Mike Wells hits the ground running as Lilith takes the baton as book two in the Wild Child series a she picks up the tale of two teens who have gotten caught up in something darker and more devious than they could have imagined. Has Kyle really abandoned Bri in the depths of the underwater cave? Will the glowing green water prove too dangerous to handle or will it, once again, save a life? The Feds have gone in under a simple disguise in an effort to ferret out these two teens, who were presume dead, but is there an even more deadly foe hiding in plain sight? Will Brianna’s strong willed refusal to respect the cautious warnings from Kyle only put both kids in the crosshairs, once again? There is something going on, something dark, secret and it smells of conspiracy. Who can be trusted?

With the ability to think outside of the box, Kyle has slipped the clutches of the Feds, but Bri is in trouble and Kyle has nowhere left to turn.

Lilith is a dark journey run on fast forward as Mike Wells fuels the flames of interest with each passing page. Is the end coming for both Bri and Kyle? Mike Wells knows how to create an atmosphere of danger, fear and intrigue as he weaves a tale of survival, discovery and fear, all because one girl is a wild child who can’t say no to an adventure, or was she chosen by some twist of fate? Who is Lilith, a Federal agent or is she something else? Mr. Wells writes with a strong hand, filled with the magic of youth, mystery and imagination and a gift for endings with new questions that have readers craving more!

Mike Wells did it again! After recently reading Wild Child book 1 I really wasn't sure what to expect - but the sequel dubbed 'Lilith' I found, was even better; Despite delays caused by a bout of poor health, I managed to read this book very quickly - on and off within a few hours - it was that engaging!

Again, this story is fast paced and riddled with plenty of action scenes. There are more fantasy/sci-fi elements that elaborate on key scenes in book 1.

We also see a very nasty, uncompromising side to 'Brains and Brawn' and soon see the true unsettling power of the almost symbolic 'green water'. In addition, readers will soon learn why in this novel the phrase 'extended family' takes on a new meaning!

I really enjoyed the writing style and at times was vaguely reminded of sci-fi/thriller 'The Tommyknockers' by Stephen King (maybe due to the 'green light') and for reasons that later become apparant, Gregory Widen's fantasy classic 'Highlander' - but this was far more succinct and dare I say, 'unputdownable'.

Can't wait to read the final installment which I understand is due out soon!

Bravo Mr Wells on another fine story!

I received a free ecopy of this book for an honest review.

I started this book as soon as I was finished with Wild Child Book 1. These books are a quick read and are difficult to put down once you start them. As soon as I’m done writing this review, I have to start the third book.

As far as the main character, Kyle, is concerned, this book started out as I expected. I knew he’d have to take responsibility for his actions at the end of the first book and would try to make amends to Brianna. Other than that, there were many surprises, even a couple jaw dropping moments (I hate it when I’m reading at work and realize my mouth is hanging open). I don’t like spoilers so that’s all I’m going to say.

I liked Wild Child but Lilith is even better. I definitely recommend Lilith but I also recommend reading Wild Child first.

This was just as fabulous as the first book in this series that I have read! The story follows on from the first, Kyle is riddled with guilt about blocking Briana into the under water cave, so he goes back to rescue her, only to find she discovered another route out of the cave, and was very well, they realised the govenment are still after them, time is running out, they need to act fast! Not wanting to give to much of the story away, this is unputdownable, a must read, an originally refreshing and unique story that will have you on the edge of your seats right to the end. Mike wells the author has a style of writing that flows like water, his story never becomes complacent. I have read three of this authors books now and each time have been blown away.

Having read Mike's Wild Child one, I was anticipating the second book in the series, and it didn't disappoint. Like a good movie series, the first book did a good job setting up the story, and the second proceeded to unfold more information and twists, as well as having a bump in action.

The biggest thrill for me in the the 2nd book was the mystery behind Lilith. You spend the book wondering, who is she? That kind of mystery tugs at me, and the ending is a perfect cliff hanger to a third book, much like a good season finale.

I have mixed feelings. I reread book 1 and then read book 2 both this afternoon. I guess that means I liked it, which is true. The thing I hate is waiting for a conclusion and not knowing if i will have to live another 50 years to see it. Obviously I will likely continue with the series because it is so engrossing and surprise follows surprise. On the other hand I am not sure his many more series that seem never ending i will read. This applies not only to this author.
Please get book 3 out soon and I hope all finishes in less than 2 years.

What can I say? Another wonderful read from Mike Wells. This is the second book from the Wild Child series... I'm always amazed that Wells manages to draw me completely into his stories and keeps me transfixed until the end. With too many books, I pick them up and within a page or even a paragraph, I know what's going to happen and where it's going. Not with Wild Child. Wells' writing is unexpected and fresh. His protagonist is thoughtful and caring when most would walk away. I cannot wait to read book 3 - although I will as I bask in the world I've been in a while before moving to the next.

I got Wild Child 2 very recently and loved it. Mike Wells is well-known for his unputdownable books, but I'll also add that he's great for the cliffhangers too! I cannot wait for Wild Child 3 to come out, Wild Child 2's ending was unbelievably great and so unexpected! I'll need some of that green water to heal my fingers once I'm down biting my nails after all this waiting... Argl!

This is the second book to the Wild Child series. The first one (same title) was free from the author. My curiosity got the better of me and I bought this one. I enjoyed more than the first one. The government are after Briana and Kyle. They found deep in a lake some type of miracle water. To find out read the book. It's a good read. Now I have to wait for the 3rd one.

[Adam · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great continuation of this story. I really love all the characters and how the twists and turns keep coming. Hopefully they'll start bottling the green stuff so I can buy some :^D. Next please...

[BridgetT · Rating 5 out of 5]

really, really good. follows straight on from 'wild child'. can't wait to get my hands on 'wild child 3'. (seems a long time coming)

[Bailey Crawly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. This book was absolutely fantastic, an amazing way to follow up the first one, I can't wait to read Wild Child 3!

[Patricia Trapani · Rating 5 out of 5]

The second book in the series continued to captivate me. Didn't want yo put the book down and found myself glued to the book until I finished. Can't wait to begin book 3.

[Kriss · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was as lovely as the first!Excited to read the third!

[Lynn Hallbrooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is funny where life takes you.

To me, this is a mixture of New Adult, Supernatural Fiction, and Conspiracy genres.

Kyle regretted his actions toward Briana and set about to make things better. Ever being the Wild Child and stubborn, she didn't make things easy for him. Meanwhile, "Brains" and "Brawn" are investigating information about the teenagers before their boss decides to get involved.

I really enjoyed this book and I think it has, even more, intrigue than the previous one.

Warning: There is Violence as well as Adult language and Situations.
