The plotting of this one is far better than the first one, but my criticisms of the writing are the same: way too much awkward adverbing, random exposition and the bond between Lissa and Rose is still used as a narrative cheat, rather than for character development. 
 But, just like the first one, plot-wise it was engaging and fun and I liked the subversion of a lot of tropes common in vampiric stories. 
 The audio for this one is far better than the first (different narrator), by the way.
