The thing with sequels is that, it usually gets difficult for the author to live up to the expectations set by the first book. Ms.Schulte has definitely delivered a sequel that’s as good as the first one – if not better.
I am finding it really difficult to review this second book in the trilogy without giving out much spoilers. So, I will keep it really short. The first thing about ‘Choices’ is that you need to read ‘Secrets’ first. Otherwise you may find yourself doing a lot of wondering and asking a lot of questions. The characterization remains to be one of the strengths of the plot. The dialogue delivery was better in this book. And yes, there are a hell lot of twists to keep you turning the pages.

I enjoyed the second installment. We get a new perspective in this book, that of Quintus, and I loved it. I was never once confused by reading three point of views. It enhanced the book in my opinion. I always find myself rooting for the underdog, in this case Quintus, but I have a feeling he will not be so lucky in the end. We see Olivia in training as a guardian, and she has skills which surpass the other guardians. The elders also have an interest in her, making you wonder what is in store for Olivia. I am looking forward to reading the final installment, and to seeing who gets their HEA in the end.

I thought this was just as slow as the first book though it was more interesting now that we know what's going on. As with the first the end is the best part since that's when stuff actually happens. I'm not sure I'll read the third one, though, unless I can find it for free at my library.

This trilogy was awesome! The whole read was a roller coaster of emotions! I no point did I want to stop reading this trilogy! I was sucked into this amazing world from the first few pages. A wonderfully laid out story that kept me wanting more. The supporting characters truly made this story. One of my favorite stories involving the underworld. I read this as my "trilogy" for the 2015 Reading Challenge! :)

Another page-turner, mostly because it's such an easy read.
A few things are really starting to bug me.
1. If your life is THAT horrible, why choose to come back?
2. Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Gah!
3. What happened to the time difference between Rome and the US? How is it the same time in both places? Please, find a globe.
4. Girl, get over him! Yes, I know the magical mind-link is still there, but seriously! Actually, I should probably say "Boy, get over her!", as he is the one who has actually been alive the three years she was gone, and didn't feel the link during that time.
And some other stuff, but I will stop listing them, as I will only focus on them, and I want to read the last book without being too frustrated.
Lastly, something which does not have to do with the book, but may explain why it is written in a way I don't really like: Why the frack does the author, in her profile picture on Goodreads, pose with a duck face?! Seriously! You write books as a living! Stop making yourself look incredibly stupid! (OK, that was my little rant. It needed to be said.)
