This was a really great book. The twists were great--they were unexpected, but still believable. I love books where the twist ending is well supported by the rest of the book, and this one really was. This was just as good as the first book in the series. The new characters in this book were great and very likable.

Personally I didn't like this one as much as the first book until the very end because I just disliked all the characters so I just couldn't get into it. I think this author is just not for me and I should just stick the the tv adaption but i will be giving the next book a read.
