This sequel was more interesting than the first book. The story was original and dark in a good way.
We get Anita's backstory, which makes her more relatable and interesting. She also starts going a bit dark and questions her morality. ( )

The first one was ok, but I really liked this. Dominga Salvador was a good villainess. It was a good fast read and I was able to get into the story quite a bit. Hopefully there is a lot more Jean-Claude in the other books. I love his character. Anita just needs to sleep with him already. I am coming to this series way after the fact, My best friend is completely in love with it so it has to be good. I know a bit about the controversy and poor reviews for the later books. I can't really say anything about it yet as I haven't gotten that far. I'm not loving this series I however like. It is a very entertaining read so far. ( )

I don't remember enjoying the first book very much so only god knows why I picked this one up. I was pleasantly surprised though. My one problem was the interactions with Jean Claude, as their conversations got so repetitive I ended up skimming those parts.
Other than that I quite enjoyed it and found the mystery very interesting. ( )
