Review: Just as thrilling as the first in the series

Creche, the follow-up to Cruxim, picks up right where the first book left off. Amedeo meets another Cruxim named Skylar. The end of book one was riveting and left many questions unanswered. Mainly, who is the new Cruxim, what will happen to Sabine, Amedeo’s sphinx lover, who is trapped, and how will Amedeo deal with all the loss inflicted by the evil vampire Beltran. I don’t want to reveal too much for those who haven’t read the first book.Skylar is an intriguing character who introduces Amedeo to other Cruxim and after being alone for hundreds of years Amedeo isn’t very trusting of other Cruxim and they don’t trust him all that much either.I loved the first book in the series, Cruxim, and couldn’t wait for the sequel. When I opened the book to the first page I hoped I wouldn’t be disappointed. Sometimes the sequel in a series can be a letdown and I wasn’t sure how the author would top herself. I wasn’t disappointed at all. Creche is just as good and might be slightly better since Cox is revealing more about the characters.Not only do the readers learn more about Amedeo, he learns more about his past. I don’t want to spoil things for those who haven’t read the book yet, so I won’t go into details, but I will say that I was shocked. There are still unanswered questions and I’m very intrigued to see what happens next. Hopefully that wait won’t be too long.I highly recommend both Cruxim and Creche.
