I was given this book free to read and review.My first comment is not to read this unless you have read the previous part. Unfortunately people often do not read books in the order the author intended and without an introduction setting out what is happened before it is difficult to pick up the threads and realise the importance of some of the characters that appear later in this book.If you have read the first part this one is slightly different in that it develops the role of the shepherds and there powers, it is also a slowly developing romance which does not draw to a conclusion as it ends fairly abruptly and you need to read the next one to find out what happens next. I must confess that I prefer a series rather than a serial but this one does grow on you. It gives time to develop the characters particularly the two shepherds Addy (Addison) and Tanner and show what powers they have both individually and combined. There are some action scenes where there are structured extremely violent games which although violent are not graphically described. I could also visualise all of the locations described and they just leapt off the page.It is a shame I have to give a star score as it is not really my type of book as it has become more of a romance than the first one. However it is well written and I am intrigued to know what happens next although I am not sure if I will read the next one. This is probably as I am well out of the young adult target range but still a good book.
