I freaking adored Bring Me Their Hearts when it came out last year, and I could not wait for the sequel! Happy to report, it didn't disappoint! I'll be keeping this short to minimize the chance for spoiling anything, but if you enjoyed the first book, I think you'll find this one to your liking too.

Zera is once again stuck between regaining her own heart, and keeping her newfound friends safe. Zera is not the monster she thinks herself to be, which is really what is at the core of this book. But what will it take for Zera to realize it? Can she? These are the questions. We learn a lot more in this book about the world around Zera, which I enjoyed a lot. We also get a lot more insight into what makes the characters tick.

Does it feel like a middle book? A bit, yes, but I don't think that's always a bad thing? It didn't feel sloggy or anything, and Zera was funny as ever! And her relationship (or lack thereof?) with Lucien is as gut-wrenching as ever. I loved that Zera's friendship bonds were tested, and now she's figuring out who is truly there for her- and who she is willing to sacrifice for.

I will say, there's a bit with a valkerax that went a bit over my head, but that might just be a "me" issue. Overall, the stakes are higher than ever, and more brutal than ever, and it's set up the third book phenomenally!

Bottom Line: Definitely a solid sequel, bringing back all the characters I adored so much with a lot of added world-building information. Cannot wait for the next installment!
