Much like the first book in the series, I'll give this one 3 stars. Some parts were much better than others. All in all, even with the "negatives" listed below, I do think this book is stronger than the first book.
Quick aside. Some people think that 3 stars is bad. And for a lot, maybe it is. I rate a little differently. I see star ratings more as a bell curve:
1 star = bottom 10%
2 stars = between 10% and 30%
3 stars = between 30% and 70%

To start off. I do not understand the logic in leaving to save people. Has no one but myself heard of strength in numbers? I understand that this is fiction but what does it really say about how we as humans think strategically. I mean what good can one possibly do by leaving? You end up worrying the people you left and they end up being so distracted that they end up captured or worse DEAD. If ever I were in a situation where every supernatural being out there either wanted me as their "pe

I love this series, and I absolutely adore the characters in this book.
Reed, Evie, Russell, Zephyr... Even the strangely named Buns an George... They are all like family to me now. I love them all. Strangely, I am also pulling for some of the new villains in this most amazing sequel--everyone loves a bad boy with a soft spot, you know?
I have one MAJOR critique, however: Russell's "southern accent" ticks me off.

Alright so, like the last, this was a good read. Fewer dialogue issues this time around but the pacing still leaves something to be desired. I find myself skimming sometimes just to get forward in the story. It's good to see the author taking advantage of the different possibilities her plot and world create for the characters. It's getting a bit tiring however with practically every male of every species falling madly in love with the main character - I mean, really?! Ugh - use a different plot

Wow.. I think I need to get my breathing under control for a minute before I begin this review... *sigh*
Where do I begin? The book started off right where I wanted it to, with Reed and Evie and their intense and breathtaking romance. Then there is Evie gaining even more strength and kicking major ass. The practice fight scene with Reed was majorly hot. She is finally getting strong enough that she might be able to consummate her relationship with Reed and the intense agony of waiting More...

I can't help but absolutely love this series!!!! I am an avid Amy Bartol fan because she creates such a solid characterization that you can't help but grow to know the characters and find yourself being pulled into the storyline immediately!! Evie finds herself at the center of turmoil yet again but on this sequel in the Premonition series she feels that her presence in Reeds's life is more a danger than anything else so she convinces Russell, desperate to have Evie any way he can, to run away w

I am really enjoying this series. I was completely surprised when I read the first book of the series and the second did not disappoint.
The romance between Evie and Reed was just as wonderful and the author does a great job in making me emotionally attached to them. Although there were times where Evie was a bit frustrating as her thoughts would sometimes stray to Russell. I hope that in the third book, Evie is completely over the whole soul mate issue and Russell finds a new lo More...

I downloaded this sequel the moment I realized it was available - as in five minutes after finishing the first. As sophomore novels go, I always hesitate to have any expectations. In many popular novel series, the sequel always seems to be slightly lackluster. That is certainly not a problem that Ms. Bartol has with this novel. For the second day in a row, I was absolutely enthralled with the story, the characters that seem to jump off the page with such life it's honestly hard to swallow at tim

God! Please! Enough with the pathetic attempt at slang and youth-speak. It's often incorrectly used, and just sounds like the author is tent way too hard. The worst was the snow-boarding description, where I couldn't understand ANY of it, not even one word. I don't know if they were actual snowboarding terms or just made up, but it really took away from the story.
There are quite a few grammatical and editing errors, but not so bad that it ruins anything.

What can I say! This series really caught me by surprise! I can't put it down. Right from the start I can't wait what will happen next. While reading it, overwhelming feelings started to build up on me.
1.) Excitement, as Evie started to evolve and kick ass.
2.) Pissed, for Evie with her stubborness.
3.) Pity and Intrigued, for Russel well I just think soul mates won't end up with soul mates. It's intriguing what will happen to him on the next series.
4.) Scared, well you More...

I tried to wait for the highly anticipated second installment of this wonderful series as an ebook and just couldn't! Having just finished the novel, I have to tell you the cliffhanger is pure torture, in a really good way! I had pretty high expectations for this book considering how I absolutely fell in love with "Inescapable", and boy did this book exceed them! Ok, enough exclamations. There was not a single moment I felt bored with these two novels. Not one. I loved the clever cast

I loved this book and couldn't put it down, just like the first in the series. I love the chemistry between Evie and Reed and I am so glad that the author doesn't really play the whole love triangle. Evie knows Russell is her soul mate, but she knows that she cannot live without Reed. It is nice to have a story for once, that doesn't have the main character trying to figure out which man she will choose. Thanks Amy Bartol for letting Evie know who she wants.

