Liked the plot better than #1 but it was slightly more adult-friendly

I loved the insight we got into Lilah’s character, and into Kell and Rhy’s relationship. The first half is a bit slow, but it does build to an incredibly intense ending. Have the third book on hand!

Damn this series gets good so fast. Alucard is the glue and the charm that the first book lacks, and the banter is so good the pages just slip away.

This book could be a contender against the Well of Ascension by Sanderson. It was amazingly crafted , action packed, fast paced, and pulls you into all the story lines. I immediately pick up the next book.
