Half Black Soul by H.D. Gordon is the second book in The Alexa Montgomery Saga.Short Synopsis:Alexa and Nelly are back in this latest installment of their journey. Alexa, along with the help of Kayden is on a mission to find and save her mother, who she believes is still alive after finding out she might be being held in Dangeon, a prison for "their" kind. Alexa leaves Nelly at Two Rivers while she's searching for their mother, believing that Nelly is safe and tucked away from the dangers that are sure to arise on her mission. Nelly, not knowing why Alexa left, tries to piece things together, all the while leaving herself open to dangers, possibly from people she thought she could trust.Review:This book was terrific! I adore these characters and have since the start of book one, Blood Warrior. The story really progressed in this book as did the characters themselves. I felt the author really found herself and the voice of her characters and the focus of this story was brought out more clearly. We are treated with POV's from both Alexa and Nelly this time as well as a couple of chapters from Kayden's POV. It picks up where it left off from book one and just throws you right into the story, leaving you gritting your teeth until the very end. Questions and secrets developed in book one were revealed and new questions have been prompted. I loved the relationship developments between Alexa and Kayden and I loved that Nelly is really discovering herself. I completed this book in one setting because I just couldn't put it down. The author really has created a fantastic world where you can literally lose yourself for hours!Negatives:There's not much I can say on the negative side about this book. I really did enjoy every aspect of it! If I were to complain about anything it would be the typo's I found. There were a handful and sometimes, when you're in the mist of a great scene, a typo can really distract from it. And I'm not sure I really liked how it ended but I'm going to reserve myself on this until I see it played out in the next book. At this point I have complete faith in the author's creative ability to give us another fantastic read in book three!Conclusion:I can't wait until the next book! I'm excited to see where the author takes these awesome characters and how this saga will play out. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a GREAT story full of wonderful visuals, action scenes with a unique story line!
