I couldn't give this anything less than 5 stars as it completely and utterly engaged me from the start. This has suspense, spice and is a total emotional rollercoaster. Oh Ivy; her journey in this book just crushed me. Trigger warnings; you will need to check them as the first section of this is very dark and on page and I don't say that lightly. It is brutal - when you think it can't get worse; it does.
MMC wise, Niko is still the sweetest and Cam continues to be bottom of the pile for me; I am looking forward to his grovelling as he comes to terms with how wrong he is. I have never been more frustrated with someone being stubborn! Trey however, has completely won me over from his previous apathetic stance in book one and shows the most growth in my opinion; he is the absolute star of the show for me in this book (although Frankie is still the MVP). Caleb still has my heart as he is truly stuck in the middle of this and every time his yellow car is mentioned I get the fear for him!
I've already gone back for a re-read as I have so many theories rattling about and there were genuine twists in this that I didn't see coming. I love a revenge plot and am glad at how the board is being cleared so far!
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely and I have added all the authors works to my TBR!
