I had high hopes for this book and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed the mystery and guessing who the killer was (I was wrong with every guess but it was fun guessing). I’m very excited for the next book in this series, maybe my suspicions will turn out to be correct(?) The real killer’s identity took me a little by surprise, they seemed so nice and turned out to be a total psycho, but what can you expect from a vampire? I can’t wait to find out if one of the professors is part of what I’m choosing to call the “bird mask club”, if you read this book you’ll know why I suspect a professor. I loved the romance between Tobey and Caldwell though I feel like Tobey could’ve trusted Caldwell a little more, I say that though I don’t think I would react differently than Tobey when they found him next to a fresh kill.

If you love your reads with mystery, vampires, witches, demons, etc. then this is the read for you.

I DNF for the pettiest reasons, this one is the whole “I won’t allow you to do this”, “I won’t allow you to do that”. I tried to ignore it but in the 128 pages that I read it was mentioned a lot.

Oh my god. I did not expect that ending, I was very confused for a bit (did it to myself trying to figure out the ending before having any sort of concrete info). I love books with a good twist and this one had plenty of twists and turns which made the story more entertaining. I was trying so hard to be on Maya’s side throughout the whole book, but she continuously made bad decisions that would put her marriage at risk.

I loved the epilogue, specifically the part where Maya finally came to her senses and decided to stop being unfaithful to her husband, I get he could’ve been a little more helpful throughout the whole ordeal but that did not excuse what she was doing with his COUSIN. Besides the cheating (on someone who did not deserve it) the story was enjoyable and the narrator—Allyson Morgan did an amazing job narrating.

This was such a quick read, but it was so good. This book follows Robert and Janet’s story as they work to build a life of their own, a life they could be proud of. They obviously had obstacles on their way to the life they’ve always dreamed of but made it through. I loved how supportive they were of each other. The story is also heartbreaking, there is the topic of miscarriage in this story so warning for those who might not want to go into a book with that trauma. Overall, it was a good story, and the ending was better than I expected. I highly recommend giving Daniele’s work a try.

Just like the first book, this one was so good. I read this in one sitting. We get more into the boys’ lives and more into the kind of abuse Spencer had endured from her past relationship. We get more spice scenes and let me tell you they were spicing! I love it when all the characters get together so Asher will have to get with the program, soon. There’s this one specific character that I have been sus of since the first book so imagine my surprise (not really) when I turned out to be right about that character, I wish her nothing but the absolute worst. I can’t wait to see the absolute chaos that Rio and Zane will bring when they rescue our girl from her ex.
