4 STARS!"Don't become him," Charlotte whispers. It nearly undoes me, the begging note in her voice. "Don't let him turn you into this."Ever since finishing Net Worth I have been not-so-patiently waiting for its follow up. Following the Cornerstone fire, everything is pretty much turned upside down for Mason and Charlotte, and Mason is out for blood. It's no secret that Mason is gunning for Charlotte's father, after what he did to Mason's parents all those years ago.I have to say, I struggled with Charlotte in the first book. I felt like she could not have been more blind to who her father was, blood or not. But in this book, I was glad to see her have more of a backbone and stick to her gut instincts more. I also loved how she didn't hold back when it came to Mason, regardless of the consequences.And Mason, though try as he might, cannot help his developing feelings for Charlotte, and I was freaking here for it!! There's nothing I love more than watching an anti-hero thaw to his heroine. I did feel for the guy in this one, where as I kinda thought he was an ass in the first book. He's pretty much carrying the weight (and the guilt) of the world on his shoulders and it's beginning to wear on him bigtime."I couldn't stop myself from falling. And I can't stop myself from kissing her, stealing the rest of her words for myself."I always struggle with book 2 of trilogies because I often feel like they consist of mainly filler material. While this installment was definitely not that, there were a few times, particularly in the first half of the book, where I didn't feel that the story was moving forward. Later on in the book, that was definitely not the case. And Mason's continuous use of the "sweet little thing" endearment began to grate on my nerves personally. I think this is a me thing though, because I read many reviews where the readers said they loved this. I don't mind the endearment itself, but it just felt like it was used to the point of overkill here.However, those were my only struggles. I LOVED the key moments of intimacy we got between Charlotte and Mason.But happiness and peace are two things that have thus far been short lived in this world, so things come to a head in the end and finish on a cliff hanger. So once again I will be NOT SO PATIENTLY waiting for my next fix of these characters. The ending sets the stage for a huge showdown where really no one is safe. And I can't wait!!I highly recommend this series to fans of edgy, dark-ish stories with broken characters.
