I am definitely hooked on these stories. Book 2 is just as good as the first! The girls keep your attention and the non-stop action is fantastic!

This is book #2 of 3. I have finished it and I loved it more than book 1. I gave book 1 a 5 star also because I liked it that much. I'm now reading the third book and I hope it will not disappoint :).

I just finished reading an ARC copy of The Fall of Terradox and I am so excited to review this awesome book.

To all of the readers of the first book, Terradox, just a word of caution...you will recall that the action started really quickly in the first book. In this second book the author gives a bit of background to bring us up to date before launching into a new adventure. I urge you to read the early chapters with this in mind. Once the action starts in this book you will feel compelled to keep reading. At many points I actually wished for a break from the action so that I could eat or go to bed.  Im not exaggerating...this book is really that good!

At around halfway through the book it appeared that success had been achieved, and problems solved, and I could take a break from reading,  but I still had the second half of the book left! What now? As you read, you too will recognize this point. Take a deep breath, turn the page and keep reading because this story is about to become really intense!

I found myself totally immersed in the lives of the characters throughout the book. At many points my anxiety level was off the charts! The scenes and storyline were so well written that I often felt as though the events were factual reporting. I truly believed that these things could have happened, and that the evil-doers were being defeated by a team of really good people.

Ive read other books by this author, and they are all excellent, but this one is incredible! I  gave it 5 stars to encourage you to read it.

Excellent second book in the series.  I enjoyed how the characters were brought together from different subplots of the first book (and this book).  There was more character development of some of the people, some resolving of situations and, of course, the ending that left me hanging on hold until book 3 in the series comes out.  Come on Ms Freedman - get that third book done soon!

The Lost Mask: Book 2 of the Bone Mask Trilogy

Wow! Let me just preface this by saying that I was delightfully surprised by just how deep The Lost Mask took me.

Book 1 was amazing and I was curious to see if book 2 would fall into the trap that so many 2nd books tend to fall into. Thankfully, it lived up to all of my expectations.

Seto is now king, but has so many irons in the fire that it is inevitable that something will fail eventually. From the beginning, he seems even more political that in book 1, and there were many times that I began to question as to whether he was a good guy or bad guy. Seto plays his cards close to his sleeve, and when he finally does show his hand, you will be shocked beyond belief.

Flir is amazing as always, but even she has some skeletons in her closet. How they will affect the course of events remains to be seen.

Sophia and Notch are on a quest of their own. Sophia has escaped with not one, but two Greatmasks, and Notch has designated himself as her protector for the time being. Their adventures are many, and very difficult. Along the way, Sophia must learn to work with Argeon, amidst a growing addiction to the pull of the mask.

Ain plays a much smaller part in this story, and will have to decide if he can withstand the temptation that the Great Bird offers.

In the midst of all of the political machinations, there are invaders to deal with, and a mysterious illness that is sweeping the city, causing massive unrest. Of course, Vinezi is still there, and plays a larger role than we ever realized. And there are some secrets that only the Greatmasks can reveal, secrets that will change everything.

There are many of our old friends still here, and several new ones. Above all, this story answers a few questions, and asks many more. I was beyond tense at the end of this book and could not believe that there was not another chapter. Talk about a major cliffhanger! I can't wait to find out what happens in book 3. I immediately looked on Amazon to see if it has come out yet, but alas, it appears I have to wait.
Kudos to the author! Great job, Ashley Capes!

Great follow up to Book 2.  I'm making my way through the entire series and loving every minute of it.  If you like action with detailed descriptions that let you visualize the words in your head like watching a movie, these books are for you.  Highly recommend starting and Book 1 and don't surface until you're done...immerse yourself!

This had better be Book 1 (or I'm going to change this to negative stars). Can I go fan-girl? OMG! Excellent! Realistic (mostly) story of invention and survival. Book 2 better be on the way. Normal people in extraordinary circumstances and very well done. Loved it. Brilliantly done - even the slow parts are interesting; providing depth and character development.

I thought Book 1 of the series was very good.  Book 2 is exceptional!

Bay Rumble is such a great character!  He's tough and macho and scarred and in some ways, he's a marshmallow -- looking for the same things as most of us ... love, belonging, family.  The reader learns a lot about Bay, the things he has had to overcome since he was born and abandoned in a garbage dump.  I found myself looking at him with a different set of eyes.

He's been living on his boat, managing to eke out a living by doing various things. One of the things he had not imagined was finding a dead body hanging from the rafters  with her throat cut... a woman he has never met, doesn't know.  But someone thinks he knows something and they want whatever that is. He receives a note ... You're Next ... but the cops don't seem to be taking this seriously.  When the sisters of the woman come to Bay and hire him to find the killer, the bodies start piling up and Bay is almost one of them.

The energy of the book is incredible ... the action never seems to stop.  I found myself reading far longer than I had planned... just couldn't put it down.  Lots of twists and turns keep the reader absolutely spell-bound.

I can hardly wait to see where Book 3 takes me ....

Many thanks to the author who sent  me a copy of his book in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.

This book was even better than book 1! It gave you in depth accounts on almost every single characters in this series. It also gave you new characters to look forward to! A definite read!

Stellar series.  Book 2 of this trilogy did. not. disappoint. at. all. As another reviewer stated, this book starts where the first book ended.  It's been a few months since I'd finished the first book until I was able to start this one,  but it never felt that way as I was reading it.  I am enjoying his series immensely and look forward to reading the final story of the characters I've come to treasure.  Give this trilogy a try - I don't think you will be disappointed.  Excuse me while I go order book 3 asap...

After reading the first book in this series, I couldn't wait to jump into book 2.  I fully enjoyed the way the author brought other characters into the fold, and what a shocking and unexpected twist towards the end.  On to book 3...

Book 1 was by far the best, this one is 2nd..  This has some good twists and a solid plot.  But, it does through me off a few times, where I said, "What, again?"  - You'll understand.

Character development over the three books was excellent.  One new character in this book I really like.

Well worth the read.

Seriously didn't think it could get better than book 1 but...paint my face red because I couldn't have been more wrong!

This story just keeps getting better and better with every page you turn. In book 2 you get the same emotional intensity and beautifully written detail as you did in book 1. You get to see more incite into the characters lives, both in the past and the present. The things these men and women have lived through and come out on the other end as the strong, pure hearted, loving, amazing people that they are is just astounding.

You also get to meet so many new and diverse characters in this book. They all lend an integral part to this story whether it be a small or large part. You get to see more of the club dynamics and how those dynamics differ between an HC and an MC.

There are a lot of intense scenes, some seriously steamy scenes, some wicked party scenes and a good dose of humor. The sheer mechanics of how the scenes play out in this story, with the detail and precise placing shows the author took her time and either researched or just knew how these things work. It is positively flawless in my eyes.

Oh and did I mention very little to no editing issues in this writers work...ahhhhh so refreshing in today's reading world!! ;) In my opinion this is a well thought out, laid out and executed book and series.

My only issue with this book? Book 3 isn't out yet!! lol Oh well, can't rush perfection so I'll just sit here patiently drumming my fingers and waiting for release news!

Loved book 1, last night stumbled on the fact book 2 was out, bought it.....couldn't put it down.  I like how the characters identities are being developed on the home front for when John and Jill make it back.  Book 3 is going to be an interesting read.  I think I'll go back and reread book 1.  Thank you Jeff for this series.

I really enjoyed book 2. I was hoping more would have been resolved in this book but at least book 3 will be out soon and hopefully the various plot twists will be resolved.  I love the characters in this book. Strong, loyal, alpha! My favorite. Great book!
