Not as good as the first book in the series, but still enjoyable. The bad guy(s) were pretty obvious from fairly early on though. Both Jess and Sebastian were frustratingly obtuse at times, and Sebastian’s constant sexualization of Jess got old fast. But Jess was a great character, very complex and interesting, and the plot was intriguing.
