Even though I gave the book a pretty high rating I had a few issues with it. One of them being that even though the build up to action scenes was intense enough to keep me intrigued, the actual action scenes seemed to hold barely any action and are settled within a couple of pages. The final fight they had could have been so much more intriguing. I found myself thinking that about a lot of the action scenes (view spoiler)[ especially the one against Elena vs. Neha's daughter. Like she was so much stronger than elena and was caught so easily by elena that it was just really disappointing. she went through all that training and didn't really even get to use it or if she did I couldn't tell (hide spoiler)] 
 Another major point is the way some of the book is written! it seemed so choppy at times because of lack of descriptions and transitioning. One minute a character would be doing something and then they'd suddenly be doing something completely different without little transition being explained. And the way some of the new areas, items and scenes were described were so confusing. I was really confused when Elena knew how to fly all of a sudden. (view spoiler)[ Though I really loved her first session when he pushed her off the cliff, aahh romantic lol (hide spoiler)] Maybe I just read too quickly. ALSO I still don't understand how they wear the special designed shirts and how Raphael "seals" his?!?! 
 Aside from these points I really did enjoy the book and will continue the series because I love the characters and want to see what will happen next in their lives. I hope that in the next book Elena will be a lot stronger and be able to fight back a bit more against Raphael need for control. She seemed to be a lot less headstrong than she was in the first book. I'm happy to see that they have been able to build trust in one another and hope to see that continue. I'd also like to get to know more about the Sevens AND LITTLE SAM AND THE LITTLE ANGEL BABIES!!!! The author really should have gave us more scenes with them, wasted opportunity!! Hopefully the next book has better details, less lusting after everyone and sex scenes, and actual intense action scenes that make it worth it.
