Eva is truly selfless—the way she threw herself back into the lion's mouth to save her loved ones was incredible. Dana, I’m so happy a certain someone is still alive! 🥹 Shadow Daddy Bash and his team on a rescue mission had me hooked, and the found family dynamic, shining throughout from book 1, is still one of my favorite aspects of this series.

That said, I didn’t feel as drawn to this installment as I did with book 1. Eva’s captivity felt prolonged, but I absolutely loved her parents’ POVs—they added so much depth. And Dana? You nailed the toe-curling spice! Those twists? Like punches hitting from every direction when you least expect them!

The ending was satisfying, but now I’m dying to know—what do you have in store for us in book 3?

Please check the TWs—your mental health matters. Thank you, Dana, for this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts. I’m so happy to be part of the Hellion fam!
