I thought the second book was better than the first. It's a quick read, and I couldn't put it down. I'm glad I thought ahead and already have the 3rd book ready.

These books are absolutely awesome! I love the world the author created, it's so interesting.

About the "love triangle": I kind of feel sad for Josh, it's obvious he still has feelings for Cammie and she isn't over him already. Then there's Zach. I have mixed feelings for him. Sometimes he is really sweet and cool, but then it looks like he's keeping a lot of secrets and playing with Cammie.

Well, I'm really anxious to read the next book.

It's fine. I think it was better with Josh as the love interest. More forbidden and interesting problems than what was brought up here. It was fine and the characters are fine, but the boys were all very flat and the times I was most interested were the times Josh was part of the equation. I won't likely be continuing with this series. I think the continuation was decided after the success of the first one because of the forgetting tea thing. This was just predictable and felt like a complete change of direction. Maybe it would all fit together after reading the whole series, but meh. Not worth it for me. There's no real danger or stakes it feels like which just takes all the interest out of it.
