In starting this book, I somehow missed the fact that this was book 2 of the series. I spent the first little bit of the book slightly confused, but was still able to follow along with the story just fine. It wasn’t until quite a bit later that I realized I missed a book, but even with that issue I was perfectly able to keep up with the story line. Part of the reason that was not an issue was the very detailed and descriptive text used by the author – to a point of being overdone in some areas. I’m generally a fan of details, but I think this book – especially now knowing it was a second book in a series – could have been toned down a little. Overall, the story was interesting. The “romance” factor of the novel followed closely to the path many series today seem to develop along. While slightly unoriginal, it is a path of progression in a novel that does seem to catch readers – especially younger ones who might be more attracted to these novels. I was not highly impressed with this novel, but it wasn’t a terrible read either. I see this author as being almost amateur (not meant in a derogatory way!) with her style of writing and I can only see it improving with time as she writes more.

About Cassie
I don’t like it when I start off with the wrong book…worse yet the books don’t easily tell you what number they are in the series. I am not a fan of over detailed descriptions, but I appreciate your honest and thorough review.
Yeah, that’s the tough part about series. You usually can’t skip books. It’s much easier to start from the beginning! I know exactly how THAT feels! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :D
I have done that too– its a GRRRRRRRRRRRRR with me– but the book sounds interesting– and worth looking for if you can start with #1 first–lal I am sure Dianna would love it
i usually like series like the twilight one or the iron fey
but its true if u miss one book u are a bit lost
and also it seems like eternity when u waiting for the next book in the series to be released
OMG that has happened to me too! I have also sadly started reading a book only to find out I’ve somehow missed the first 4. :D
i ilove the cover….sometimes i just buy a book from its cover….i can’t help it :)
Happend to me too about five times. I dont know how I could have missed the ones before it…
Thanks for the review!
The cover of this book drew me in. Only too bad you didn’t quite enjoy it. Great review!
i guess the saying dont judge a book by its cover is true. i was thinking this would be a good read, but i’m not so sure now. thanks for sharing
