You may know, that I love young adult dystopian fiction, so this book is right up my alley! I am always a little leery of sequels (especially the second of a trilogy), but this was an excellent read! It may even have been better than the first.
Mr. Cramer starts the story where Night of the Purple Moon (Book 1 in the trilogy) leaves off, there is no gap, which is refreshing and brings you right back into the story. The story is very easy to read, it's definitely a page turner. Unlike some dystopian novels I have read, I really connect with the main character - he does a great job of bringing character depth and connection, even in a world we cannot truly know.
I love the relationships in the story, the way the characters deal with each other, their situation and the strange world they find themselves in. I really think you will enjoy this book. I can only imagine the third will be even better. As with book one, the ending was a cliff-hanger, which is to be expected in a trilogy. I would say though, that the end does leave you hope - my favorite type of cliff hanger :)

I agree, the cliffhangers that leave you with hope are the best kind! Thanks so much for hosting a tour stop for this one!
