This was a good read if you enjoyed the Beautiful Creatures series. The story primarily focuses on Ridley and Link. I didn't really care for Link previously and this story did nothing to make me like him more. Ridley, on the other hand, is growing and evolving as a person. We learn a lot of her backstory through flash backs and understand more of why she feels the need to be bad at anyone's expense. 
 My biggest complaint, is I didn't really feel like the opening chapters grabbed me. The books starts of with the six "friends" (Lena, Ethan, Liv, John, Ridley, and Link) gathering for one last night before they say goodbye and head off to their own destinations. Honestly, if I hadn't read the Beautiful Creatures story, I might would have put it down as opposed to just pushing through those first few chapters. 
 The story then picks up as Ridley and Link head off to New York to jump start Link's music career. The story doesn't necessarily have a lot of action. This is more of a story about Ridley and her self development. There is a bad guy looming and Ridley is in some serious trouble, but that plot doesn't get totally developed with this story. 
 The clif hanger is pretty good. I was in shock and had a lot of questions. So, that might be worth reading the book just to get to that crazy cliff hanger.
