3.5 to 4 stars 
 You know, having a professional editor isn't always a bad thing.. And, as much as I love my indie authors, sometimes publishers do actually do the right thing by approving the chopping of un-needed text in a story. 
 I should explain that I did enjoy this book, as well as the one that came before, but, honestly, they were just both too long and too full of extra stuff that was unnecessary. The action in this book was great.. but it was too few and far between and was surrounded by too much filler. So, I think a good editor could have gone in and really polished this up. 
 This book continues the story of Maggie and Caleb and Maggie's ascension into the Ace's culture by imprinting with Caleb as each other's significants. I have to say, I love this idea! The idea that the other person is absolutely everything to you. You feel what they feel, and vice versa and there is nothing but devotion and love. Of course, this is purely fiction,,, but I love it anyway (hopeless romantic here). Maggie and Caleb grow closer in this book and learn about each other, as well as themselves. The readers also learn more about Maggie's brother, Bish and his past. And, we get to see happy things for Kyle (finally,,, although he was getting on my nerves how he couldn't see to let go of Maggie). I was extremely annoyed with the whole situation with Bish and Jen and I really hope that the author takes care of that loose end in the next installment. 
 All in all, I will wait a bit to continue in the story with the next book as I feel a little worn out by these two. And, I hope that the author is heading somewhere with this,,, not just leaving us in cliff hangers with each book.
