Although Faren despises her new job choice she still maintains her innocence and virtue.  As a reader it was impossible not to sympathize with her and hope all would work out in the end.  After The Token 1's hell of a cliffhanger, The Token 2 starts out fast and doesn't slow down!  I enjoyed the pick up in the pace of this serial and a lot changes and happens in this installment.  Faren is losing the reigns on her virtuous existence and is being thrust farther and farther into danger and darkness.  Mick starts to reveal more of his character, caring, protective, and- a billionaire owner which includes the establishment Faren is working at."My moral compass no longer points true north.  It's guided by circumstance and fate, neither conferring with the other."Faren fights to keep more than one secret from Mick which is proving harder than she thought.  I became a little bit annoyed with Faren during this novella since she seemed kind of "whiny."  I would have enjoyed if she embraced her "dark side" a little more. Despite everything else going on she also wonders about Mick's business dealings and feels many doubts about how he claims he made all of his money.Also, we learn more about Faren's life prior to The Token. She has a heart-breaking past which strengthens the admiration I have for her character.  I read this one eagerly and quickly to find out what would happen next. I have definitely been hooked by the author's eloquent and flawless writing style.  The Token serial is definitely turning out to be a new favorite of mine!
