I enjoyed Amethyst but found 'Linked' even more spell-binding and couldn't put it down.  The story wove together elements of love, friendship, self-sacrifice and violence in a world where feelings between Guardians and Amethysts are forbidden, the linking to a Dentelle could mean death, and a war with the Ray-pacs constantly looms. The rivalry between the Ray-pac leader and his evil brother Adrian to get Lexi's Essence lent a  chilling sense of uncertainty to the story especially when Lexi underestimates her enemy in order to protect her friends and Jason. The infusion of Ash's new powers, his link to the Ray-pacs and his attachment to Lexi added a wider dimension to the story and enhanced the forbidden love story between Lexi and her Guardian. Even the ending held more questions than answers and offered the beginnings of another intriguing entanglement which I hope will be resolved in a 3rd book. I recommend this novel to everyone.
