Review: The Plot Thickens

For some reason, I really got into this one more than the first of the series. Maybe because I knew the characters already and was ready to go on an adventure with them. Maybe because I'm a little dreamy-eyed over Arizona. Still. Lol.The plot thickens and poor Mia is just trying to keep up. She is so strong and loyal. I love her best friend, Em. And I feel for both Austin and Em in feeling a bit abandoned for Mia's new relationship with Regulus. I've so been that friend who gets ditched. And because of that, I probably wanted to shake Mia once and awhile due to her extreme enthrallment (is that a word?) with Regulus. There is a moment where she breaks her father's rules (which is inevitable, but not super like her) to see Regulus. She 'needs' to see him. This is personal annoyance of mine. Needing to see a guy. It just...bleh, bugs me. But then again, I've not been in as deep as Mia is.Also, I'm a fan of Tiny.The twists and turns of this one were great. I was unsure of where things would go and I like not knowing. Finally got to meet a few characters we've been hearing about (not spoiling anything). Especially visual in the fact that the entire climax occurs with Mia still in her Winter Formal dress. I am so ready to read the third book (which is not out yet).
