Still so good.
I know people have been saying they don't want Rune and Brand to ever go from friends to something more, but I wouldn't mind it either way. I like Addam, but I could also see Rune and Brand together. They would be explosive.

This was amazing!

It’s pretty rare for me to love a book where I had so much trouble getting into. It took met til at least 40% before I was totally engrossed. I had this same issue with the first book, even though I liked this second one even more.

I think it is because these books start off with the action immediately. There is no gradual introduction to the story, we’re right in the middle of the action from the first page. With both books I wasn’t sure where things were headed at first. I didn’t understand why the things they were doing were important to the overall storyline. But when it started to make sense I was hooked.

This series has some amazing characters. I’m absolutely in love with them.
Rune was incredibly badass in this and we got some amazing scenes where he could show off his powers. And his friendship with Brand was just as amazing. It’s such a treat to read about such a deep bond without there being anything romantic about it.

Addam was still his awesome self, and I just love Rune and Addam together. Not that they had much time to get all romantic in this second installment.. I really hope the author is going to give us some amazing Rune and Addam time in the next book.

And Quinn and Max…. I have so much love for these two. I do hope the author ships these two as much as I do.

After the slow start I went from meh, to interested to loving this book. It had lots of humor, amazing banter, a glimpse of romance, and a lot of badassery.

I can’t wait to read the next book.

And can I just say that the narrator for these books is just perfect. I’m going to keep doing the audios for this series.
