This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
The stakes in the second book in this series are somehow even higher than in the first. Lee has made it to California, but she's far from out of danger. To make things worse, she feels like she's putting her friends in danger as well. She knows that the only way to keep everyone safe is to take care of the Uncle Hiram situation one way or another. But things go from bad to worse really quickly and Lee finds herself (and her friends!) in an impossible situation that she can't escape. This book highlights the racial injustices of the westward expansion even more strongly than the first book did. In fact, pretty much everything is ramped up in this installment: the action, the stakes, the romance. Plus, even though this book is only the second in the trilogy, it gives us a satisfying ending that could almost wrap everything up (so I'm still excited for the next book but I don't feel like I ended this one with pain!).
I give this second book 4.5/5 Stars.
