Torture to Her Soul by J.M. Darhower
4.0
Yeah, I was excited when I noticed this book would be in Naz's POV, and then oof. Karissa's POV was mostly humor with introspection (and then heartbreak). This one is just a tunnel of dark self-torture and resolve. His perspective sheds a lot of light on things that happened in the first book and how he's been juggling trying to keep the relationships in his life until he ends up having to choose. It's a lot of torture, waiting to see how(and when) things will likely implode, but I'd say it was worth it for the end (not that it's the actual end because nothing can ever be simple *sigh*). The spice is still definitely there, and it serves as a nice reprieve of the mood that carries this book (well, some of it), but still, oof.
Some important notes that bear mentioning: first, reviews are highly subjective, including mine. My opinion is meant to give an overview of what I saw/felt when I read it (and how it may or may not have made my brain explode). What I see might not be what you see, and what I like (or don't) might not be what you enjoy, which is just fine. My advice to anyone looking into a book? Read the premise, and if it interests you enough, give it a chance and form your own opinion.
