I was pleasantly surprised how much I like book one, so I dove right into this installment. I still enjoyed this one, but I felt is was a bit weaker than the previous book. I like the murderous vigilante operating outside the law angle but got a bit tired of the whole ‘psychopaths can’t fall in love’ premise, when it was clear he were doing exactly that. We are told that August is a psychopath, doesn’t have feelings, blah blah blah, but he just seems like a regular guy with a crush. I also wasn’t a big fan of the addition of the psychic element in an otherwise mundane world. I felt a bit out of place and haphazard. This series started off so strong that it would be a shame for it to fall flat now. I will give the remaining psychos the benefit of the doubt and try to see of the next book pulls things back on track.
