Will she ever be able to let her resurrectionist life die?
After killing the hunter who held her captive for her blood, Allie wants nothing more than to leave her resurrectionist abilities behind and settle into normalcy with Ploy, the boy she thinks she loves but isn’t entirely sure she should trust.
Before she can pass down her leadership responsibilities though, Allie’s stab at a new life fades as she uncovers a direct threat to the resurrectionists of Fissure’s Whipp that thrusts her into an ever-tightening snare of enemies. And some are closer than she thinks.
For the chance at a happily-ever-after with Allie, Ploy would do almost anything, including using the dark past he hoped to forget to eliminate the new scheme against her. But when Allie forbids him from getting involved, Ploy must decide if helping the girl he loves is worth the cost of betraying her.

OMG!!! I didn’t want this book to end, but at the same time I was really upset when I had to put it down to go to work. I love characters that are struggling with their trauma, but also trying to be supportive of each other. Both Allie and Ploy quickly drew me in and I wanted for them to figure out how to communicate with each other while also loving how high the stakes kept getting for them in this fast-pace sequel! I still adore Talia, even when she and Allie are butting heads (sometimes literally). I really adored the minor characters too from LowLow to CJ, even the hunters that Jamison was working with…but I won’t go into details because spoilers. I’m also thrilled to see that the same narrators from Vial Things are narrating this book. I’ve already checked the audiobook out of the library so I can reread this!
Change is hard. This is a great follow-up to the first book. The growth between Allie and Ploy both individually and together is massive, and it made reading it a pleasure. The introduction of the the new characters and new baddies kept the story moving and opened the world up even more. Loved it.
This ended up good but when I had 3 hours left on the book I was so upset at it that I went 4 days without listening to it. But after getting thru the one part the rest of the book was really good.
