This second book in the trilogy was better than the first in some ways and not as good as others. For instance, I wish more things had been tied up in this installment. However, I luh-huv who turned out to be the bad guy! Loved it! Called it a bit, too, so I dug it even more! I like the fact that the setting of this series is different than most stuff on the market for YA's these days, too. Nice!
