I am in love with this series. The writing is amazing and I am loving the characters. The first book started slow but now that it has picked up, I can't wait to read the third book.

Like the first book, I read this one as part of a bookring on Bookcrossing...

I liked this one better than the first, but still -- I think the story line is AMAZING, but I am just not hanging with the style of writing. And the action sequences? so not me. So, I tend to skip over them..

I am going to ask to be taken off the rings for the future books. Reading these is too much of a chore for me and I have way too many other books that need reading.

SO I gave the second book in the series a shot and it's still not really holding my attention. The gangsta talk seems so forced and fake. It's almost too painful to read at times.

The cliffhanger picked up in the middle of book 2, and it wasn’t even worth the wait.

I love the way this series is developing! I was so glad that Carlos was being good and that he was able to hide his master status from Fallon so that he could successfully fight him. And, I loved that he saved the kill for D. I really hope that as the series continues he continues to refuse to feed of innocents so that he can be saved by the light and be with D. They belong together! Really excited to read the rest of the series!

More like 2.5 stars but it was better than the first. Seemed like it could have been shorter. The plot was very convuluted and difficult to follow with too many details. At least the slang is being cut back (if only by miniscule amounts).

Book #48 of 2021.

It’s is the follow-up to Minion. 

Damali has come to understand who she is and what she is meant to do.  What will she do with this knowledge and her powers?  Will she do what she’s been trained for?  How will she decide?  And who should she trust?  Damali’s heart is split and she has to decide who she really is. 

This too was a great read. I’m looking forward to seeing what else the author creates!

I just finished this book last night and I loved it. Excellent follow up for Minion. It kept my attention rapt until the very last page.

This story is definitely moving along and I'm moving on to book 3. Things blew the hell up at the end and I need to know what happens next.
