This book was even better than the first this series is emotionally, story and most of all character driven you see the characters so through so much but come out better and changed in many ways by the end. I loved the characters even more this time around I loved learning more about each of them I especially loved reading more about Gordo and Mark and how the rift between them was formed. I loved reading from Gordo's POV he a interesting yet complicated character in this book you see how much he cares for the people in his life and just how far he is willing to go for those people. I liked the romance it moved along slowly because of many things that happened in the past but them finally being together by the end was more than worth it. The plot was amazing it starts a bit in the past and recounts Gordo and Cos time away then moves to parts set farther in the past with Gordo's time growing up falling for Mark terrible things happening a rift between them being formed. While also going back to the present with the current events and the Bennet pack fighting to protect them all things are found out and I am looking forward to reading the next book soon.
