I found the first book and was taken by the cover, so glad I purchased it. Have finished this book, it is also great!!

SUCH an improvement from the first book in almost every way. I LOVED IT. Currently reading the third one :)

I am not sure why this series is not more well known. I have read most of the "popular" series' and am into this one just as much!!! If not more. I haven't cried at a book in years! And none of the other teen series' have done it to me. This series needs more attention! I plan on telling everyone I know about it! Houck is amazing at captivating the characters as well as the readers. You feel like they do at every turn. I can visualize each moment and feel the intensity of each glance. Truly one of the best series' I have read this year.

I absolutely adored this book. To be honest, it was a little hard to get into at first, just because of what had happened at the ending of the first book. However, as it started to progress, there really was no point in me putting it down, and when I had to, it was dreadful. As you get closer to the end, the intensity and tension just builds up so much, and the drama between the characters and their thoughts is just so intriguing. If you loved the first one, you will definitely love this one. And if you haven't started reading this series, I seriously recommend starting right now! These books are about love, battles, curses, century old ways, and the struggle to find out who you really are in the midst of all the chaos surrounding you. This is honestly one of the best books I have ever read, possible the best. Houck is my new favourite author. The way she writes is beautiful and brilliant that I love to be in the world she creates. Stop spending time reading this review now, and go out and get the book. I promise you that you won't regret it one bit.
