The stakes become higher in this second installment as Zoe and Noah are chased by her grandfather's henchmen.  The action intensifies, and Noah worries that he may have been wrong, after all, to rescue Zoe.  Zoe is different; she does not remember loving Noah.  Noah is committed to protecting the woman he loves even though her personality is considerably less vibrant - muted, altered.  There is hope, however, as some of Zoe's memories slowly return.In this installment Senator Vanderveen takes off the kid gloves.  Incensed with his granddaughter's rabble-rousing, and contending with significant worries of political fall-out, his ruthlessness escalates.  A huge bounty is offered. Disguised and on the run, Zoe and Noah are temporarily sheltered by a couple of fringe groups - but trust is a commodity in short supply.I enjoyed this second installment but was disappointed by the huge cliff-hanger ending.  The dystopic world is expanding, and the creep element has intensified.  With dwindling resources, Zoe and Noah are engaged in a dangerous effort to out-fox a master manipulator blessed with unlimited funds, powerful connections, and an unimpeachable reputation.  This exciting continuation of their adventures and achievements is a worthy successor to Perception and an intriguing precursor to the next installment in this well-written, action-packed series.This book was given to me in exchange for my honest review.Reviewed by Laurie-J
