This book wasn't really that great to me, probably because of the struggle of Ever and Damen's relationship. Here, they have to deal with the consequences of Ever's (stupid, albeit, understandable) decisions and Roman's ever-growing presence. In this book I found the characters to be quite annoying, especially Haven, who inevitably plays a bigger role in this series than I thought. She is definitely a selfish person who has some serious issues and who I wouldn't choose as a friend if I could, but somehow Ever loves her and you'll see the result of that play out in this book. 
 I did like the new character Jude, who adds a very good twist to this story and the relationship between Ever and Damen. Ever realizes an instant connection to him and as the book progresses, comes to see just how significant he is to her life. But will this be the end of her relationship with Damen? Well, that is what plays out in the rest of the series. Anyways, Jude is a very handsome character who is definitely one you'll like and, so far, isn't tied down with all that drama that the other characters seem to have. I really enjoyed his part in the book and his interactions with Ever, and even though his role in her life does come to be pretty obvious, it's still nice to see how it plays out. 
 In this book you also see how increasingly selfish and self-centered Ever can be as some characters come into play who threatens her "alone time" or privacy with Damen. Even though she is only 16 and reveling in her new love and all, it is a bit annoying at how she can't seem to "share" Damen in any way. Also, her decisions in this book and the last aren't the best, which makes me want to slap her sometimes, and yet, in the end, I still want to see her happy and with Damen. Despite all that drama and all her mistakes, I still love her relationship with Damen and how they interact together. Wanting to see them end up together and see how they conquer all their obstacles to do, is what keeps me interested in this series.
