It took me a chapter or two to remember everything that had happened in the 1st book (it was 3 years since I'd read it), but I was quickly pulled back into the world and desperate more for Ivy and Adrian to figure things out than if they discovered the staff. Given how the book ended, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Ivy doesn't see Adrian's protection for anything else.

What happened? I remember I enjoyed The Beautiful Ashes, but this sequel... It was much more focused on the romance. It was basically Ivy fan-girling about Adrian with some minor action as filler. The plot was interesting, but felt secondary, because Ivy could not think past her love problems and always came back to them.
I will probably read the next book since it's the last one, but will always recommend Night Huntress series as the best by Jeaniene Frost.

Full review to come, but stellar work from Jeaniene Frost. I liked this one even better than THE BEAUTIFUL ASHES, and found the chemistry between Ivy and Adrian to be electric. The internal conflicts were standout for me as was the romance.
Very much looking forward to book three, because

It breaks my heart to rate this book so low. I love Jeaniene Frost, I mean I LOVE her. I think she is a fabulous writer and I just think she is the sweetest lady... I mean I haven't ever met her but she is so sweet in her interviews and in her blogs.. lol.
Anyways, I kind of didn't like this book at all. I can not stand the heroine. Ivy is a moron. She just found out about this whole other world 6ish months ago and she thinks she knows everything. She yells and tells like the head angel guy that he is wrong and that she could do his job better. She was absolutely obnoxious in this book. I wanted to punch her 99% of this book.
The story line itself was good. They went after the 2nd holy artifact. But I honestly couldn't get past Ivy. Nothing else stood out except how much I disliked her.
I am absolutely going to read the next book. I need to know how it ends but this one just didn't do it for me.

Meh Stars. I felt like everything in the book was a little predictable. Which led me to loose interest in the story line. All the Characters seem to come off very flat to me and left the whole book a little underwhelmed.

3.5 stars. The story was slow at times and I didn't see any chemistry between the main characters. However, the ending was intense and I am excited for the finale!
