I'm thinking 3 and 1/2 stars but can't quite place it on the 4-star level. 
 More than loved the first book.. but this one was a bit tricky for me to rate. 
 Vaughn and Faith were both painted well in the novel, however, the events didn't give them credit enough. I mean, I found myself more than once skipping through a few paragraphs because I just wanted to see what happens (since I felt said paragraphs drag) and when I saw where I was, I was like.. meh! is that it? 
 This could have been a LOT better. 
 I still like the series though. And I really like where this is going :) so I'm definitely going to keep reading ;)
