WOW WOW WOW
I really underestimated this series after the slow start of the first book, but this sequel really pulls it out of the bag.
I absolutely could not put this book down from start to finish. I have nothing but love, respect and adoration for Jude. FINALLY a main character who you can really root for, exploiting her flaws for her own gain and really making everyone’s day a little bit shitter if they wrong her.
Apart from one of the most frustrating finale’s I’ve ever read, this was an absolutely flawless read for someone who loves a story of retribution.
