(Somewhere between 3.5 and 3.75) 
 It's always hard to review a sequel. I mean, I don't want to give away anything from the first book, although you really shouldn't be reading this without reading book 1, right?! And, I can't really get into the plot of book 2 without referencing spoilers in book 1... 
 So, I'll assume that if you've stumbled upon this review that you've already read and loved Rebel Belle, and you're now just wondering should you continue on to book two... 
 Well, duh! Of COURSE you should! 
 I'll just give you a fair warning.... 
 Don't expect it to be as funny as book 1. 
 Don't expect it to be as charming as book 1. 
 Don't expect that Harper's constant use of words like "BOYFRIE" doesn't get kind OLD by the end of this one. 
 Be prepared to feel a teeny ripped off --- and a teeny impatient for book 3. 
 Honestly.... and it PAINS me to say it .... I don't feel like MISS MAYHEM really added anything to the story we started in book one. It really, for the most part, just felt like filler. 
 SPOILERS.... 
 They (view spoiler)[find the best friend (hide spoiler)] 
 They (view spoiler)[find out that Harper is going to be tested, and maybe killed (hide spoiler)] 
 They (view spoiler)[find out that Harper's tests are pretty stupid, after all that worrying (hide spoiler)] 
 They (view spoiler)[create an awkward relationship between the best friend and the boyfriend (hide spoiler)] 
 They (view spoiler)[lose David (hide spoiler)] 
 So now, we just need to get to book 3 to find out (view spoiler)[where the hell is David?! (hide spoiler)] 
 I can't lie -- I'm not quite as impatient for book 3 as I was for book 2. 
 That said, there's still some signature Hawkins humor, some southern charm, and enough connection to the whole Rebel Belle vibe that it's still worth your while if you loved the first book. 
 Plus... the cover is adorable!
