Dreary Shadows Part Two by R.E. Bond
4.0
I couldn't wait to jump into this book after the guys left our girl high and dry at the ending of the first book. I was heartbroken for her after their whirlwind romance.
Only to be let down rather quickly.
The guys were gone for a year, and during that year Lil still had her wolves. Who seem to have been immediately friendzoned. But then Lilith makes a drastic decision that changes everything and was the start of the downfall of the book for me. Since she’s mated her actions in my opinion shouldn’t have been something she was able to do so easily.
Things escalate and the guys come back. But when they come back it doesn’t seem like their bond is there, it there’s not much pull to be with each other. Even though she’s angry I felt like the bond would have still pulled her to want to be around him. We learned a bit more about lil and and the secrets from her past.
There’s definitely lots of steam, and I was glad to see her spend some time with a few of the other guys.
There was some twists and turns, but I didn’t find there to be much relationship building between her and the guys after they came back. I’m not sure if that had to do with the drama the new characters brought or something else. But I’m hoping there will be more in the next book.
I absolutely love the original guys, this book only added to my love for Chaos and the changes in their relationship. He was my favorite in book one and he continued to be in this book. He seems like the one that needs the most love and the biggest push, and he was given that! I love when one of the guys pushes back for the longest time but turns out to be such a sucker for her. The way chaos craves being with her was absolutely delectable but it didn't compare to when he caved.
There wasn’t a cliffy, but I have so many questions after this book that I’m ready for the next.
