I know this looks crazy but I read the second book for Down Bad and actually really enjoyed it so I thought I would give the first one a chance. I still liked this book, I think the world building and storytelling is really good. I do enjoy the second one more as I was more invested in the couple whereas in this book, I liked them together but was really passionate about them. However, this was still a fun and very good read. I will most likely be reading the third one.
