My Review:
I was completely hooked from the very first chapter! This book was a non-stop rollercoaster of emotions, keeping me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. The romance was absolutely delectable, striking the perfect balance between sweet and angsty. There were also some perfectly timed spooky moments that added an eerie vibe, making it an ideal read for the fall season.
What really stood out to me was how much I enjoyed this sequel even more than the original. The plot felt tighter, the stakes higher, and the character development deeper, which made it all the more engaging. The author truly stepped it up, delivering a satisfying continuation of the story while also bringing fresh twists and emotional depth. I’ll definitely be recommending this book to anyone who loves a blend of romance, suspense, and a dash of the supernatural!
