I really like this book, more so than the first. While the first was about setting the characters and relationships, this one was about getting the story into motion. And I love Sydney. I already liked her a lot before, but with this book my liking of her grew into a full admiration and love. Her relationship with Adrian never ceases to amaze me, to be well developed and a slow burn that makes you want to die with every little thing. And better yet, is seeing how Adrian grew as a character since everything he went through. It warms my heart how great he is, how much potential he has and seeing him achieve that with Sydney is incredibly worth it.
