Damon has disappeared, but he holds secrets that threaten Kai's future.

Kai was my favorite of the four in the first book, but this plot just didn't do him justice. Not much really happened in the book and it just felt like it dragged. I was expecting more from Kai's character but this entire book made him unlikable. The entire plot of this book felt like it was just a setup for Damon's story.

I really wanted to like Banks, but there was just no depth to her character. She felt like she owed Damon, but he treated her so horribly. Yes, Damon was her saving Grace as a child, but that doesn't mean that he is worthy of her blind loyalty. Damon was toxic. She needs to grow up and get out from Damon's shadow. 

The ending was so rushed and made no sense. Why was Damon threatening them if he was just going to roll over at the end and do nothing? He just let Will beat him up and then left? He's been built up to be this menacing and scary character that everyone fears, but he is just a sad shell of a man. Yes, his backstory is heartbreaking, but this isn't supposed to be his story. There was so much focus on Damon in this book that it took away from any kind of connection between Kai and Banks. 

Literally everyone in this book needs therapy. 

Honestly, I'm not going to read the rest of this series. It took me forever to get through this one and I almost dnf'd it. I found it really slow and kind of boring. 

Tropes: enemies to lovers, slow burn, insta-love, forced marriage
