I originally wasn't going to purchase this book, because after reading the reviews, the ending of the book was spoiled. I still purchased it (months after the release), because I loved Mak and Khalil and regardless I wanted to continue to read their story.This book had me totally in my feelings. Lashanta Charles wrote a phenomenal book and although I do no agree with the ending, I totally loved this series. The characters felt so real and I enjoyed reading about them. All the unanswered questions from part one were answered. The scenes were action packed and vivid. I could see the MMA fights, the dance routines, and the singing. I felt the characters' pain and honestly I was crying and emotional with them.Nyeem was psycho, but at one point (when he was semi normal), I was kind of rooting for him to find true love. I thought of his obsession with Makenzyee as wanting something or someone so bad that you won't give up until you get them. He had it bad and he wanted her and he stalked her so much that he knew so much about her that it was crazy. I felt his genuine appreciation and love for her, but I also realized that you cannot force someone to love you and to be with you....then I snapped out of it.The ending was something I did not expect. As much as I wish it was just a dream and everything could be rewinded, it can't. I can appreciate that the series is completed. As a hopeless romantic who's always looking for the happily ever after, I've learned that happily ever after can mean being happy mentally without fear versus with a mate.I think this series needs a soundtrack, because all the songs within the book totally had me in my feelings and I was downloading them and listening as I read...and cried.All in all, this was an excellent book. I cannot wait to read more from Lashanta Charles.
