Fallen Eden by Nicole Williams, 2011 Book (Eden #2)
After having read the first book in this trilogy (Eternal Eden), I really wasn’t motivated at all to move onto the second instalment of indecisive annoying Bryn and William the creep. But, since I can’t leave a series like that midway, of course, I did pick up the second …
