I absolutely adored the first novel in this series, Dark Seeker, and was extremely excited to note that I was just as enamored by this second novel as well.  Sequels can be really tricky, and though I may love an author, sometimes their middle novel falls a bit flat, but that was not the case with Dark Return!  This is a kick-butt sequel that carries just as much action, angst, and terror as the first.  I loved it!Kai and Janie are back, and Janie's family is trying ever so hard to be nice to Kai, especially since Janie's so adamant about it, but... he's not exactly the boy-next-door.  I really like this angle of the story because it puts Janie and Kai between a rock and a hard place, but they're fighting to overcome their differences and remain together.  Kai, too, is fighting to maintain his humanity, which adds a whole other aspect to their dating game as, should Kai change back, he'll be at the top of Janie's most wanted `kill' list.  With a plotline like that, what's not to love?This is a fast-paced novel full of mystery and intrigue as we begin to delve deep into Kai's past, learning about who he used to be, and how he became who he is today.  I loved the background knowledge and was on pins and needles throughout the novel as his ex shows up on the scene intent on ripping away his humanity and reclaiming his for herself.  There were so many ups and downs as I read, and I was thrown for a loop on many an occasion.  Overall, this was another great read and I cannot wait for more!
