4/5 Stars
Buckle down for a novel almost identical to its predecessor, Paranormalcy, apart from the fact that it is a bit more serious than the first one, something that I like. What I mean when I say that it's a parallel to the first one is that the same plot arc occurs. What I mean by this is that the book starts out with some sort of event spotlighting Evie, the protagonist, and then we are introduced to another 'cute' boy. In the case of this book, it's Jack. We later learn that *spoiler* Jack isn't as good as he seems to be, something that is parallel to Reth in the first book. There is a climactic, creepy final scene that leads to a sappy falling action and resolution.
The book was a tremendously quick read; I read it in two days, averaging about 160 pages a day. The book isn't a book you really need to pay attention to, mainly because it is so fast-paced and that Evie mentions earlier events that happened within the novel.
Overall, the book was a fast-paced, intriguing, engrossing tale that I definitely recommend for those who finished Paranormalcy. The series is not one to miss; a film adaptation of Paranormalcy is in development!
The third and final novel in the series, Endlessly, is expected to be released next year!
