Book Review of The Snake Den by Nikki Rae

The Snake Den(Shadow and Ink #2) by Nikki Rae
Genre: New Adult (Dark Paranormal/Psychological Romance)
Date Published: May 31, 2016
Publisher: Self

The box has opened a door to the dark place where the voice Corbin hears dwells. Not only that, but she’s brought it forth in human form, into her world, into the light. But others have been alerted to her existence, and Six is only the beginning of the imaginary becoming real. Torn between her love for Six and wanting a normal life, Corbin must decide if she should live in the light or hide in the dark.

The Snake Den is the second book in The Shadow & Ink series by Nikki Rae. I'm still at a loss with this series. There are more conversations with Six this time, but he doesn't actually answer anything directly. You still have to guess at what he means which is fun and mysterious sometimes, but there comes a time when we need some kind of something so the plot can move along. I do think I know a little more about what's going on, but I could be totally wrong. This could easily be one of those stories where we find out that everything is happening in her head. There are definitely some responses by Six and other things in both books that hint in that direction, but who knows?

 We've gotten to know Corbin pretty well. She's a pretty complex main character and is a bit interesting in her own right. So, with everything we know about Corbin up to now, would she really go to school when someone very important to her goes missing? Okay.. I know. That was sort of explained away, but then she went to a club with her friend after school? What? I know she's a little on the crazy side, but that doesn't match anything we've previously known about her personality at all.

We are introduced to a new character towards the very end. I thought we'd finally get some of those answers, and we very well could have, but I can't discuss it because that would lead to spoilers... This book ended with another cliffhanger.
