Kodie Mackay's Reviews > Star Cursed

I did it again.

After being emotionally traumatised by the epically huge CLIFFHANGER in book one I do not know what possessed me to jump straight into book two without checking if there was a damn CLIFFY. This was without a doubt a bigger F UP than book one because book 3 isn't out until January and now I'm distraught.

I am not OK.

Ayla and Kadens journey kicks back off where book one left us. Flabbergasted with my jaw swinging along the floor is a pretty accurate visual.

OK I was fuming at the situations Ayla found herself in. She just does not catch a damn break that woman.

I found myself increasingly frustrated by Kaden and his Alpha antics. The constant tests, the unfair non sharing bull. Lordy he was testing me. But I get it. His past... the many betrayals before.. truly I get it. Doesn't excuse his actions but it does explain them to a degree and I also felt in him doing that it made Ayla stronger in herself. She stood up against them all and proved time and time again who she was. Her character really shone through in this story showing her at her best in strength and loyalty and really growing her character in the best ways.

These two have crazy chemistry that left me lusty and frustrated. It was palpable. Undeniable and I definitely seen where it was going with them before it was even spoken. It just made more sense. HOWEVER.... there was a few WTAF moments I didn't see coming. Not even a little. And I loved that. Their journey is so unpredictable with so many possibilities that you cannot see where its going.

The plot is forever evolving and I'm so interested to where it goes next with all the different subplots playing into effect. There is so much going on here and of course many unanswered questions but that's typical due to it being a trilogy(I'm assuming). I'm intrigued to see where she takes it next. Especially given that ending. I know for sure there will be a few more jaw dropping surprises along the way.

Oh and the characters of it all.. so many faces I'm interested in knowing more about. I really enjoyed seeing more of the pack dynamics and the characters coming out of their shells.

I'm honestly gutted that I have to wait two months for book three. I'm emotionally invested in their journey and I really cannot wait to see where Ayla journey is going. There is so many questions left to answer. But book two did not disappoint!!!. It brought action, suspense, humor and so much steam. I felt all the feels and I was so consumed in this journey!!.

January cannot come quick enough.
