Wow! This conclusion to Lucy's story had me on the edge. It was full of pulse stopping scenes that I was both scared and excited about how it will all end for Lucy. At every turn of the page, the tension grew more and more that I didn't even notice I was holding my breath. I immensely enjoyed the book from start to finish.I must say though that there was something I was looking for when it ended or during that part when Lucy and Tenner met again. During book one, I never really questioned why Tenner was on the hunt for Lucy. I just thought that she's just a loose end to the whole thing that's why he wanted her dead. Melissa was smooth that way. But then in this second book as the characters raised that question, I was like, 'yes why indeed. Maybe there's another reason for it'. Like Lucy was probably the key to something that will really end it for Tenner. But that confrontation didn't even came. The scene was fast that it was over before I could even react. I don't know if I'll be disappointed or be happy that it finally ended well for Lucy.Other than that, every bit of the book was spectacular. As this is a New Adult which is not usually my genre, I'd say I enjoyed it pretty well. I love that Melissa put that year apart with Zach and  Lucy letting them grow in their own feet. Plus that meant that they went a year older before the book concluded. As always, I find it awkward to read about teenagers or barely adult talking about love in that serious sense. I mean, it always make think 'if I were seventeen what will I do'. So the added year in the story was totally a plus for me. I also love that this didn't happen in a short span of time. The time from when Lucy met Zach till it end was long, enough to give me a sense that they really do know that what they feel for each other is real and permanent even if they're young.Two thumbs up to Melissa Pearl for this novel. She's now on my list of author to watch for from this day on.(vs. The Writer Book reviews)
