Review: A great 2nd book to the series!

I'm hoping there will be a third because although things can be considered more or less resolved at this point in the story, there is so much more to continue on with.I really enjoyed this book as much as the first. Again, it's a light YA story and very light on mystery. The characters are compelling, well drawn and the story is well written and keeps moving forward without a lot of doodling around. It seemed to be shorter than the first book but I didn't do a page or word count. Maybe it was just a faster read as I was more familiar with the "universe" and characters.The only thing I keep thinking is that Bay is not a spring chicken and does not really seem affected by all the running around, long days and travelling. I know I would be exhausted and I'm not a grandmother of adult grandchildren.In any case, it's a great story. There's nothing creepy about Kip's love interest, Alex. He's not controlling, he's not abusive (although somewhat cranky), and to me, he seems more realistic than the boys in other YA books. Their relationship is more based in the real world than in Twilight/Hunger Games/flavor of the month YA books.I highly recommend the series.
