This was an excellent follow-up to the first book. I think that despite it covering less ground and having a bit less adventure, I actually liked this one more. I loved seeing the bond between Veronica and Stoker. Despite their bickering and sexual tension, they make a great investigative team and have a lot of deep trust and respect for each other, which is lovely to see.

It's been some time since I finished this (I've been procrastinating on reviews...) so I can't say much about the plot. I'm guilty of not paying enough attention to the details, even though this is more of a proper mystery than the first book, which is a good thing. I've been considering switching to the ebook so I can retain the details better, but I love the audiobook narration too much.

The development in Stoker and Veronica's relationship, though. Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! They are what I'm really here for, I'm not ashamed to admit it! We finally get Stoker flirting back, and then some acknowledgement of what they have, and then some angst....ooooh, that was delicious. I need more! This would make a great TV series.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series. However, in this one, the characters seem to change drastically. Stoker becomes a prude, with more of a sidekick role. Veronica mentions experiences that she has had (including shipwrecks, cannibalism, and even killing someone) that seem much more intense than alluded to in the first book. She becomes an unlikable know-it-all who has apparently experienced everything there is to experience and is perfect at it all.
