They gave me away…now he has me.

I know three important facts—

1. I’m locked up, and my mates betrayed me.
2. Severi isn’t dead.
3. If I don’t get out, Starlight City is going down with my Nexus.

After running for five years, I’m back in Starlight City and my mates finally found out what is wrong with my Nexus. In an unexpected turn of events, my own mates turned against me and handed me over to the new Alpha Supreme, leaving me no choice but to face a trial that will determine my fate in light of the crimes I have been accused of. Even if I didn’t want to kill anyone, even if it wasn’t my choice and even if everyone who died deserved it.

Onyx, Finnegan, Rhodes, Hollis and Aleksander finally know why I rejected them, and they are grovelling for my forgiveness, while fighting to make sure I’m released and safe…but they don’t know about Severi.

There is a monster in the darkness, and this time it isn’t just me.

If Severi gets me…my Nexus will be the last thing Starlight City sees before it is gone.

Okay, so, no, not reading the rest of this series!

As readers, we all have plot points and dynamics that we don’t like reading. This second book hit on a couple of mine.

I actually felt a little sick when I got to the end of reading. Not adrenaline sick, or addicted reading sick, just unpleasant, unwelcomed sick feeling.

While I could tell while reading that there is a wider plot at play, I couldn’t reconcile what was happening as anything good.

I talk a lot about morally grey characters. There is an art to them. It takes a lot to write a morally grey character. It takes a lot to write an enemies to lovers character – believability is essential here.

Usually, everything happens for a reason in a book but I cannot understand how and why some of these reasons would happen to characters who are supposed to be mated and gain their HEA.

I cannot read books that involve –

1. Domestic violence – or really any violence between sexual partners
2. Abuse of children
3. Psychotic bullying, manipulation (or anything involving a character to the point of suicide)
4. Non-consent
5. Cheating

I avoid books that –

1. Involve stereotypical love triangles
2. Love with a character that has no morality
3. Overused plot points
4. Pwp
5. Zero character development
6. Stereotypical enemies to lovers
7. Shy girl turned wild girl plots

I’ll let you make your mind up on which point has stopped me from continuing this series…
