I am so loving this series.  I was beyond happy when book two came out so close to the release of book one.  Now if only book three could come out tomorrow ;).  This YA series is sort of both paranormal and science fiction and it simply had me at the edge of my seat.Here are some of the things I liked about this book (this may be spoilerish if you have not read book one):*I love how Jessica reveals the mystery through snippets of Kayla's memory as she gets it back.  I feel like I am discovering things right along with her.*There is a definite darkness to this world and Jessica does not shy away from it just because she has a YA audience.  As in her Fallen Star series, she explores the idea that some consider emotions as a detriment and how that impacts all involved.*I still do not know who is going to ultimately be "the bad guy" and who are their pawns.  There are so many ideas about this floating in my head.  I love it when a novel can make me think about it even after I have already started another book.*The dynamics between Aiden, Sylas, and Kayla are very fascinating to watch, especially as memories unfold.*I love how this book did not begin by rehashing everything that happened in book one.  The author gives the reader credit for remembering the main ideas and I was able to jump right into the story.*Very rarely do I even think about books becoming movies.  I tend to think I imagine it better than any producer.  This series, however, I think would be amazing on the big screen.  I think the feel of the world mixed with the action and the flashbacks could be magnificent on screen.I was very sad when I got to the end of this book because when I went to see when the next one would be available, it said Fall 2012 and I do not want to wait that long.  I would not recommend this book if you have not read Darkness Falls.  While you could probably fill in the gaps and make it to the end of the book with some understanding, I think you would miss too much to really get the full enjoyment out of it.I was given an Arc of this book.
