The great thing about moving from a first book directly into the second of a series is that you're already invested in the story and the characters. However, quite often, the second book is disappointing in that it feels like a middle book, a "filler" of sorts. Well, let me tell you that this book definitely does not have this feel. It has it's own unique adventure and twists and turns, it's own set of emotions and it's own unique world. As a matter of fact, in many ways, this book is more intense than the first...more bad guys (to love and hate) and more challenges for Evie to overcome. The advantage is that you already love the characters and are invested in the outcome! Once again I found myself glued to my kindle from beginning to end. I can't wait for book 3!
