I bought OF BLOOD AND PULSE PART II just as soon as I finished writing the review for part I because I was so involved in the lives of Elliot, Michelle, and all their friends that I simply HAD to. The imagery for this story was incredibly good and while I was reading, I felt like I was completely immersed in the story. I got to see a lot of personality development for all the characters, as well. I felt like I really knew them and liked them. Ms. Sweeny called her books YA literature but I disagree because her books contain too much graphic reality to be suitable for them even though Michelle is a teenager; all the gory descriptions and detailed sexual scenes are a big part of what makes her imagery so outstanding. There was the same problem with editing that there was in the other books; it was annoying but it still didn't hinder my enjoyment of the story. I just think that I would have enjoyed iteven more if I didn't have to mentally edit it. I just wish that I didn't have to wait for the third book in the series to come out; it is really difficult to leave that world and its characters behind. I'm sure that if you've read the previous books you will want to read this one ASAP and you certainly will not be disappointed. Happy reading!
