This book was every bit as dark and thrilling as the first one. I think I may have enjoyed it even more than its prequel (even despite the lack of Liam/Ruby) which is very rare for a sequel. It was dark and terrible, and the kind of book that you don't want to read because you're afraid of what will happen to the characters when you do, but at the same time you can't stop. 
 There were a few concepts, mainly towards the end of the book, that had me confused. Pieces of a puzzle would click into place in Ruby's mind, and I'd be still trying to figure out what it meant or why it was relevant. Other than that, I thought the book was very well-written, and definitely hard to put down. 
 I might have been able to write a more in-depth and insightful review, but I'm still mourning the cruel and unnecessary death of my second-favorite character. Brb sobbing 3
