It took me a little while to get into the book.  I must have been preoccupied because once I was into it, I could NOT put the book down.  And, as a matter of fact, because I was not into the beginning, I immediately started the book over from the beginning once it was over.  I had to re-read the first 10 to 20 percent.  Highly recommend! I wish there was a continuation though..... I was not ready for the book to be over.

I love this book. I am a binge reader and now that I read this book, I feel like I should give it one star because the sequels have not yet been released.

The story is great and very hard to put down. I also love the glossary in the back and the map in the front. These tools make it easier to follow along (sometimes I forget a character).

Im really looking forward to the rest of this series. I know this one was just released, but I need the rest of the story now!

After reading the first book and following our heroine through the many paranormal sticks she gets herself into, I had great expectations for the sequel.  It definitely does not disappoint!  First (an older) Ana is figuring out her new power of hearing or understanding people's intentions, with a much stronger personality, more self-confidence, and as a much more developed character.  I definitely sense that she is more complete, settled down in herself almost.  As with the first book, I cannot exaggerate how creative the author is in weaving the real world and real problems or situations with the fantasy world that she has created here.  It's absolutely amazing the way that she can make such unrealistic situations feel so real!  I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more by Lyneal Jenkins!

The reason it is four stars instead of five is because there were a few mistakes in grammar and spelling.  They weren't many, but they were noticeable.  However this definitely doesn't affect the story, and I still highly recommend it.

And then I was sad it was over! An amazing journey and a fantastic read. Looking for the sequel as soon as possible

I sincerely hope there's another installment to what I wish will be a series. What a fantastic read. Beautifully whimsical, dark and grim in all the right ways. The author has a penchant for world-building and for a style reminiscent of literary fiction for the young adult reader. Highly recommended!

Fantastic sequel, my only gripe is it was a bit of a short novel. I wish the ending had a bit more to go on with, just makes me want to read the next one all the more. Can't wait for Book three!!

Couldnt wait to get my hands on this one!

I was completely hooked by part 1 and was extremely happy to see part 2 finally coming out.

The story running through the books is very unique - I couldn't even imagine some of things I read about in the book. Its a great alternative to the youtube videos that never really show the behind the scenes, what REALLY happens in the seduction world.

The style of writing remained direct and honest in part two, but the characters changed. More doubts, more depression, more burnout. Kinda scary actually.

Theres a cool chapter about Bostjans dilemma about becoming an RSD instructor as well - I never thought about some of the sides of the story, it really is not black & white.

Theres also bits and pieces about Max falling in love I don't want to spoil too much, but its cool :)

All in all, very happy with the read, glad to read about the behind the scenes, and actually a little bit inspired to go on an adventure of my own.

I really want this to be a series!  As with her other books, under either pen name, this does not disappoint.  I admit I was a little uncomfortable with all the involuntary nudity (not a big fan of humiliation, even if it is just vicarious!), but the world-building is inventive, the characters are compelling and endearing, the ending is satisfying while leaving room for more, and I was ultimately left with a desire to spend a lot more time in this new universe.  Would highly recommend and will definitely buy the next book!

Can't wait for the next sequel! I am a faithful follower of this author!

This is such an awesome short story that I absolutely didn't want to end.  I love a good happily ever after, but I really wish this one wasn't so quickly reached.  Here's to hoping a series comes out of this!

Left me wanting to read more! This is a very entertaining, fun read! The intro seems a bit drawn out, but is necessary for build up to the real story (just like any good series). From the moment Bridjett is introduced, I was HOOKED! The pace and personality of the book will keep you interested and entertained! Definitely worth reading!

This is some exceptional writing. I couldn't put the book down! The characters and ambiance were seductive and complex. Once I reached the end of the book, I was eager for more story. The ending is somewhat unsettled with loose ends, but that is the only dissatisfaction I have with Stygian. Also, considering the current climate of series writing, my complaint feels a bit petty, but I want MORE dammit. Also, I don't think the book would have worked with some condensed form of the story crammed in to provide the perfect resolution that readers often want. Stygian was paced well & the perfect length to stay true to its purpose. Just hopeful there will be more volumes to continue the saga.

I could not put this down once I started reading, yet did not want the book to end!  I think if another author had switched the narrator from chapter to chapter I would have been irked.  If my reading was interrupted I would have to double-check, but I really enjoyed getting into the different characters point of view.  I am halfway through Daughter of Time,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Daughter-of-Time-A-Time-Travel-Romance-The-After-Cilmeri-Series/dp/B004SQSMV6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Daughter of Time: A Time Travel Romance (The After Cilmeri Series)</a>&nbsp;the other book in this series and I would recommend reading that one first, then these two. I plan on reading everything Sarah Woodbury puts out, and I would most like to revisit her series if and when they come out on audiobook.
