Make Me Stay (Panic, #2)

by Sidney Halston

[Eve1972]

I LOVE the covers for the books in this series. Great use of graphis. Fabtastic representation of the story. Great composition and interesting typography.

When I read Pull Me Close last year it ended up being one of my favorite reads. So I was super excited to get my hands on book two and Matt's story. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the greatness that was book one. I am not a fan of books that go back in time, and part one does just that. I found myself bored and skimming to get through it so I could get to part two and the present-day part of the story.



Part two was certainly the better part of the book. We get a good amount of angst and drama. But I just never warmed up to Matt. He was nowhere close to being as amazing as Nick was. In fact, I found him whiny and childish in his behavior for a 33-year-old man (snorting cocaine in front of the heroine because he was angry) and his anger lasted way too long (basically right until the end of the book).

So ya, wasn't a fan of this one. That said I am still onboard to see what the author throws at us for book three.
