Half Wild
Half Wild, (Half Bad Trilogy, Book 2), by Sally Green 
Blurb: After finally meeting his elusive father, Marcus, and receiving the three gifts that confirm him as a full adult witch, Nathan is still on the run. He needs to find his friend Gabriel and rescue Annalise, now a prisoner of the powerful Black witch Mercury. Most of all he needs to learn how to control his Gift – a strange, wild new power that threatens to overwhelm him. Meanwhile, Soul O'Brien has seized control of the Council of White Witches and is expanding his war against Black witches into Europe. In response, an unprecedented alliance has formed between Black and White witches determined to resist him. Drawn into the rebellion by the enigmatic Black witch Van Dal, Nathan finds himself fighting alongside both old friends and old enemies. But can all the rebels be trusted, or is Nathan walking into a trap?I'm really getting into this series now! I liked the first book, but the writing style just rubbed me up the wrong way. Honestly, it still does, but there's so much more going on in this book that it was easy to overlook. I liked all the new characters that were brought in and I look forward to seeing more of them in the next book, though I'm unsure how Sally Green is going to conclude the story in only one more book, especially since it's the smallest of the trilogy... However, back to talking about Half Wild. Firstly, I just want to mention the formatting at the beginning... what was that about? I HATED it. I mean, this may be a YA book, but to me it felt childish and a little stupid and totally unnecessary. Anyway, gripe over, onto what I did like. Nathan was a big part of why I loved this story; I feel like we got to know him so much more in this book than in Half Bad and I maintain that Gabriel is so much better for him than Annalise and, after reading the end of the book, it may even happen in the third book! It was a little annoying that so much of this book focused on finding Annalise, since I've never liked her and she proved me right even before the 'incident' at the end. Getting to know Marcus was also quite interesting, though I would have liked to have known more...All in all, I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to finding out what happens next! 
My favourite quotes from 'Half Wild': " 'He doesn't know it but he's my friend already.' ""... I want ot scream at Nesbitt that it hurt, that every scar I have hurt, and my body is covered in scars that have healed quickly but they all hurt, and I can't say about any of them, 'No harm done.' "" 'Mercury. you were one in a million. The word is duller but a lot safer without you.' " "... winning the peace, as they say, will be much more problematic than winning the war."
