It’s worse then better

If you were thinking Fallon was going to start acting reasonable, then spoiler alert, you’ll be disappointed. She spends 80% of this book the exact same impetuous, whiny girl of the first book before we FINALLY start to see the growth that was promised. We also get our first spicy scene that’s good, and still…Lorcan is worth it. So yes, I’m continuing on to Book 3 even if I’m not happy about it

Another 3.5 in this series because Fallon is dumb lol. Again, there is lack of wisdom because she is 22 vs century old characters BUT her friends don’t even trust her stupid decisions and they’re similar in age. Being stuck in her head doesn’t help my cause to like her.

Going into book 3 I’m not even sure what to expect. I’d hoped for some change and growth from her in this story.
