I liked the first book a lot more than this one, though that is not to say I didn't like this one - I DID. But it didn't have as much romance in it as the first, and maybe that's why, since I tend to like books with more romance in it. I gotta say though, I LOVED THE riddles before each chapter, and then at the end it would give the riddle again and its answer. It made me think and I even got several answers correct! I wasn't quite satisfied with the end though because it seemed like even though there IS a happy ending, there was little time spent developing the relationship between Leonie and Douglas/Gideon. And I had a hunch he was the one she'd rescued all those years back; plus also finding out whom the kidnapper was - I'd guessed it correctly. It had good twists to the story, but I would have liked to see Leonie's and Gideon's relationship develops more. I cringed at the part where Leonie had to `hurt' one of her hands in order to escape; it reminded me a tiny bit of the movie Saw, though it's nowhere near as gruesome as that movie was, don't get me wrong. I've enjoyed reading the Moon Trilogy series by Bevill as well, and look forward to reading the others too.
