My love of the first book probably set my expectations for the second SO high because this... although enjoyable was a let down, the first captivated me and had me running to every friend screaming READ THIS but unfortunately I don't have that urge to recommend.
A few things that had me at a loss,
Where was rookes voice? This woman was someone I aspired to be but she lost all her baddassness in this book, she felt timid and lacking in comparison to the first book.
Soren... where to even start, where was the grovelling? I feel like he redeemed himself maybe 40% but rooke just let it go so easily ugh that frustrated me to no end.

I must admit the ending was a shocker and I actually loved how everything came together, I was at the edge of my seat! so I will be reading the next and hopefully it'll bring back my love for this story that I had gained in the first.
