I really don't know how to review the rest in this series without spoiling the first book . . .
I read this one last summer the same week as the first one! I was so excited for the series that we drove 45 minutes to Barnes and Noble for me to buy the rest of the series.
I'll just say that this one is just as good as the first. There were a few places I felt the story dragged but not for long and really not enough to hurt the story at all.
