Book 2 of the series, while I will admit that overall the story was as satisfying as the first, I will also mention that the author's ability to move forward from the first book to the second is flawed. A truly great author has a way of writing a multi-volume story that pulls just enough details from the previous books into the present that no reader is lost, but doesn't ever repeat so much that a loyal reader gets the feeling she is re-reading parts of earlier books.

LOVED THIS. I would have finished it in one sitting if my eyes weren't closing against my will at 2am. :(

I was in absolute hysterics over many of the one-liners in this book. Rose and Adrian, in particular, are hilarious. I love that Rose can turn her snark on at a moment's notice.

Mind candy. Delicious, delicious mind candy. I finished it in a day. I will say that I'm a bit disappointed that this book focuses so much more on men.

Still, I was already hooked so...I dug it. ...more

Great holiday read. Also much better than the first in the series, which was barely believable at times. In this one the character development continues, and the plot is more exciting, the ending even more so.
Okay, I admit I am probably going to read the others in the series now.
Vampire books. Who would have thought?

I want the love this series, but for some reason I can't love it. I really like it though and found this installment to be fun and rather surprising... (view spoiler)
