The first book earned a 5 star from me. This book had to go down to a 4 star. I did enjoy it but compared to the first book which seemed to be non-stop action, this one started out a little slow. Also, I didn't like the paragraphs from the first book being entered again on the 2nd. This only happens a few times but it was enough. I know this is a way for those who read the first book when it came out to help them remember by the time the 2nd book arrives but for me this usually irritates me. For one, I usually wait until the series comes out so I can read them back to back. Even when I don't do this, I usually remember enough that I don't need the flashbacks. If it wasn't the paragraphs then it was something else reminding me how "down below" worked or Deuce and Fade's relationship or how Stalker and Tegan used to be. I already knew this. No need to backtrack. Other than that, I really enjoyed the book. It picks up where the first one left off and shows the town of Salvation. It seems like everywhere Deuce goes, there's new sets of rules. Ones that mean to keep the community safe but not always right. She also learns to love and what it could mean to lose someone you love. This book also shows the group of four maturing more mentally than physically. We also see the Freaks changing and become more scarier than you thought possible. An enjoyable book. I really feel attached to most of the characters and that just totally immerses me into the story.
