The second book, The Forsaken,  takes off around six months after the first one ends, with Rayna returning back to school after her recovering from her terrifying attack by followers of ‘The Shadow’. Rayna discovers that her powers are growing incredibly strong and this makes it even harder to return to her old life. When a new guy starts to hang around Rayna and her friends, Leslie and Sarah, but she cannot get a read on him, Rayna starts to become suspicious and enrolls the help of her other friends to help her look into him.We also get to read the story from the viewpoint of Liam and Jayce and one of them is also getting powers.Rayna once again has to overcome her own fears in order to save her friends from ‘The Shadow’ who comes too close for comfort in this book.  The shadow tries all ways in this book to alienate Rayna from her friends and family in the hopes that she will turn to him and join his ranks. He very nearly succeeds and Rayna once again finds herself in a terrible accident where she could have lost her life.I found book number two to be much darker than the first and much more scary as Rayna comes face to face with ‘The Shadow’. This time though she is not alone and draws strength from the friends she is trying so hard to protect. If you have read book one and are not sure whether to read book two, please buy it – you will not be disappointed. I was very much engrossed in The Forsaken by A. G. Porter and finished it in a matter of days. For young adults and adults who like the paranormal/romance with nightmarish twists.
