Ahh well...in the minority again. I'm quite astounded that most of the reviews are +4 stars and that I ended up debating with myself btw 1 or 2. 
 What a flat story with flat characters. 
 Ok I admit I don't remember much of the first book, except it doesn't really matter here because we're given more of a companion book than a sequel, which is fine by me. I'm always happy to meet new characters, and the plot in itself is not difficult to pick up. Yet it was all over and nothing much was happening and I was SO BORED. 
 The two characters have absolutely NO chemistry (or personality). I guess in some cases insta-love can work if after the initial meet there is some build up. But here the characters are bland and you just don't see what make them "save" each other all over. 
 This could have been a greatly entertaining novel but I ended up needing it to be over not even 3 chapters into the story. Urrgh.
