If Hex Hall was funny and cute but introductory, this one is full of action and information... Archer's past, Sophie's dad, The Council's story... And that cliffhanger at the end, my goodness!! 
 (view spoiler)[OMG, Aislinn Brannick is Sophie's mum... Or her sister or someone from this family, at least. That's why she and her dad couldn't be together. That's why Sophie is having premonitions or dreams. OMG!!! That could be big *___________* (hide spoiler)] 
 When you are more interesting in the content than in the way is written, that means the author did a wonderful job catching your attention, doesn't it? I love Archer's development, but Jenna got a bit lost in the story. Hope, she comes back for the third book... 
 I CAN'T WAIT A YEAR TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS PEOPLE T______________T That's TORTURE!!!! Rachel!! PLEASE!!! I want more, not just one more book, mooooorrrreeeeee, more Sophie, more Archer, more James, more magic, more everything...
