A great sequel, enjoyed it very much. Fast paced, containing all the best stuff - emotion, action and spice. I warmed up to all the characters, even Willy!
As for the writing style, I like the multiple povs which allowed us to get to know the boys better, however I do wish the characters had more distinct voices; at times I had to go back to remind myself who was narrating. Overall a good read, looking forward to number 3!
As for the negatives,

if we're being picky. First, The boys freaking out about Everley dying when she said she can't die that was a little anticlimactic and lessened the intended emotional aspect, especially with the quick recovery.
Second, not exploring further the effects and longitividity of Everlys blood, not even questioning it. Considering the guys could literary die if its no longer in their system and it's unclear of the amount needed to protect them, I'd expect it to at least be brought up.
And lastly linking in, the one which bothered me most but it actually kept me reading - I was hoping it was a plot point and not an oversight on the authors part. Unfortunately, unless it comes up in the next book, it was in fact a pretty big miss. The fact that the boys need to have ingested Everlys blood to not go *splat* when she teleports them, but Torin never got any! They just slept together, unless ingesting any bodily fluid is enough, but can't imagine he had gone down on her on enough to consume a significant amount. I feel that's a huge thing to overlook both for the characters and the writer, and find it disappointing.
