It takes a lot to give up what you've been taught to believe. I enjoyed how Selene attempted to learn more and allow her self to feel emotions despite the discomfort it may bring

I really enjoyed the 2nd book. The romance was sweet and slow. There were some unexpecting parts and some sad parts, but I am intrigued about how it will all wrap up.

This wrung a grin and "dawww" out of me several times. The prose style of these books isn't my favorite — it might just be my own tendencies/preferences towards minimalist writing — but overall, I enjoyed. Like the first book, the climax was actually the best, most immersive part and really drew me in emotionally. Selene and Damien are cuties and I ship. <3 Need the third book now.
This story continues to follow Selene Ravenwood who is part of an ancient great family who have the ability to dreamwalk. This means she is able to go into other people's dreams and explore their secret fears and desires. In the first book 'Mark of the Raven' we saw her come into her gift and undergo training in how to use it.
In this book we get to experience more of the world and the different kingdoms. We also see how some of the other gifts work.
As the story progresses, Selene learns more about her gift and the spiritual forces at work in the world and we get to see how the different relationships grow and change.
The Christian symbolism is fantastic but totally embedded in the story. At no point did I feel like I was being preached at.
The book builds to a crescendo and now I really want to read the next book!
