I definitely liked this one better than book #1 plot and character wise. I was a Tamlin hater from day 1 so the direction of the book was very appealing. I do however feel like this book was much longer than necessary. I ended up switching to audiobook halfway through which was helpful in finishing it. Had I not done that I think I would have abandoned the book. I really felt the tension at the ending and it made me want to read more, I just think some middle parts could have been cut to help the pacing of the book.
