I'm not going to be able to say too much about this one because a lot is revealed in the first one which affects the plot in this one but I don't want to give anything away. After some huge revelations in the first book, Alex and Lila are on the run. Jack was hurt and is being held at a hospital they need to rescue him from. Teaming up with some unexpected people they devise a plan to rescue him and put a stop to an evil group. 
 Alex and Lila's romance heats up but at the same time Alex holds back. He wants to wait until Lila is 18 to take things further which is sweet but leaves her frustrated. Lila also worries that Alex's need to protect her is why he stays with her and not because he loves her. Totally ridiculous but she just wants to be sure he is giving up so much because he loves her and not because he feels obligated. She doesn't want to hold him back or ruin his life. He has given up so much for her and Jack. 
 Alex and Lila are teamed up with an unexpected but very entertaining group. Some hilarious characters with interesting powers. Sadly as I said I don't want to say too much for those that haven't read the first book but the group dynamic is amazing. Some crazy plans are made and executed. Lots of action continues. A hilarious scene with Lila trying to sneak into Jack's room wearing a nurse costume and then someone catches her and she tries to pretend she was wearing it to turn him on. Love when humor is added into the action to keep things fun. 
 More revelations are made. Declarations of love. Explosions. Was a great dualogy! Also loved "The Moment" scene in Alex's POV at the end. 
 There is a short novella called Tormenting Lila that takes place after this and includes characters from Sarah Alderson's new book, The Sound. I haven't had a chance to read it yet. There will also be a Lila Shortcuts collection of short stories from different character's POVs released in October with a prequel story where I won a contest to be Alex's girlfriend! So cool! So his girlfriend is supposed to be named after me!

 "What I'm trying to tell you, Lila," he said, his voice husky in his throat, "is that I've always been there, looking out for you, even when you didn't know it - even when you couldn't see me." 
 My stomach flipped. Alex took hold of my hands and squeezed. "Nothing's changed. I'll be right there, I promise. You might not be able to see me, but I'll be there." 
 He smiled, a little smile, but the sight of it made my breathing speed up. "I've always needed you. For my entire life," I said in a whisper," and I'm always going to need you." 
 "You're my sister," Jack growled. "He's my best friend. And he brought you back here. I'm going to kill him. He should have been looking out for you, not..." he struggled to find an appropriate word, "doing whatever the hell he was doing with you."
