I loved Astrid. She has been through a lot, but she is resilient and fierce. The story picks up right where book 1 ends, but follows Astrid, Jagger, and Slade. I liked that we also get Salem and get to know more about the other guys of Apex. There is a connected story arch that flows through the series which is intriguing. While I loved Astrid, I struggle with Slade and Jagger. I liked them at times, but I felt like they crossed lines a little too far, and acted like she should be okay with it, especially Slade. I feel like they should have groveled a lot, but it seemed like they used s£x like their attraction should make it all better. Overall, I am enjoying this series. And I will be checking out book 3.
