship to become more intertwined in the next book. The fact that people found Scarlett and schemed to get the guys away at the end wow. I can’t believe that melody was killed. That is heart breaking. And now the guys are to go to the warehouse and save her. Talk about a cliff hanger. When I was coming close to the end I was like umm Scarlett is being kidnapped and I’m 90% done weird. AHH now onto the next book because I need to see what happens.
