I definitely enjoyed this book more than it's predessesor. I can't wait to continue the series. I thought that the quality of the writing improved a lot along with the story line / plot. It seemed more thought out and plausible than the first book. 
 In my opinion I view this series as being mainly about the relationship between Cat and Bones. Everything else is just what they have to go through in order to be together. In which case the first novel was introduction to both of them. Then this novel was about being able to work out the problems that could hinder them from having a relationship. I picture the series going on in quite this way with their relationship being tested yet growing. 
 It might seem strange, but I have read the most commited relationships from Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance books which I like. I want to read about couples making it work and loving each other beyond everything else. It's very reassuring unlike those love triangles that seem to pop up in many YA novels nowadays. I have no doubt in my mind that cat and Bones are in it for the long haul. And I am happy to follow.
