** spoiler alert ** Not bad for a sequel. I liked it better than the first, "Minion". I agree with some of the other reviews I've read - the cadence of her writing is sometimes difficult to follow, and LA Banks spends a little bit too much time describing and explaining things. In addition, she gave virtually no information or flashbacks from the first book - this would be difficult for any reader who didn't read "Minion" before this one or if there was a great deal of time between reading the first and second books. However, I really like the story line and Banks' message is good. [spoiler alert:] In addition, I was pleased that the main character managed to remain a virgin at the end of this book as well.
