Short Synopsis: Though Kate has fallen in love with Vincent, but now everyone is on the lookout for the numa, since their leader was taken down. 

My Thoughts: I was excited to get this book, but found it really difficult to complete.

After the downfall of the numa leader, Kate and Vincent finally have some time to themselves. But after the New Year's celebration, Vincent feels that Kate must have extra attention as she travels to and from their house, as they fear that the numa might attack at any moment.
The house also gains two revenants. Violette and Arthur. And though both seem to want to help the cause, they are very reluctant to have anything to do with humans. It takes Violette awhile to warm up to Kate, but they soon form a friendship, as they find a common love of movies. But Kate is reluctant to form a friendship with Arthur as Arthur is quick to exclude Kate from a revenant meeting.
Aside from the two newcomers, Vincent is trying something new to help their relationship and is reluctant to tell Kate the specifics. Kate goes off on her own, as she searches for a cure for Vincent as she wants him to become human again.
And if things weren't stressful enough, the group finds out that there may be a leak in the revenant group, and all signs point to Arthur. Can Kate find a cure for Vincent, and can Kate prove that Arthur is the one to not be trusted, before the numa gains even more advantage?

I was so excited when I got this book, because I loved the first one, and I couldn't wait to read more. Unfortunately, I couldn't stand the writing style. There were many times when I wanted to give up on the novel, as it felt extremely boring, even though there was a lot of history behind the story.

I wasn't able to get into the rhythm of the novel, until the second half. I loved reading about the relationship between Kate and Vincent, and there were still hints that Jules wanted something more with Kate, besides friendship.

I wasn't too fond of the new addition, Violette and Arthur. And though Violette seemed to form a friendship with Kate, I still wasn't sold. There's a bit more history about the revenants. I didn't like the fact that everyone was keeping secrets.

To be honest, I also was a bit confused between what had happened with Violette and Vincent and the numa. Overall, it was an okay read, I wasn't completely thrilled with some of the situations involved, but it still makes me want to read the next one in the series.

Would I recommend this book: Maybe

Rating: I give this book a 3.5/5.
