Oh lord this book.
Well at least I can say it wasn't worse than the first, but if you've actually read the first book, you know that's not too hard.
I'm so confused about this series. I am also very angry about it? It's such a mess, I can't believe it got published, and yet I can't stop reading it. It's more of a hate-read at this point, if I'm honest.
Everything about this book is awful. The writing is awful. The author's english feels very unnatural and while I understand that the author isn't native speaker (neither am I), this is still supposed to be a professional product, so that's not an excuse. And even aside the unnatural nature of the language used, there were so many spelling and grammatical errors, I'm not sure what the editor was doing either.
I mentioned the writing is horrible. The pov keeps switching almost every line (and head hopping is something I really can't stand) and trying to figure out what was happening was hard. And infuriating.
The main couple is awful. I already hated Ignatius from the last book (did we forged he's a horrible abusive monster? Just because he wore Nikola down doesn't change anything about what happened before), and he continues to be an asshole. I genuinely spent most of the time wishing he would just die, which I don't think is great when reading a romance story.
I did like the two new secondary characters, although I just wished Nikola would ditch his horrible abusive boyfriend and leave with them.
I do remember reading the synopsis and thinking "I swear if Bram Stoker is involved, I will scream." Needless to say, I DID scream.
Honestly, I can't tell if I want this clusterfuck of a series to continue or not, but if there's another sequel, I know I will read it and then hate myself yet again.
