I have an admission, sometimes as a reader it’s very easy to become complacent about follow up books in a series such as this. We already have the background, have met it’s characters and it the nicest possible way sometimes it’s almost the same story being told; with just different people telling it. What i’m not afraid to admit is, in this case I was completely wrong. Tillie Cole not only made it a far more gritty story than the first but also so much more emotionally intense.

From Mae’s telling of the story we already know the girls lived in horrendous circumstances. Forced to take part in “Sharings” they were “The Cursed” unclean, impure and spawned by satan himself. Lila being the most obedient and still being strong in her faith, finds life after the cult a struggle. An altercation involving Ky sees him tasked by his Club President and best friend Styx to help her with the transition, at her initial resistance.

I’m purposefully not going into the story, I think it’s best told through them. What I will say is that, I didn’t think I could find beauty in MC Clubs and Cults, but wonderful characters like Ky and Lilah made it happen. They are both incredible characters, I admired Lilah's strength and Ky's ability to love.

Ky turned the key to the vehicle, and the machine roared beneath us. I expelled a shout of surprise and tried to find purchase on something to hold me still. What is happening?I shrilled, holding a handle on the door.Humor was back in Kys face and he said, One, calm the fuck down. The trucks just been switched on. And two, yeah, were leaving the compound. I aint cooking no damn food, and somehow, I dont think youll want one of my sluts doing it.
I do not want to leave the safety of these walls,I said in reply, trying my best to calm my frantic heart and ignore the comment about his sluts.
Ignoring me, Ky pulled a lever on the side of the wheel, and the vehicle moved forward and the gates began to open.
Ky reached down, patted my knee, and said, Tough shit, sweet cheeks. Lesson two, theres more to life than being caged in a protective bubble. You had it at that cult; now youre locking yourself away here. Gotta take life by the balls at some point and squeeze those fuckers with the skill of a whore.
My knee tingled from where his hand had touched my skin. Unused to these reactions, I prayed, Lord, give me the strength to do this today. Give me the strength to resist this sinful man.
So? You gonna shut the fuck up and grab those balls?Ky said, his eyes dancing with mischief.
I nodded and tried to appear relaxed. I could not tell him that my people would be coming back for me, Maddie, and Mae. I remained silent, ready to observe what was about to be revealed as the heavy steel gates opened, letting in the evil outside world.
As we rolled onto the road, I admired the large trees surrounding the small winding lane. This is what it would feel like to fly, I thought, the vehicle quickly gaining speed, the trees a flash of greens and browns to my unfocused eyes.
The world began to rush by so fast that my eyes could not fathom what they were seeing. As I absorbed Gods divine creation, for a moment, I forgot Ky was in the machine with me, that I was away from my people. For but a sliver of time, I forgoteverything.
