Review: Better than the first

This is the second book in the Eve series, and I enjoyed this one much more. Generally, I don't like books of the Fantasy genre or those that deal with the supernatural. Consequently, when I started the first book, it took me some time before I felt engaged in the plot. I realised afterwards, that this was partly due to the fact that this was the first in a series, and therefore character, theme and setting needed to be established.This is not a profound book, but it is an enjoyable read for this genre. I liked its quirky humour, its feisty heroine and the sense of danger that hovers in the background the whole time. There are lots of unexpected twists and turns. One of the things I really enjoyed is that except for the heroine, it is often hard to work out who are the villains. So many of the characters are not what they seem. It is refreshing to read a book in this genre that doesn't have such stereotyped characters and themes.
