From Goodreads: Gemma thought her mind was gone, but she was wrong. And now she is left trying to figure out the truth to what Stephan is planning to do with her and the star, before it’s too late.

But finding out the truth is hard, especially since Gemma doesn’t know who she can trust. There may be only one person who Gemma can turn to for answers, but that means having to go to the one place no one wants to go—The Underworld.

Well, of course, this novel leaves us with another huge cliffhanger… Sorensen is killing me here… I need the next book, The Vision, like, yesterday! But, that aside, I am happy to say that Sorensen’s prose and story line has improved in this sequel, and I found myself enamored by the novel, in love with most of the characters, and highly interested in everything that was happening to Gemma and her companions.   

The story picks up right where Fallen Star left off, giving the reader the much needed answers to the predicament Gemma faced at the close of Fallen Star.  I was extremely happy with the way Sorensen chose to resolve the cliffhanger from the first novel, and from there Sorensen continues to write a solid piece with much suspense and intrigue.  I feel like there was never any downtime in this novel and, while Gemma was, on occasion, a tab bit annoying, she grows a lot in this novel, standing up for herself more readily, though she’s still a bit weak, literally speaking. 

Her companions, Alex and Laylen also grow in this novel and, though I didn’t note this in the first book, a sort of love triangle seems to have developed.  So, whose side am I on?  I’m honestly not so sure, but I’m thinking Laylen… he’s a pretty hot vampire, to say the least.  Alex, though, is good looking in his own right, yet he’s the quiet brooding type, and while I’m usually a fan of those kinds of guys, he did place Gemma in some serious danger in the previous novel, so… Laylen currently has the upper hand.

What I truly loved about this novel, love triangle aside, is how villainous Sorensen has made the bad guys.  They are truly repulsive, and though I can’t name names, or it’d give away some things from the novel, I will say that Sorensen has mastered the evil character, to a tee.  I recommend this series to anyone looking for a great paranormal read, especially as it gets better with time.  Four stars!
