Nah. Just, Nah. I was no more impressed with this ridiculous excuse for a book as I was with the first one; even more so actually. Far too many of the scenes were way too forced and unnecessary.
I especially detested the "surprise plot twists." They were pathetic and not in the least bit surprising: the evil douch-bags were evil (WOW!), the crazy ex-boyfriend was crazy AND evil (shocker!!), and best of all, the love couple truly were meant to be, for absolutely NO REASON AT ALL (SAY WHAT NOW?!?! Gasp!!). Didn't see THAT coming from a thousand miles away. *rolls eyes*
The good news is, there's only one more to go, and the books have been not at all time-consuming. If anything, it will kill another day.

I swear this series gets better and better. It's my fist time reading the series. Book one did not disappoint, and neither does this one.
Amazing!!
Amazing!!

Allie's freshman year at Tulane is off to an interesting start. Since Levi tricked her into becoming the future princess of the Pterons, she's majorly pissed at him, and doing her best not to fall prey to his charms again. The problem is, his parents and the rest of the supernatural world doesn't know they're apart, so Allie has so pretend everything's OK in the public eye.
In addition, Levi's making sure Allie's got a Pteron guard everywhere she goes. There is the threat of the royal throne being usurped, and the enemy is not above targeting Allie to get to Levi. Allie's not one to shy away though, so whatever danger is ahead, she wants to be prepared to face it as well.
Wow, wow, wow, was this book better than its' predecessor! There was so much heat between Levi and Allie, and I felt I learned more about the Pteron world, which I appreciated.
So, Allie's very mad that she became Levi's mate without her knowledge, and who can blame her? I'm just the reader, and I'm pretty mad myself at what he did to her. She's freezing him out, but she has no choice but to let him stay close to her. I liked Allie's character much more in this book. She stood up for herself, she was courageous in front of Levi's parents, and she didn't let anyone push her around. Just one thing though: I can't decide if Allie's decision that sleeping on the couch with Levi is OK while the bed is out of the question, is funny or annoying. Come on girl, you aren't fooling anyone, not even yourself.
Allie's roommate and sidekick is fellow Pteron, Hailey. I really loved that even though Levi has basically inserted himself into Allie's world, she doesn't cave to him and leave her friends behind. She still goes out with them, has girl time, and wants to make sure her girls are safe, always.
Now, let's talk about the chemistry between Allie and sexy shifter boy Levi. He's persistent and steadfast, put in no way pushes Allie to do things she doesn't want to do. He's willing to allow Allie to come around on her own time, and he loves her completely in the meantime. He also knows she wants him just as much as he wants her, and believe me, he uses it to his advantage. With a hot, powerful, passionate man like Levi after you, any girl is bound to give in after a while.
This book didn't have a ton of action, but it put shifter politics into play and let the reader more into the shifter world. We also learned a lot more about several characters. I believe it set everything up nicely for the next installment. Although I'm totally not in love with the major OMG moment and cliffhanger at the end! (OK...yes I am.)

Very minor spoilers ahead.
After reading the first book I just devoured this one.
The development between Levi and Allie was great (and torturous but great, I love it when the girl refuses to give in and I can understand why Allie didn't want to)
The growing frienship between Allie and Jared and Allie and Owen was aslo great and I enjoyed it heaps. As always, I adored Allie and Hailey and Anne and Tiffany. Those two were great additions I found.
Did not like Toby at all, he annoyed the hell out of me. Like, no menas no docuhe bag. Get over it (but by the end the beginning of the third one I got why - he's still stupid though!)
The cliff hanger at the end.... I'm glad Jess is kind of playing a role again in the story even if it is just a kidnapping victim. I'm glad her character didn't just fade away.

It had been a while since I read the first book in the series, so it took me a few chapters in to remember what was going on and why, but once my memory was refreshed the storyline reminded me about why I was so anxious to continue on.
At the end of FLIGHT, Allie discovers she's mated to the Levi, the prince of the Supernatural community. She feels used and lied to, since Levi wasn't quite so forthcoming about what it meant to accept his ring and then have sex with him. Giving up her dreams of going to college at Princeton, Allie finds herself enrolled at Tulane and accepting not only Levi being a fixture in her life but his best friends serving as her bodyguards as well. Allie has a lot she's trying to grapple with. Her place within the Supernatural community, how her new status effects her relationship with her parents and what her true feelings are for Levi, despite the lies and half-truths. There are moments when Allie's actions and responses remind me of how young she is, but then there are other times when you can see her growing up and understanding just what she needs to do.
Levi is a character I love. He has an agenda and it's to win Allie over. He knows he loves her and he's confident that she still loves him, despite how she's acting. He stops at nothing to protect his mate. Does he know it bothers Allie when he's overbearing, yes, but he's grown up in the Supernatural community and he knows what it means for him to have his mate. Even though he's willing to give Allie a little bit of space to come to grips with everything, he's not willing to let her out of his sight for fear something might happen to her. For Levi, everything he does is about Allie and his love for her.
This middle book is about Levi and Allie getting back on track. There is the running story about other supernaturals trying to take out Levi's family, which includes Allie, but that tends to take a bit of a back seat to Levi and Allie's relationship finding solid ground.
I enjoyed the story and remembered exactly why I loved FLIGHT so much....which is Levi. I devoured this book because I had to know what happened next. A series I highly recommend.
