My Review: After finishing book one I went on the hunt for a review copy of book two which as you can see above won't be out until Sept. this year. Well I have finished it and it was a bad choice to dive into this one without book three. Because, now I am dying inside and my husband thinks i'm crazy. I finished this and of course it ended on a massive cliffhanger and I will not be able to live anymore without book three in my life.
This one picks up right after the last students graduate and our heroine El has received a message from her mother to stay away from Orion. I have to say that this one picking up right where the other one left off was perfect. With what this book does I would say read them back to back. Because they are pretty seamless if you do. It is more like they took a really long book and cut it into two books. The characters in this one lord we find out so much more about them and fall in love with each of them. Then of course the Mels come to play and all h*ll breaks loose and then the story twists out of no where and these new graduates have to deal with a new set of issues.
The story flows ever so nicely and we even get some major heat in this one so be on the look out for some uber sexy!! This one isn't as gory as book one which was a twist I didn't see coming. The cliffhanger of course will rip out your soul and I need the next one like yesterday. I swear if it comes up for review I will drop everything and start reading it. Because it was just that good.
