(my 100th review!!!) 
 *screams* 
 I am such trash for this series!!! 
 Here's a confession: 99% of the time, I prefer a good standalone novel to a series. Most of the time it's because I fall in love with the first book, but the remaining books usually pale in comparison. 
 This series is the exception!!! 
 Even though I gave the first book a solid 5-star too (because it was BRILLIANT), I think I actually liked this book a teeny bit more because the buildup wasn't as slow. AND THE FREAKING PLOT TWIST-- *clutches chest* *falls over* 
 This series is amazing and I am SO looking forward to the next book! 
 (BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO END) 
 Edited to Add: Millard is hands-down my favorite character :')
