Here me out...
I loved the first book in this series! It was totally unique, interesting, with good character development, and a good pace keeping me on my toes and hooked till the end. The first book had twists, turns, surprises and just when you started to get comfortable, it would swoop you back up and take you in a whole new direction...This book however, dragged on in places for so long in many spots, that it took a great deal of effort to keep myself reading till the end. There were areas that would start to pick up and get interesting, but then it would just flatten out again leaving it feeling more like work than a pleasurable fast paced ride. The characters were interesting, but I found myself not getting enough development of some characters and then too much time spent with others, that you didn't really want to be with all that much. The main draw of the first book was the dynamic between Hannah and Asher, but unfortunately, that is severely lacking in this book. The ending wrapped up interestingly enough to make me want to read book three. So I'm truly hoping the third one is MUCH more like book one than the exhausting bore that this one was.
