I must admit I was a little disappointed by this book - the first in the series was so good that this felt like a bit of a let down. It felt somehow rushed, and the new characters didn't seem as well developed as in the first installment which was one of the things I liked so much about it. There was also a slightly icky sex angle. It was still a good read but I'd probably have given it a better rating if the first one hadn't been so brilliant that it felt rather disappointing in comparison.
