Better Off Dead (The Second Awakening, #2)

4 stars
I was really looking forward to this book. Unfortunately, without the complex political intrigue of the first book, it just didn’t deliver. Here, while Tobias is still uncovering some secrets, it is clear that he knows most of his past. Romantic interests are getting stronger, and some storylines are ties up here, but there’s still a major cliffhanger in this novel. A lot of this storyline felt rushed, like it might have been better as two novels instead of just one. I’m not sure what future novels will bring, but I hope the author with take his time and give the story the detail, worldbuilding, and patience it deserves.

Thanks to GRR for this ARC. All opinions are my own.
