This is book 2 in the Corium University Series. They really need to be read in order. The first 3 books are about Aspen and Quinton. This book starts where book 1 left off, after a HUGE cliffhanger. This book is a bit darker. I think in this book Quinton struggles. Quinton has a problem with the way other people are treating Aspen and he doesn’t like it, not one bit. In fact, Quinton does some unhinged things in this book. Does it change how Quinton treats Aspen? No, not really. That’s the frustrating part. Quinton needs more time to come to terms with his feelings and emotions. Aspen is still weak and being bullied. Again, this book will end unresolved until Aspen and Quinton ‘s story is finished in book 3.
