QUICK OVERVIEW: 
Rachel Caine has given us the perfect sequel to an amazing book. Violent threats are being made by me personally to those who haven't checked these books out yet.

REVIEW: 
Thank God this book was a bind-up, because I had no intention of stopping after the ending of the first book Glass Houses.

It picks up right where book one ends, and the drama is still just as intense. The plot runs just as smoothly through this book, and if it is possible, it made me even more nervous than Glass Houses. I found myself gripping the edges of the book thinking, how in the hezzle are they getting out of it this time? We get to see a lot more of the inner-workings of Morganville in this book and I really enjoyed what I finally got to see.

The characters are still just as amazing as in the first book too. Claire, along with being a perfect female protagonist grew a pair in the last book, so she is even better in this book. Character development at its finest. And you get to see a lot more into the other characters as well.

There isn't much I can say about this book. It was amazing, probably one of my favorite series so far. It was the perfect sequel to another amazing book. It had everything the first book had, and then added a little more.

The way Cain ends her books makes you want to tear your hair out and yet you still feel satisfied. I cannot wait to pick up the next book, and I'm so sorry that I haven't bought all of them before because I would be devouring them book after book until there was nothing left.

You must check out this series, or I will find you and virtually give you a wake up smack to the forehead.

FIRST LINE: 
"It didn't happen, Claire told herself. It's just a bad dream, just another bad dream. You'll wake up and it'll be gone like fog..."
