It was pretty good. I liked the character development and how the plot unfurled. It was violent and had a lot of language, which I didn't like as much. It is an interesting book and a good companion to the first one.

I think I liked this one almost as much as the first one! I can't wait to get into the next book, Quake!

"He comes only to kill, this man without a heart. Now you must run."
I remember very little about book 1, only that I didn't like it. So color me surprised when I actually enjoyed book 2.
Dylan and Faith, Clara and Wade, Meredith and Gretchen. There is a race here as things start to gear up. A lot of secrets are finally revealed and the story definitely is pushed towards what will be it's conclusion in book 3. I definitely plan to read it.

Dear Patrick Carman,
If your main character is completely useless through 90% of, not one, but two novels, you're doing it wrong.
Love,
Althea
I wouldn't mind if she was some nobody dropped into the middle of a supernatural spat. But Faith is supposed to be one of the five most powerful people on the planet. DO SOMETHING!!!!

Summary- The kids with powers start building up to a face off.
Objectionable elements- swearing
Overall- DNF. Main character was irritating beyond belief and not relatable at all. She was so stupid and unlikeable that it wasn’t fun to read. Intellectually stimulating only for children and even then the bad language would make it unsuitable for them too. The whole plot and story was weak and I wasn’t rooting for the main characters at all. Not worth the read.

O Tremor…I got some things to say to you… and most of those things are good!
Firstly, beautifully written. Completely comparable to the first book in the series, you won’t be disappointed if you enjoyed Pulse then read Tremor. The storyline is taking some of the same interesting turns the first book took, its certainly not slow.
Secondly, and I have to mention this, Faith and Dylan. I love Dylan so much; he is a relatable character with this aura of reliability? Not sure if that’s the word for it, but I like him. Faith on the other hand, I was really annoyed with, especially in Tremor. It was all revenge that, anger this, blah blah blah I’m-not-going-to-acknowledge-the-rules-cause-I’m-a-second-pulse. She was on the edge of total snobbishness and that’s not something I value in my heroines. I also don’t figure that finding out she has a kryptonite is going to knock that girl off her high horse anytime soon.
Thirdly: Hawk, Clooger, and Meredith. I enjoy Hawk so much; he is easily one of my favorite characters. I’m worried about him being an Intel, I want to know more about this. Clooger was just funny; him and Hawk together are amazing. Meredith, I was really surprised to find that hands down I loved her ‘one on one’ sessions in this book the best. The ‘flashbacks’ to her time with Hotspur Chance and Andre were very enlightening and brought a depth to the storyline I really enjoyed.
Those were the words I had to say and now I’m a leaving on a Jet Plane…that is until book three comes out!

It wasn't my favorite of all the books, but it was really good.

I liked this second book better than the first. I thought the story was more compelling and liked the development of Dylan in particular. It's not my favorite YA series, but I'll probably finish it out.