Amy Bartol has a way of writing that leaves you breathless, Intuition is a captivating second book that I was anxious to get my hands on the second I finished Inescapable! I snatched it up the second that I saw that it was out and was not disappointed in the least! There is more drama, new characters and more depth added to the old characters. Bartol adds a third of the story that is in Russell's perspective, adding more insight into the characters that we already know from Evie's perspective. I

Gaaaaaah I'm insanely in love with this trilogy. Amy A. Bartol is one heck of a smart person. Every page has a lot of surprises/twists on it that make you crave for more. I see the story on different angles, reason, logic, strategies .. uhh heck this book is a smart ass. :D I love every character. They fit very well in the story. Evie is probably the less annoying female protagonist that I ever encounter. Maybe because I am just like her. Her determination to keep her loved ones safe. Her attitu

Parts of this book i was thoroughly frustrated with. This book envoked so many emotions, happiness, sadness, tears, laughter, frustration... It was a great read and a great love story. You just keep rooting for Evie and Reep no matter how many obsticals they have to overcome. Some parts of the book felt to fleshed out, to involved, to "done". I think i skipped some pages because it just kept on going.
However, great book two to the series. Cant wait for book 3!!

This series has taken me by surprise. I can't believe how much I love it. I really enjoyed it. The only thing I did not enjoy was the amount of time Evie and Reed spent apart. Something I really love about Bartol's writing is that you can really feel the emotions behind the characters. For example, you can't help but to laugh at Russell, and during the scene when Evie was checking her voicemail, not only can you hear Reed's voice, but you can hear the emotion in it. I can't wait to see what the

Fantastic book - taking your breath away with the intensity of the plot! There are many new terrific characters in this installment, there are many adventures, bad and great decisions, surprises, beautiful and sad moments, humour, sorrow, love and revenge. Amazing book! A must-read!

I really enjoyed this one, dare I say even more than the first one. By switching narration between characters, relationships with them deepened. Evie at times still seems very "Bella-ish" with her constant guilt and tears; however, she redeems herself well by shaking herself out of depression and kicking some serious butt. She shows she is a survivor and strong despite of herself. I was sad when it ended and can't wait for the next one!

Umumnya, orang udah pesimis duluan kalau soal sequel tapi buku kedua dari seri ini justru lebih keren dari prequel-nya.Saya benar-benar menikmati membacanya, kisahnya lebih kompleks dengan alur yang cepat.
Saya kasih 4* buat buku kedua ini.

This book, in my opinion, was so much better than the first. Just when I thought I'd read it all I'm introduced to a new breed of villain, the Gancanagh, who like Evie I love to hate. It was a great read and I'm very excited for the next book to come out.

Exceeds the first book with flying colors. So happy I picked up this book - serious potential, considering how much I instantly fell in love with the characters. Completely modern. Love it.

I'm seriously addicted to this series! Thank you, Amy, for creating this wonderful world to get lost in. Now, while I love love love Reed in all his badass awesomeness, I adore Russell! I want him for myself, so send him my way k? The thrills and action in the book were fabulous. Both Reed and Russell fighting to protect Evie? HOT HOT HOT! I love all of these quirky, charming characters. I can't wait for Indebted!
Jan 12, 2012
WOW..... I gotta say this book was every bit as good as the 1st and maybe a little bit better. I gotta say I love that Evie & Reed (yummy) got to be together again. They are a match made in Heaven! I can't wait for book 3.

Good follow-up to the first book. interested to see what happens next. I did feel like the second book in similar series but, I still liked it.

Just read your blog.....You are a fantastic writer! I can't believe these were your first two books! Looking forward to the next two in the series!

I love it! I want myself a Virtue Angel. Or maybe I just want to talk to Phaedrus, he's so precious! Love them all in this book.

Honestly one of the best YA series I've read to date. Lots of action, doesn't hold back on battling or gore, really amazing characters and complex problems. Love, Love, Love.
Feb 11, 2012
Absolutely one of the best series I've read in recent memory. Looking forward to book three.

I liked it.... sort of. Skipped a majority of the pages about 4/5 from the end.
