The Pet Series #2
Pet: Torment
He came. He conquered. He took everything.
After risking it all for her planet, Iris has been forced to face reality. Earth is lost. Now that Iris has returned with the alien responsible to his home world, she is left grappling with her guilt and the foreign emotions stirring inside of her for the Leviathan leader himself, Remus.
As they slowly begin to let their guard down with one another, they are blindsided by the secrets that linger in Remus’s past—a past he can’t remember. These secrets threaten to unravel the already fragile relationship blooming between them, while destroying everything around them.
Now, Remus’s former captive may be the only person who can save them from the enemy lurking in the shadows.
Because not every enemy wears a mask.

I loved being back in this story. There is something about Remus and his crazy abusive bullshit that keeps me coming back for more. LOL But there were a couple grammatical errors or facts the author forgot.
For example: Remus and his sister are god like deities that don't need to eat but can. When his sister's pet is killed, the author writes Xion was so depressed she wouldn't eat. Hmmm okay?
I will be reading the next one.

Haley does it again. I am obsessed with this series and everyone I recommended it to ends up loving it as well.
This story picks up right after the ending of Genesis and you get to see Iris and Remus adjust to life off earth. Just when you think there may be progress shit goes down to throw a wrench into our lovebirds story.
It’s heartbreaking and you are rooting for them to overcome the odds. Remus remains elite and his dedication throughout the book to prove to iris that she belongs with him is so extraordinary. He is one of my favorite MMCs.
Iris who frustrated the hell out of me in book one grows on me significantly in this book. I am excited to see how that continues in the next one.
I am impatiently waiting for the third installment.

Liked this book even more than the first one!
We get to know a bit more about Remus and his siblings past, while also seeing how his relationship with Iris is going.
I wish I had the third book now!

An excellent sequel that I completely inhaled, it surpassed all of my expectations. While I also enjoyed the first book, the second book really improves on the world-building, pacing, and immediately hits its stride. It's an electrifying continuation, full of action and emotion.
The plot picks up right after the events of the first book, where Remus (MMC) and Iris (FMC) travel to his home planet. We're introduced to more of his lineage and childhood, and exactly why he's so different from other Leviathan. It's engaging from then on and none of the characters escape consequences or heartbreak.
Remus is one of the most interesting protagonists I've ever read in a sci-fi romance and he really goes through it in this book. This man is down bad and made many sacrifices to show her. Iris is his perfect counterpart and she stays true to her character. She's just as stubborn and brave when it comes to Remus.
The best part of this book is definitely the improvement on their romance and relationship. Both characters experienced growth and emotional depth, and I loved in particular how much tension they had chasing each other. Their relationship is frequently challenged and the ending was well earned by them.
While we were given answers to many things, it ends with just as many questions. Definitely looking forward to the third book.

Completely nailed it! What an epic
This book takes you places you were NOT expecting. There's world-building, side stories, side romances, character depth and relationship development that feels authentic.
The story picks up where Book 1 left off. Iris has chosen life but very firmly, not Remus. She needs to acclimatise to new threats and figure out the point of her existence now Earth is lost to her. She also needs to realise that humans destroyed their own world before Remus came along.
I like that this book spanned a proper length of time, that the imagined alien world had its own landscape and culture and time zones. That the background and upbringing of Remus was explored. Felt nervous for the characters when the 'threats' came to the surface and was not disappointed with the end. Very excited for book 3 whenever the author is ready. I do hope a proper explanation is given about why Remus went to Earth as 'Xions revenge' and the missed explanation about why he was depriving himself and couldn't feed off someone other than Iris.

Absolutely loved it. It developed even more beyond the first book. Iris continues to evolve which is exciting to read and I’m so curious to see how she and Remus continue to develop in book 3. The world building is very exciting but so often we are like Iris, trapped in one space or another. It’ll be interesting to see if and how that expands in future books. I feel mixed on whether I want Iris to become more powerful as it seems like she’s the humanity Remus needs to stay sane. However, it’s stressful how fragile she is. All in, excellent book that was even better than the first book, which I also loved. Great job Haley Inez!

Great new instalment of the Pet series, been waiting for this for a while.
Overall good second book, I think some of the questions that needed answering were there. The book I feel, was a bit rushed in comparison to the first one this could be owing to publishing commitments.
I liked where the story is going and am intrigued for the next one!

It was an excellent book. When I read the first book Pet Genesis I loved it but I had NO IDEA there would be a book two that continued Iris and Remus story after they leave Earth. If you think Iris and Remus's story becomes this boring love story in book two boy are you in for a shocking surprise. I enjoyed this continuing story and look forward to the next book.

Can’t wait for #3!!!
Such a great read. It’s one of the harder stories to predict because Haley has created an entire multiverse full of of unique species. It’s a wonderful adventure and love-ish story. HAHA, just read it to understand how the characters develop purpose and deep relationships based on survival and an odd sense of devotion.
