I was so shocked to see this at a bookstore and found out it was the LAST stock. I bought it on a whim, no regrets!

This is better than the first book in terms of the characters. I like that Lara is still important to the story and we get to see more of Jacob. 

The pacing is great. Things start happening pretty much right away, and there’s this perfect balance between action and eerie atmosphere. I also love how the author weaves in bits of real history, giving the story more depth without feeling like a history lesson.

Now I really need to get my hands on the third book. It’s probably going to be just as hard to find, but something tells me it’s going to be so worth the hunt.
