"Solid read. Chloe (FMC) does get more annoying in this one than the previous book. The ways the gang gets repeatedly caught or almost caught can lead to some frustration for the reader. However, I like books I can engage with and I definitely engaged with (and yelled at) this book. The ending, as well as the first ending, does end much like a tv show or a movie; heavy cliffhanger and meant as a series. Still solid 4"
"My favorite book is actually the reckoning. It's just has so much adventure and romance 😆"
