"Obsessed from page one! The Insiders is yet another addicting read from Tijan."—Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author

If you haven’t check out book one, The Insiders, stop now. Go check that out!

Now, you have to read these books in order, and The Damaged picks up where we left thing at the end of The Insiders. Bailey and Kash are together, and we get to see more of their relationship develop, which I LOVED. Bailey is dealing with her PTSD from the events in book 1, so things are smooth sailing. But, Kash is primo book boyfriend material, and you get his POV in this one. I also loved seeing more of the bond between Bailey and her siblings.

Now, this book is not without the danger and action and the ending will leave you gobsmacked and dying to get your hands on book 3! Don’t say I didn’t warn you! Also, the narrators, Emma Alvin and Joe Arden, do a wonderful job!
