There's plenty of action, and the first chapters contain far more than I had anticipated, though, this was extremely welcomed. A lot of the time I find myself disappointed in the second book of a series, especially within trilogies, but this was not the case - rather than the plot slowing down, the entirety of the book feels purposeful following a largely similar structure to the first. Alina's character feels like she becomes far more developed, more than two-dimensional, and some of my favourite characters of the Grishaverse are introduced in this book: these also being ones that most fans are fond of, in case you need something more to look forward to.
Overall, this book beat the expectations I had of it, having gone into the series blind as I usually try and do. Whether you're a fan of the first book or not, it's worth continuing with the series, and if you loved it then I doubt your opinion will change on it at all.

As for the rest of the story, I loved the connection between Liam and Jon. It was instantaneous and I knew that something good was going to happen between them. We didn't even have to wait that long for it to happen, within the first 10% or so. I had goose-bumps!
I think that Jon was a little blind to Liam's behaviour. From before the half way point I could tell that something was happening in his life and it didn't take too much thinking about to figure it out.
That showdown at the end was really good though, hence my little cheer at the top. I'm so proud of Liam!
One thing that made me mark it down a little was the amount of sex in the book. Don't get me wrong, I love them together as a couple and some of the sweeter moments between them happened in bed but I can only read so many sex scenes before I get a little bored...
Other than that I really liked it!

I love Kiki, her resilience, how she knows who she is, the beautiful soul that shines from within......I also ache for her.....becoming your true self isn't easy, especially with bullies always there. The support that a "normal" girl would get from their parents is lacking on her father's side, I hate him, his outdated ideas and his constant verbal abuse.
Josh is like a lot of people....blind to the signals of interest. I feel for him as it does cause a few issues.
He also has his own identity to look into and work out what he wants from life. So on the whole I like him but he'd definitely be the mate I sigh about the most.
It hurts knowing that this brilliant piece of fiction mirrors so many people's lives. Worse that it's the young that have to behave like adults and deal with things that adults themselves seem unable to wrap their heads around.
Regardless of who you are, where your niche is READ THIS!!

They’re all such well-rounded, well-written, real characters, and it all played out in my head like a film (has this been optioned yet?!). I love it when a book does that.
They all seemed to be genuinely nice characters who are getting by as best they can in a culture where drugs are King and poor boys and men of colour are rarely given a chance in life.
Honestly, you should read it. Highly recommended.
