I enjoyed it but sometimes I feel like there isn't enough of a break from the drama bombs and it makes it a bit hard to read. Plus Lydia continuously putting herself in harms way gets old fast.

This book was a great continuation to the series and I had a hard time putting it down once I got going. Seeing the relationships grow, including the growing pains is just wanted I wanted out of this second book in the series. I cannot wait to finish this series strong, I mean who could resist after that cliffhanger.
