Review: Sweet but not sizzling...
Rating: 4 out of 5

Compared to the first book, Night is Darkest, this one is pretty mainstream. There is one brief scene that is unconventional, but SPOILER ALERT the heroine remains a vigin throughout the first two thirds of the book. Her status is important to the plot, so it works for the story. When the big moment arrives it's tame to the point of being almost sickly sweet. I don't have an issue with these types of books, but they're a dime a dozen and not what I expected after reading the first book in the series. I gave this one 4 stars (actually 3.5 but I rounded up) because it is a decent story. Hopefully the heat-o-meter will be turned back up for the next book.
