Review: It was decent, but in places it really upset me...

This is the continuation of the first book, which I just reviewed.  This book I thought was good in spots, and pissed me off in others.  Let's start with the bad.  Sadey is very distraught because Hem "died" at the end of the first book, at the hands of his stepfather.  She is raising their infant son and trying to move forward.  The reason this part irritates me is because she is grieving and yet everyone, INCLUDING Mace, is telling her to essentially buck it up and move on.  It's like these people have no feelings or something.The end of the last book, the epilogue, broke my heart. I actually thought it was the perfect ending.  But low and behold, things are not as they appear.  Turns out, everyone but Mace and Sadey knew that Hem didn't actually die.  And although I felt a little joy about him being alive still, I was upset at how everyone knew, including the man Sadey was starting to have feelings for, and no one told her jack.  He was supposed to have sacrificed himself and yet it was all just a game.The positives in this book, Sadey is stronger than we give her credit for.  In the first book, I kinda pegged her as this whiny little sister type who just wore Hem down.  But it turns out, she actually has a backbone.  I could appreciate that.  Other than that, not much that I loved.I give this book 3 lipsticks.~B~
