Reviews

[Nessa Luna]

Well, this was an unnecessary sequel. I really enjoyed the first book, though that might be a little bit because of nostalgia – this book fell completely flat for me. I didn’t like the characters (honestly why are they all written so CHILDISH?!) and I wasn’t a fan of the way the story went. I think if they hadn’t added the whole space part, this book would have been a bit better.
