Not as good as the first one, but still enjoyable enough. One of my biggest gripes was the deterioration of Inez's character, as I really dislike it when FMCs become complete airheads because of their romantic feelings. I also feel that the author could have taken into account the criticisms the first book received and smoothed over some of the most glaring inconsistencies.

Not everything in this book made sense or added up, but I had an absolute blast reading this atmospheric adventure, and don't even get me started on that ending! I loved Inez and Whit together and cannot wait to see where the story goes.

A decently engaging series with consistent quality throughout. The only aspects not to my taste was the lack of on-page development of some vital aspects to the story, such as the romance between Citra and Rowan. Since we don't see their feelings developing, the whole thing feels incredibly forced. The author repeats this with
Greyson and Purity
and
Rand and Tyger
, and then finally gets it right with
Greyson and Jerico
. 

As for Rand, her whole
change of heart
wasn't all that believable to me. She was a completely different person in the first book, and since her feelings for
Tyger
felt nonsensical (as we do not see them developing), it was hard to believe that she'd change because of what she did to him.

But overall a good read and I'm glad I decided to pick up the series.
