I didn't enjoy Half Black Soul as much as Blood Warrior. The plot twists and surprises in the second book in The Alexa Montgomery Saga were anti-climatic.Half Black Soul is told through Alexa and Nelly's point of view...why? In Nelly's chapters we learn new things, but only after reading about her discovering what Alexa's already uncovered, about Two Rivers, in book 1.Another problem I had with reading this book is the appearance of Alexa's 'monster'. Alexa had a problem with controlling herself in book 1, she referred to it as a 'hunger'. Now it's become and 'monster' inside of her, a separate being in which Alexa has conversations with on several occasions throughout book 2. I don't understand how that came about and Alexa's talking to herself became really annoying after I realized what was going on.Sadly, this isn't a series I can keep reading.*An e-book copy of Half Black Soul was provided by the author through Shut Up and Read's Read It & Reap review program on GoodReads.com
