My Review: 4/5 Stars
Book two of this sequel series and I have to admit it was pretty good! I was a little nervous about reading this one especially how the previous book ended, but it turned out to be super interesting and it had some pretty neat twists. I had started this series in high school and with my obsession with vampires (and okay, that it something that is probably still going on a bit), the series was a great one to turn to. Now reading them and I'm older, though I still like the series, the only challenge for me is getting past some of the language. Some of it is a bit over the top and makes me wonder if it was always like this or am I just noticing it more. Most likely, it is just sticking out to me more. If you relate, then know that if you get past that then the storyline is still interesting as it always has been!
This book explores the Other World, where Other Kevin was sent back home to stop the Neferet of his world. What was pretty sweet about this book was we got a good look at the Other World and the Other characters, as well as their point of views. This book had several different narrators and it made it that much more compelling. Also, even though they had figured out that Kevin needed to fill the role that Zoey had filled when she defeated Neferet, there were several differences that made it his journey and his fight.
If you enjoy the series, then I can honestly say this one doesn't disappoint! Turns out people can learn their lessons and gain wisdom and not make the same mistakes. Zoey certainly has and it was definitely a good thing to see. Though no word on the date of the next book, it was confirmed that the Casts do have two more books planned, but it will depend on the fans. My vote is for more! I hope you agree!
