Book 2 of the Ruby Red Trilogy
It's too early. Especially when you spend your sleep-time reading.
I finished the book in one day- well less than one day. It was pretty dang good, but I have a few qualms now that I've read every page.
The book keeps you going. There is so much mystery related to the secret behind the secret that you can't help be engrossed with the story. Gwen knows very little about the secret society she has just inherited, which means we as readers know very little as well. And I have no issue with that other than this is the second book and I would have liked a little more revealed than what was given.
I wanted something discovered, where I would be like holy crap. It really only happened once (I muttered a little holy crap that no one heard) and it was towards the beginning of the middle giving me false hope that more was going to be discovered by our extremely patient heroine.
I mean really, she has the patience of a seasoned mother. Don't get me wrong, she has her break downs and who can blame her. Everyone treats her like she's a stupid little girl, but she has her break downs in private or with her best friend.
Half the things this secret society is having her do, while having little regard for her or her feelings would have made me flip them the finger and say screw you. And anyone who knows me knows that I don't do those things even when provoked.
So there was that.
The author also introduced another villain, or possible villain, I am not sure because like I said above; little has been revealed.
So far, overall, I do like both books a lot. But I am telling you, this third book better blow my mind because the buildup for the secret behind the secret might very well be a stalagmite. (Which are very impressive, I might add.)
This was obviously an all night reader, no dog ears here.
I still think the series might end up on my shelf. We'll see how anti-climatic the third one is to be sure though,
