In Malum: Part 2, you will learn and see a lot more of Nate and Tillie’s relationship. What Peyton is doing and what her motives are; Perdita is the main location in this book. You also learn the reason why Nate is doing the things he is doing.
Nate’s actions in this book were very questionable, in my opinion. I know he had his reasons for doing the things he did, and I trust him. But sometimes I just wanted Nate to say to Tillie, why he was doing the things he was doing. Tillie went through so much in this book, in my opinion, Tillie is one of the strongest women characters in this series. She finds out more information about her family in this book as well. Tillie and Nate go through a lot throughout the last book and this one. I am so glad that they finally got to be together.
In this book, you get more of what is going on with Madison and Bishop. You can also learn more about Brantley and the people in his life. Seeing more of Brantley and learning more about him, makes me anxious to read his books.

Pain doesn’t define us, it shapes us. We come into this world as newborns, a fresh start. New life, a crisp soul. Then life happens, and every single choice you make has an implication. Every scar has a story, or it doesn’t and it’s just a scar, but whether or not it has a story, it’s still a scar, and that scar doesn’t define us, so why should pain?
“Because knowing you’re okay is worth the pain that having you in my arms causes.”
“We’re all fucking crazy, Tillie, but it’s who we stay sane for that matters. You need to for you. Love is just an anchor. It can either be the reason you drown or the reason you float. You can’t ride on that to keep you sane.”
“You’re not a woman who can be owned. I knew that a long time ago. You may not belong to me, but you belong with me. And there ain’t shit you can do about it.”
