Media Reviews

Spooner's follow up is even stronger and more gripping than the debut and is sure to ensnare further loyal readers. * Booklist *
Fans of the first novel will be delighted; those new to the trilogy will be as well, assisted by enough backstory to follow the action, and both groups will eagerly await the concluding volume. -- Bonnie Kunzel * Kirkus *
