Okay, I marked it as "read", but the truth is I haven't finished it yet and I don't plan to unless I have a lot of time to kill. This book has what I like to call, "The Sequel's Curse". The first book in this series, Beta, is great. I really liked that book and I thought it was pretty original and I also loved the cover. But this book? The sequel? It's either slow-moving or so fast you just kind of sit there thinking, "Wait, what?" and along with that, I really don't like the cover! It's nothing like the first book's cover (the version with Elysia's face and the tattoo), which was really pretty. Also the titles don't go together which I mean isn't a big deal, or it shouldn't be, but it is to me.
I don't know, I got over half way through this book and I just don't want to waste another hour reading it when I have a stack of other books I'd much rather read. So like I said, I'll save it for a day where I just want to kill some time.
I guess if you really liked the first book or if you really want to read this one, I recommend getting it from a library or borrowing it from a friend, because I really don't think you want to risk spending that money for a book you might not like. It could just be me though so I don't know, get it if you want it, I guess.
