Review: WTH with this 2nd book?!!!
Rating: 2 out of 5

I enjoyed the first one in this series and anxiously looked forward to this 2nd one, only to be very disappointed.  The Phillip character whom I understand the author plans to write a book on, is a pedophile.  This is not kinky, adventuresome, alpha behavior but sick and disgusting.  The teenager Ella, does not behave as one would expect - she's from an upper middle class home where you learn she is happy yet at no time while she is kidnapped does she ask for her parents and by the way why is she this skilled kleptomaniac?And what was with this "tie up all the loose ends" ending?  It was such a soap opera ending the way everyone was able to find everyone else and have all the questions answered.  Questions that weren't answered and should have been -why there was a betrayal at the final showdown with Henri and why should the father suddenly give up his empire in such a suicidal manner?I hope this 2nd book was just an aberration for the author and her next book is more plausible.
