 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 This book is even better than the first one and even tho I was in a weird "dnf'ing" mood for the last couple of monts, I finished this in only 2 sittings. 
 The main problem I had with the previous book, I didn't encounter in this one. 
 It didn't take me a while to get into the story and I actually didn't want to skip Mirabella's POV's like last time. (Mind you, I still don't like her and the fact that everybody immediately loves her, really get's on my nerves.) 
 I'm so glad that this book didn't let me down since it was one of my most anticipated releases of 2017!
