Alyssa has won me over again with Focus. Like with Flight, I found myself grinning from ear to ear the whole time I was reading this book, and I really don't know why?! After reading Flight, I immediately dived into Focus because I honestly loved this world and these characters so much. 
 In Focus, Allie goes through her first semester in college, meets new people, and there are plenty of good times that ensue. She also has to deal with what's expected of her, being Levi's "mate", which comes with a lot of responsibility and danger. I definitely liked Allie more as I got to know her. She really cares for her friends and despite this beautiful guy who is head-over-heels for her, she doesn't let him take her away from her friends and remains pretty independent, which is rare as most girls tend to get so engrossed with the guy that they forget to live their own lives. Allie takes time to hang out with her friends, study like crazy for her exams, even visit her family, which is pretty hard to do if you've read how irresistible Levi is. I definitely give her snaps for that! 
 Allie and Levi finally get more alone time where they hash things out and work on their relationship. I love how things progress for them and their relationship, though tumultuous and rocky, is definitely one I'm rooting for. A lot more secrets are revealed and you get to see more of Levi and who he really is. Yes, Levi still keeps secrets from Allie and Allie still lets them slide, but she's become a lot more determined to figure out the truth and to not let Levi get away with everything. Still upset over Levi's deception in Flight, Allie makes him work to win back her trust and I loved how determined Levi was to get her back. What he did was definitely not something I would easily forgive. After things are resolved, Allie learns that Levi is still hiding some things from her, particularly an important detail of their relationship, which Alyssa alludes to at the end of the book. I'm starting to think he's doing this because he truly does love Allie and is afraid of what she might do if she learned the truth, but still, he just needs to lay it all on the line and if they truly love each other, things will work out. 
 Anyways, did I mention how much I love the secondary characters in this series, too? Hailey is such a sweetheart, ever the lovable best friend, and you get to know Jared and Owen a bit more here, which I loved. They have a bit of an edge, but they're really great characters who I'd love to see more of. 
 And DAMN those cliffhanger endings!!! Why did you do it, Alyssa, why?! Sigh... 
 That ending definitely blew me away and even though I suspected something was going on, I definitely didn't see that coming. I love it when a sequel is just as good, if not better, than its predecessor and I didn't expect anything less from Alyssa. I seriously love this author! Focus is just as action-packed as Flight and the romance is truly sizzling. I devoured every minute of it. Now I'm just slowly dying inside waiting for Found!
