2.0

If you enjoyed the first one, I would pick this one up but maybe don't expect much from it.

Two of the characters I fell in love with in book one Rose and Kara where both changed significantly in this book. I felt like I was starting with a whole new cast in this book. I lost the joy of reuniting with the dream team from Sleeping Giants.

The story was enjoyable, but when I finished I felt like I was left with so many plot holes.

Overall, I'd have preferred the series if I had stopped at the first. If you liked the first one and you're feeling adventurous give this one a try, but I suspect you may regret it.
