ACTION PACKED! AWESOME SEQUEL TO THE FIRST ONE! 
 First, let me admit to y'all that I waited for the perfect moment to read this book. You see, I thought the ending to the first book was already perfect. I thought I didn't need more confirmation of their happily ever after. However, I was wrong. I needed more of them. I needed to know about him and Raine. I needed more of Sebastian Stark. 
 They pick up where they left off in the first book. Sebastian and Raine are currently living in Miami. In a building with many other people. Hey at least they're near the beach, right? 
 Nope. 
 Raine hates the beach now. She doesn't like it now because of their time at sea. Ironic really because Bastian loves it as much as she hates it. 
 And that's a problem. 
 You see, in the first book, we already know that Sebastian could be a jerk. A real jerk about almost everything. He has a temper, but he acts like he's a child around Raine. Here in this book, Bastian becomes more of a jerk. I think it's really the stress of having more people around. I know how he wants the solitary life (WITH RAINE), but since he couldn't have it, he put up with it but is all stressed about it too. In all fairness to him, I think the gentle, caring and loving (not that he ever stopped saying or expressing his love for Raine) Bastian has always been there, he just needed a purpose. He needed to be needed. 
 That's where the complication comes in. 
 He's called again. 
 To fight. 
 'Til death. 
 *sigh* 
 I know, I know. He shouldn't be doing that anymore, being a retired fighter and all that. However, there's an important catch. That catch is his reason to stomach what he's about to do when he said yes to fighting again. 
 Yes, he's fighting again in this book and the number 1 rule is that there's only ONE survivor. ONE ONLY! He has the right motivation now, so he should really come home alive! 
 I had no doubt that he'll come out as the winner, but how he does just that is the thing that you have to look forward to. 
 THE ACTION. IT'S PURE EXCITEMENT AND THRILL! Honestly, it was like watching a movie - like the adult version of HUNGER GAMES. I loved every page of it. You must think that I'm some kind of a sadist, but no. I'm not all for the killing, I'm all for Bastian's survival and the methods of each and every one of them in that field. Definitely a must read! I love the way he pushes himself and the way he observes his opponents. His focus is the best thing. He's just plain awesome that way. :) 
 I admire Raine's strength in all of this. She might not be physically strong, but mind and heart? She's amazing! I love how she sticks by his side no matter what. She must really love him and I like that for them. 
 The twists in this book is never ending. I totally think that there's another book coming since there are some lose ends in here. I want to see what will happen to other characters like Landon. I actually want to see if Bastian would get a regular job. I know it's a long shot since I can't even imagine him as anything but a fighter. It'll be interesting to see. 
 All in all, Shay Savage is still a genius in my opinion. This is an awesome book. Truly awesome!
