There was no question that I was going to read Embrace. After The Conduit I was hooked. All of the amazing characters were back and a few new ones tossed into the mix, just for fun. (Dark Army Glee Club = pee your pants funny!!! If for no other reason you MUST read this book to meet them)
The characters always seem so real and not at all forced. The plot was well written and was full of action, adventure, romance, and a lot of humor. Stacey didn't disappoint with her comic relief and more often than not had me in a constant state of laughter.
The guessing game....Rourke has a knack for twisting everything so you constantly question, "Who is good and who is evil" but crafts it in such a way that there is never a dull moment.
I loved the sequel just as much as I loved the first, eben if the cliffy at the end nearly gave me a heart attack!! Stacey's writing style is unique and not easy to achieve or even pull off and for that reason she is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors!!

Stacey Rourke kept me on the edge of my seat in this book and this by far is the best book probably until I read the next one. I just loved the action in this one and of course the secrets that came out. (Mainly about Gabe and his new love interest LOL) Poor Celeste...had no clue.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves reading young adult and loves a little bit of paranormal and fantasy. You'll enjoy the Garrett siblings even more in "Embrace." You'll also fall in love with some of the male characters. *sigh*
Oh...just remember Stacey will leave you hanging at the end of the book. At least I know "Sacrifice" released on Smashwords, and I can go buy it and read when I have a chance after I am done reading other books. It's going to take a miracle to hold me back from reading it though. I need to know what is going to happen next.

My only complaint is that it was too short; I wanted to keep reading. When I got to the epilogue, I couldn't believe I only had a few pages left. I can't wait for the next book!
