I loved this book more than the first one! I enjoyed the perspective of Grey since I loved his character from the first book in the series. The new character, Lia Mara was such a brave woman and it was so cute how their friendship turned into something more. I wasn't prepared for all the sad moments that made me cry.It broke me when her guard told her that they loved her too before he let her go. I don't think I can forgive Rhen for killing Sorra! I can't wait to read the third book, I want to know what comes next!

I think I liked this one more than the last one. And again, I called the big reveals.
Things I liked:
- GREY!!!
- Iisak. More of him please
- Jake‘s redemption.
- The romance actually made sense and had some chemistry and a bit of steam.
Things I didn’t like:
- The Lia Mara narrator made the girls sound waaaay younger than they were supposed to be. She also was a bit melodramatic, either with a laugh in her voice or like a swoon teen, which was a little much for my tastes.
- The torture
- The 180 degree flip of characterizations of Harper and Rhen, which I guess is only slightly explained. Especially after Rhen’s character growth in the last book. And Harper being okay with Rhen’s behavior after giving her brother (warranted) shit in the first book? Makes no sense.
