Overall, I really enjoyed Fusion, the second and final installment in The Patrick Chronicles. Personally, I liked the first novel in this two-book series slightly more, but I still really enjoyed this story. The main reason I enjoyed Fissure slightly more than Fusion was because Patrick and Emma spent a lot more time together in Fissure than Fusion. Because of the way that Fissure ended, Patrick and Emma were separated for the majority of the first half of Fusion. Another thing I noticed while reading this novel was that their relationship matured a lot. The fun and flirty relationship that we all fell in love with in Fissure becomes a lot more serious in Fusion. I really enjoyed watching them become a "serious" couple. It was the necessary step for them to take, but at the same time, I missed the fun, flirty banter that I fell for in Fusion.Like I said in my review of Fissure, I love Patrick Hawyard. He's a fabulous character! He's charming and sexy and he doesn't alway think before he speaks! His mouth sometimes gets him into trouble, but I really like that about him! I loved watching him mature in this novel. For the first time in his life, he really learns what it's like to put someone else before himself. In the end, I really respected him for the choices he made.I'm very surprised with the direction the author took with this book. I don't mean that in a negative way at all. I'm just shocked with the way things turned out. I guess I had predicted for things to turn out a certain way and they didn't turn out that way at all! It's a really good ending. It just wasn't the ending I was expecting. I definitely give Ms. Williams lots of points for being able to shock me! It's not the easiest thing to do, but she was able to do just that!I gave Fusion (The Patrick Chronicles #2) by Nicole Williams 5 STARS. My advice: read the Eden trilogy and then The Patrick Chronicles. You can't go wrong with either series!-XOXOREADING, EATING AND DREAMING
