Still Here
I REALLY hate cliffhangers but, I'm still here. Book 2 was great. I'm loving how things are shaping up but the evolution of Willow is taking too long. She needs to accelerate the process bc right now Willow is a liability to the Team. With all of the things that have happened. The betrayal, the losses, Willow needs to be moving at a faster pace. The drip, drip, drip process is not working. I'm so pissed at the covens and their small minds and upset about what happened to Eli that was awful. Needless to say, I am hooked and cannot wait for book 3. I hope the author begins to move things forward with Willow( Yeah, I'm repeating myself but her progression is moving slower than a slug). I hope the next book is longer. I hope things with Eli are corrected and more "loyal" people are added to the Team before I loose interest. I really dnt do cliffhangers and won't read them, regardless of how great the reviews are or how interesting they seem to be. This is a first for me and so far I haven't been disappointed. I hope it stays that way. Now on to book 3 when it is released.

Book 2
One should read book 1 first before reading this one to understand what is going on.
I love how Willow’s character is developing more and more. I also love how more mysterious have opened up for the group!

So incredibly good. Loved it even more than book one. It just keeps getting better and better. Love Willow and Eli. Love the locations and history about Greece and Greek mythology and how it intertwined with the story. I can’t wait to read book 3.

This review was originally published on Myth and Magic Book Club
Myth: 4/5
Enlightened takes us on a global search for an ancient book. It also pushes Willow and Eli’s new relationship in ways that they couldn’t imagine. We knew that Eli was forbidden to love Willow, but now they must confront the cost and decide if they’re willing to pay.
These are short installments, so things happen fast and characters don’t tend to agonize over their choices, they really just make the decision and move forward.
Magic: 3.5/5
Despite all the politics and desperate search for the ancient text, the vampire king is still the big bad. He haunts Willow’s dreams in new and terrible ways. Enlightened is definitely part of a slow build to that ultimate confrontation.
Overall: 4/5
Willow and Eli know that without this text or a way to stop the vampire king, they’ll always being looking over their shoulder. They have the desire and passion ;) to see their mission through, making this a quick and enjoyable read.

Reading book two in this amazing series felt like coming home to see my favorite family members. I cheer and cry for these guys. Watching the entire group grow is amazing. Willow and Eli are a couple I love to watch grow closer. The stakes for their love are really shown in what Eli is willing to sacrifice for them to be together.
Moni Boyce held onto the voice of her characters that made me adore the first book. I can't wait to see what comes next for the gang. The skill of storytelling is phenomenal, and if you're considering this series, I suggest just diving right in! You won't be disappointed!

The ending was sooo rushed. We went from 0 to 100 in about 4 paragraphs! I really liked having the foreign language translations at the back of the book. It was very helpful. I was so sad when Eli was stripped of his magic, but my heart was full to know why he did it...LOVE! I would have liked more info on Ulrik and his love for Annipe, but perhaps next book. This book did not grab me like #1 but I still look forward to the 3rd installment in this series.

It was great to return to this group of protectors and friends and see where they were on their journey. Willow & Eli are still turning on the heat in their relationship. I did think the writing in this sequel wasn't as solid as in the first. I would have liked it better if Willow had grown into her powers more. Here's hoping Book Three will deliver.
