Where do I start? I OMG'd and maybe even screamed like a girl when I saw that Book 2 had been released. I greedily consumed the words on the pages. All was good until I got to the chapter where Red believes Malcolm is plotting to kill her and that crazy ass dream. I was all like WTH? In my mind, I was penning Ms. Dianne a hate letter for ruining one of the best stories I've read in a long time. Being that I average 2 books a day, that says a lot. But anyways... Ms. Dianne was gonna hear from me in a scathing email. So I continued reading - eyebrows raised and what-not - skeptical as to where the story was going. Well, let me tell you. Brilliantly done.Now, I was all set to give this story 4 stars. Taking a star away for the author's digression into the effects of contact smoke. I was set to revoked her creative license. Oh, but she more than redeemed herself. And the ending was spectacular, although deep down, I wanted Jasmine and Jacob to have a story. I can live with the ending. I would give this book 10 stars if I could.So in my review of the first book, I compared Malcolm to a young Fitz from Scandal ( yes, dam it! I said Scandal). I was so wrong. He's more of a hybrid of Cyrus and Olivia Pope. I LOVE him sighing. But in truth, every single one of the characters in the book (and there are a lot) were seriously flawed as hell. Character development was outstanding.If you ask me, I will tell you to get the book. Get the book. Get. The. Book.
