This one is slightly better than the first book in this series. 
Evangeline still is foolish in a lot of ways, but she seems to have learned from her massive mistakes in the past book and is acting a little more cautious now.

I didn't really like the writing in this book though. For me, it just fell flat and that's a big no no. Some of the words felt weird when put together. 

However, I would be lying if I said that I'm not enjoying the progression in Evangeline's and Jacks' relationship. Stephanie has been consistent in making them hate each other as much as possible but also be really caring when needed. It's balanced. I did like the way this book ended (even if it was a massive cliffhanger) but it just shows how much Jacks' really cared for Evangeline, no matter how hard he tries to hide it.
