Review: This second installment didn't live up to the first book for me.
Rating: 3 out of 5

I wanted to be entertained like I was in the first (which I rated 4 Stars).  The first one was more lighthearted and I loved the focus on the magical creatures and  WereBear aspects.  This book  was darker and the plot was both rushed and a little choppy; but until I got to the ending, I still enjoyed it.  (Parents of younger children note: The stronger violence and bloodier aspects in this one makes it a more adult read than the first book was.)I personally think that both books were too short.  But at least if they're going to be short,  please don't give me major unanswered questions that leave me hanging at the end.  Whereas the first book made me crave the second book, this second one makes me wonder if I want to bother with a third.  I find that although I care about all the characters and enjoy the twists and turns of Goldie's life-- I don't enjoy getting slapped in the face at the end.It just tends to raise my bloodpressure, sorry.
