I think one of my favorite things about Nancy Straight is that her books are a good blend of predictable and WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED. There are parts of the book that I can totally see where it is going and it is a predictable part of the plot, but then she turns around and twist everything all up so that your back at square one again.This book was actually better (in my opinion) than the first book in this series. It had action, passion, drama, a driven plot, great side characters, and character development.You get the same characters as the first book, but this book didn't focus on the family/friends as much. It focused more on the paranormal groups within the book. The Cabinet, the Council and then some new characters. Seth still annoys the heck out of me, but that hasn't changed since the first book. I still love Max. He is probably one of my favorite book guys right now. He's just a normal guy with no bad boy type edge to him. You can totally relate to him and such a well written character. I feel the same way about Lauren. I can easily understand why she is doing what she does.I will say this book had me in one heck of a dispute with myself for awhile. I love when authors are able to pull off the whole bad is good, good is bad or even the whole "you have no idea who is bad because I'm going to keep changing the rules on you". Nancy Straight has this nailed. I am still not sure who the true villain of this book is. I guess I'll just hold out and read book 3 to figure it all out.
