Short and Sweet:
This is such a wicked, kick-ass series! And the second book does not suffer from 'Second Book Syndrome' at all.

To Elaborate...
It's so hard to put my feelings into thoughts on this one. I don't typically rush to grab fallen angels stories (though I don't run from them either), but this series has so many interesting spins in it that it really stands out. One of the things I really love about the series is that though it is about angels and demons (and the setting/world building is excellent), the characters' actions and personalities stand out. Gaby is still dealing with not remembering anything, and my stomach never ceases to twist around in knots in scary anticipation of finding out what will happen when she does remember what it is that she's forgotten.

Most of this book is intense action. Woven in, and though brief, are romantic/swoony scenes that go on steam overdrive. Rafa and Gabe are still in a complicated mess of sorts, but that doesn't stop them from giving into their feelings from time to time, and I was more than okay with that. :) I ship them so much that I really wanted to see more romance happening with them, but the action needed to be occurring, so I will impatiently wait for book 3 for more swoons.

Overall, this is a fun, upper YA story that commands you to dive into a world of angels, demons, long lost siblings, and intense romance. I would recommend reading it soon after the first book, however. It was probably a year or so since I read the first book, and I didn't have time to a reread before this one. There are some great refreshers throughout, but I still didn't remember as much as I needed to.
