This is book 2 in the fosters series and I really enjoyed book 1 which featuerd Joley’s sister Amanda. Unfortunately this one fell flat for me. I loved Joley and finding out about her past. She was funny and a lovable wounded character. I also adored her siblings. They were such a cute family. 

The supposed romance is where it went downhill for me. I couldn’t feel any of the chemistry. It definitely felt more like a lust thing than a real connection. Seth just seemed to be obsessed with Joley’s boobs and she was constantly reduced to just her looks, including by herself. 

The plot was all over the place and I couldn’t cope with the amount of times they ran away from each other and then we had a time jump. I did like that it wasn’t an insta love thing but it took the suspense building a bit far. This one is darker than book one with added tension from a gang leader villain threatening everyone which is probably the only thing that kept my attention. 

I received a copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion
