Review: Amazing follow up

I have been waiting for The Fall for sooooo long, having fallen completely in love with Ivy and Ryder after reading The Rush. I totally love Rachel's writing and read everything she does but this series is far and away my absolute favourite. The storyline is a bit darker than most of the YA books out there so there is some real substance and some compelling character development in this book that takes it even further than The Rush and completely pulls you in.Having read TR again just before I got this, I was expecting big things and it didn't disappoint. I read it cover to cover, into the night, not wanting to put it down or wait any longer to see where it was going. Rachel had warned fans in advance that they may need a support group after reading and she was right ! As with her other books she has not been shy with the heart-wrenching twists and turns and tragic endings although there is a lot (seriously....a lot) that had me grinning form ear to ear for Ivy and Ryder. Their "friendship" develops in exactly the way I wanted it to in this book, and there are some very hot scenes - although still completely YA appropriate - and you can't help but feel yourself rooting for their happy ending.But this is Rachel Higginson, right ? Queen of suspense. So this book scratches the itch oh so brilliantly but leaves you wanting much much more. Roll on Book 3, I will be one-clicking the minute it's released and in the meantime I will daydream about Ivy and Ryder and stalk her personal blog in hope for some more of those yummy Ryder POVs she teases us so mercilessly with *sigh..................
