It's by no means as good or adventurous as the first one. However, it was and okay read, if you have nothing better to read.

It's a hit or miss depending on the reader's taste. I personally loved it.

First person narrative. I usually hate it, because I hate the narrator, but not in this case. Her writing style is also easy to read and follow.

Bella is just another awkward teenager with a love for classic literature and desire to stay away from teenage drama except if we're talking about Edward Cullen. Some may say that it's exaggerating emotions and situations, but do keep in mind that it's about a teenage girl's first (and last) love and that some people live emotions more intensely than others. I don't, but maybe that's why I liked it so much.

It was the first three-way romance I've read and set the standardsway too high. I haven't found another three-way romance so loving and wholesome as this. The way the relationship and their feelings are described is so natural and warm. Not a masterpiece, but it's easy to read and easier to re-read.

I read it in one sitting! It flowed easily and kept interest even if in some points it could be a little confusing.

It was certainly interesting following Dr Viktor Larenz in his invastigation of his daughter's disappearance, but you have to pay attention.

Roughly, the book is divided in three parts. The part where Joelle arrives at Lovell and meets Luke, the part where the two are looking for her parents and the last one has to do with everything that happens between them.

It wasn't the kind of spicy romance book that I expected, but it certainly didn't disappoint. It was more plot-based than I expected, darker and slower, but not unpleasant. There's a constant struggle for dominance between Joelle and Luke and in that struggle they both make mistakes that have to confront and solve in order to be together.
