I loved book 2 even more than book 1! It was somewhat better written, I could follow along better, whereas before I had to go back and establish who was really speaking. So where it put in the chapter who was speaking that really helped. I enjoy when books do that, so it's not so abrupt.In book 2 we find that Rose and Caleb are not back from their honeymoon yet, and no one knows why. We find out later that it is because Rose is coming into a ton of new powers, almost daily, and learning to control them. Some of these powers are not from her being a vampire, but a sun witch. This is something I've never read about before, and would have loved to learn more about it.We pick up from book 1 in trying to find out who is after Rose and Caleb, who is jealous of what they have and want to take over the Glasson Family Line. The person behind it all is not who you expect at first and was a nice twist. What I also enjoyed, is there were other supernaturals besides just the vampires in this book. I thought it was very cool that not only was Rose a "hybrid" of sorts, but now her best friend was also a "hybrid" supe. Magura foretold of this, and stated that these two besties would be a force to be reckoned with. I can't wait to see what havoc these two lovely ladies wreak.Everyone from friends to family are very accepting of what Rose is which is surprising. Most books don't portray that side and it was kind of nice. But, that being said, based off the titles of these books, it doesn't seem as though the secret is her being a vampire, since she's going around telling everyone.There's a twist including Rose's son, Josh, which you don't see coming, but after finding out what else Rose is, I get it. That kind of thing can be passed down. It seems as though all the "new" supernatural beings come into their powers and shifting ability rather fast. That being said, I love a pretty fast paced book, and that's what I got. I finished both of these books in about a day or 2, they were that good, despite the errors found in both books. I am aware that both books are going to be re-edited soon and I believe once that happens, these books will be phenomenal!I am a grammar Nazi, and at points I had to go back to re-read parts to understand, and I won't lie, I had to stop a few times. But overall, that didn't me stop from finishing either book, as I just HAD to know what happened next. I even already told the author I would love to read book 3 of this trilogy. I must know what happens next!
