I absolutely loved this story. Sequel yes, but still as good as the first, if not better. I loved the characters ever more this time. Maura has turned into an evil cow. It's like she is such a spoiled brat, then her sisters are the complete opposite of her. I di like to see Rory in this one a bit more and Cate make more friends and peace with Elena. I can't actually believe I've finished it and don't have the third book yet. I need to see what happens next. Very good series, something a little different I think than what's already out there.
