Okay where to start with this review. I liked the book a lot and its a great addition to the series, but Dovey didn't resonate with me the way Nora did in Very Bad Things. Dovey was hard for me to relate to, but that doesn't mean she was a bad character by any stretch of the imagination. I loved her back story, and I loved the fact that she was attaining what everyone said her entire life she couldn't attain. I LOVED Cuba's backstory and I wish we could have delved into that a little deeper. I also wish we could have spent a little more time with Dovey and her Very Wicked deeds and her time with Barinsky.

I loved Heather-Lynn and Sarah. They were a great addition to the story, and really what made the story more emotional and tug at your heart strings.

I know I keep going back to how I didn't care for Dovey as a character, I really felt like she didn't grow as a character. Yes her perspectives changed, but she ultimately stayed the same. Cuba on the other hand grew and changed massively throughout the book, which is why I think I liked him more. He lost a lot, ditched the self blame, dropped the walls around his heart, and learned how to put other people first. It was a great journey. In my opinion I think this book is more about Cuba than it is about Dovey.

I did enjoy this book, and do hope for another book in the series, perhaps Sebastian or Emma (we HAVE to know what happens there). I recommend this book to everyone who likes a good series, this is definitely one of the best series I've read in awhile. I do also recommend you read Very Wicked Beginnings as well.
