I really feel for Chester here. He is actually very isolated from the coven and it's all the coven's fault. They made him the person he is. All he went through for them and he is still left all on his own

I loved this one this time. I felt for Chester and really noticed on this read how the coven and the towns people really isolated him and felt it was cruel, as he didn't have anyone.

I liked this one better than the first one by a long way. I commented in my review of the first book that this author uses miscommunication and not talking to each other as a common tool. It didn’t work for me in the first book, but this is one of the cases where that tool works, because there was a reason behind it. Not just one of the characters believing that the other wouldn’t want them and not trying, but actual events that lead up to where they are now. 
I connected easily with Chester as we were in his head and had a glimpse of where he was coming from, Will was a harder character to connect with, I liked him as a character but he was harder to get to know due to all of the half communications. That was the problem I had with this one and I did mark it down because of all of the half conversations where they didn’t really say what they wanted to made it harder to follow along and work out what was going on. 
I still enjoyed the book and will probably upgrade the stars on the re read when all the nuances come out
