If you haven't read Prey Drive before this, you need to! It's a duet that must be read in order. Trust me, it's incredibly worth it.
Again, what the heck did I just read?
I was thrown into this one with my head still spinning from the ending of the first book. I was trying to get my bearings as I dove right into this and fighting sleep. I NEEDED to know what was happening. How was the author going to spin this around to be something unique and different?
If I thought Book 1 was suspenseful, it had nothing on this one. It had moments of chaos, intensity, surprisingly sweet and tender moments, a whole lot of what the fudge did I just read moments, and more. I just
Jovie - I think I loved her more with this book than the previous one. I feel like we get more insight to her. This was more balanced to see her view of events. But with that slight twist. You're still getting this incredible story and background of what happened in book one with her, but at the same time, something new. Parallel, I swear. She has more depth for me in this book. her spirit gets damaged but I felt her fighting so much harder to get answers and balance. Fighting for her life.
Bash - With this one, you see the softer side of him. I have to say I love him more too. You get a whole lot of insight into him in a way that you didn't before. There's that understanding of why things went crazy for him. you see why he has so much emotion when it comes to all of the things that are happening around him. His desire to make that connection again and answers drives him. He's fighting for more than just Jovie, for sure.
Honestly, the way the author was able to just mash these two characters up, twist them around for both books and make you see them in different lights impresses me. In each book, we see the opposite versions of them. While all at the same time, you're living through several key points.
Not to mention the insanity that is The Order. Like, mind blown how that was all integrated. This was the first duet from this author I ever read and I think I need to dive into some more. Once I can get over this book hangover. I'm still thinking about it a few days later.
