Kayla –
This installment in the series didn’t keep my attention as much as the first one. In my opinion, it’s the weakest book in the series. I was hoping for as much mystery and intrigue as the first book, and that definitely didn’t happen. It was interesting seeing the relationships develop between all the characters though.
