★★★★★ «All the action that I really enjoyed in the first one and hoped would continue… the sequel blew that out of the ballpark. Amazing book, even better than the first, if that's possible! Love all the characters.”

★★★★★ “Be warned! This series is totally addictive. Don’t start this unless you’re ready for a wild action-packed ride.»
