This book had so much hype building up to its release, that I was eagerly waiting to see what would happen next, I would normally say that maybe I built it up too much, but this time I just think it needed more time and more substance. 
Throughout the whole book, there is absolutely no plot, it is just a cat-and-mouse chase that turns into an 'I hate you, I love you' fight and has no real high stakes that it needs. 
I understand the author said it was a bridging book but for a trilogy, it could've still been that and had a plot to follow. I barely ever see a second book in a series that is shorter than the first.
Over 300 pages of nothing. The only reason it has the rating it does is because the 5 star first book got me attached to the characters.
