This book was much worse than the first one. Some of the minor issues that I could overlook in the first book of a series are back full force.
The main character is constantly sexually harassed. This happened occasionally in the first book, but I don't think there's a single male character here that doesn't do it, except a 15 year old boy who is instead trying to sexually assault another kid. It got grating very quickly.
The romance doesn't work for me because the love interest is literally an "alpha male" who tries to control the main character and again, sexually harrasses her constantly.
Things just kind of happen with no build up. There are several occasions where monsters just appear and attack, but it's not handled well at all.
Really hoping that the 3rd book irons out some of these issues and pulls everything together, because this one did nothing for me.
