This was very cute, but definitely not as good as the Wallflowers. I really got tired of all the spice after a while. I love Lisa, though. Her descriptions are beautiful and unique. 4 stars!

Okay, what the hell do I even say about this book!?!?? First, I ate it up. Yeah, I couldn’t stop reading. I took a break at around 25ish percent because of the heaviness, but after that, I couldn’t put it back down. I genuinely read this book in one sitting, and that’s saying something. I haven’t had a book capture my attention like this in a very long time. Now, let’s go back to those triggers. This book was DARK. There’s graphic rape and other SA, along with some graphic pedophilia and abuse. It made my stomach hurt so badly. The main characters were also MUCH less annoying than they were in the first book because they’re all fighting for their damn lives. If you go into this book, just know it’s trauma on top of trauma on top of trauma. There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, positive in this book. It all sucks. Now, my least favorite thing was the flashbacks. I really didn’t need so many, and they interrupted the story so many times for needless backstory. And the writing isn’t great or very realistic at points. I actually don’t even really know what to rate this. I’m thinking a shaky 4.5 stars. Read at your own detriment.

“They don’t shut the fuck up. They don’t just sit and listen. It’s in silence we know ourselves, vampire. It’s in stillness we hear the questions that truly matter, scratching like baby birds on the eggshells of our eyes. Who am I? What do I want? What have I become? Truth is, the questions you hear in the quiet are always the most terrifying, because most people never take the time to listen to the answers[…]Put a man in a room for a hundred years with a thousand books, and he’ll know a million truths. Put him in a room for a year with silence, and he’ll know himself.”
