This installment picks up right where book 1 left off, so it’s a bit of excitement for a while there. But then things are pretty much back to normal, with a somewhat new dynamic. Aspen’s situation is worse … despite a few things that should’ve made it better having come to light. I’m impressed with the authors’ ability to do this and as a result, keep me just as interested for another installment. There’s clearly some skill here and I’ve now found myself wanting to explore their other reads.
“It took me until now to realize… I’m falling in love with my enemy.”
This one’s even darker than the first one—not at first but it definitely ends up that way. Heed the warning, if you’ve got triggers, but personally, I found it all glorious. Like its predecessor, it ends on a vicious cliffhanger. Be ready with book 3 before you even start this one.
Recommended read … at least for my fellow darklings. 😈 I don’t share spoilers, so I’ll just say: this is how criminals are made, I’m pretty sure. Enjoy!
Overall:
4 stars.

*Continuity issue.
A good editing team/ astute beta readers could’ve helped with this.
We already saw Aspen reading ‘Pretty Little Savage’ by Lucy Smoke in book 1. But now, in book 2, when a friend brings her a copy of the same book, she goes on and on to the reader about how it’s “new” to her. I *love* the shout-out to Lucy in this manner, but it could’ve been done using a different title, so that they still had continuity.
Audio:
👑Features dual narrators.
👑High-quality production, overall. No extraneous sounds, etc.
There were some bits where the narrator sounded far away or under water. They were all brief, not a huge deal in the grand scheme.
