And the cliffhanger at the end of book 1? You ain't seen nothing til you reach the cliffhanger at the end of this, book 2. I won't ruin anything for those who haven't read this yet, but believe me you're in a for ride. And of course, Ella is still the strong and sassy girl we all love. She's a great friend to Ella she seems so normal compared to all the other kids at Astor Prep.

I still really love Val in this book too. We find out a lot more in this one to do with the other brothers and also other people at Astor Prep, which helps add depth to their characters and the storylines. If only he cleaned up some of his issues, he would be so amazing. I fell in love with the Royal brothers and Callum even more in this book, but I have a massive soft spot for Easton. Or I guess, what was relatively normal in the Royal household in book 1.

So many things are going on (again its not confusing) and you just want to get to the bottom of things and have everything go back to normal. It feels like the stakes are so much higher in this book than the first. I like how it flicks between he and Ella, but I think I love Ella's chapters more. The first difference with this book is that we get some chapters with Reed's POV. But this cliffhanger? Yikes! Boy am I glad that this whole series was already released so I don't have to wait until the next to find out the answers. I thought that damned ending to the first book was bad.
