Cursed Frames (The Scarred Bullet Series #2)

Cursed Frames is the second book in the Scarred Bullet series by Serena Kearney. I received a complimentary copy for an honest review. We were introduced to Willa and Dem in book one, Dazed Bullet. They had just graduated from Law School and were going their separate ways but promised to keep in touch. We had learned that Dem had been beaten by his mother but his big sister, Daze, saved him, literally, when they were kids. We also learned that Willa was incredibly shy and skittish as a result of something from her childhood. Daze alluded to an attraction between the two, although they claimed to just be best friends. Fast forward to book two, Cursed Frames. It was told in the singular POV, Willa. It had been six months since graduation and there was a reunion of sorts at a local bar. It took them a while to get together, although, they had both pined for each other from day one. I loved that once they were together they acknowledged their feelings and ran with it without drama. There was tons of drama, but they were external conflicts, not relationship conflicts. I loved how Kearney meshed the two worlds of Willa and Dem. The initial meeting between Ashe, Minnie, Dean, Daze and Bullet was so natural and not forced that I could easily picture that happening in real life. It also set the potential stage for more stories within the series. I really like the development of the storyline, until it peaked. There were several issues at the end that didn't quite make sense to me and left some holes in the storyline. I loved where it was going but felt it needed to be fleshed out more. All in all, it was an interesting and entertaining read. Dean is next and I can't wait to hear his backstory, have a front row seat to his healing and celebrate his HEA.
