For a sequel, this book was pretty darned good! Most YA series have a super awesome start, but then kind of die off after that, but this book has kept me interested in this series enough to want to finish it to the end!Not too much happened plot-wise in this book, which might be part of the reason why it wasn't as good as the first one. However, the events that DID happen were riveting and kept me glued to my Kindle screen in excitement! So many plot twists and unexpected events take place in this one that I didn't see coming, and I can't wait to see how the characters deal with all of this in the next book.Jade's character development is coming along nicely, too. She's learning to take responsibility and to worry about others instead of only herself. Her relationship with Aiden has strengthened even more, and those two are so freaking adorable that it makes me jealous :P Aiden's so hot, dreamy, kind, and understanding...Heck...if I found a guy like that, I'd marry him like that *snaps fingers in a sassy manner* :)The one thing I think that the author needs to work on is her characters' reactions to some of the things that happen. When Jade found herself covered in the blood of her friends, she acted like nothing was wrong. And I know that Aiden uses the so-called "feel-good endorphins" to make her panic go away, but this seems like a cheap, quick way out of dealing with the emotions of her characters. I feel like this raw fear and emotion would make things more realistic and gripping. But that's just me.And the one character that fascinated me to no end was this mysterious DD that we hear about through texts, videos, and written notes. Even though we never hear his voice or see him in person, he still manages to intrigue me. His convoluted mind is fascinating in a creepy kind of way, and when I finally found out his true identity...Ahhhhhh!! OMG...I will definitely be coming back when book 3 comes out! Carrero has me hooked! :)
