This is a good book. It is a shame for one to compare it to its first book in the series, but it is something I naturally did. And I liked the first book better. Hence this book was a slight disappointment for me. 
 Not to say it was a bad read. In fact, I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND this book to anyone. If I were to give both books 4 stars, The first instalment would receive 4.45 stars, and this book, perhaps 3.95 stars. 
 In this book, the plot is less wicked on the main characters, but wicked all the same. The characters are determined, focused and strong-willed. Romance is abundant for those sentimental people out there! 
 On the whole, a lovely entertaining read. Rallison is an author that people should look out for.

 What was I thinking?! A sudden mind relapse shouldn't mean that I should forget how to count. These books don't deserve any less than 5 stars! And I take back what I said about the first book being better than this one. Plot-wise, perhaps, but the romance, humour and characters are as endearing as those in the first book. It is amazing to stumble across a series that can maintain the momentum (or rather the adrenaline) beyond the first book. Let's hope it doesn't end here.
