This one keeps you guessing. I couldn't and wouldn't put it down. I feel more in love with this couple. He Taylor has a true talent for making you feel everything going on in a scene. I can't wait to read the next one. A must read

I actually liked this story more than the first one.  Never thought I'd say that, because the first books was fantastic.

I ended up liking this book better than the first. First one sets up the characters and rolls through the outbreak in fairly standard fashion I would say, but this one is firmly planted in the post apocalyptic genre. It becomes less about the infected and more about the drama between the characters and the various factions that emerge...without revealing too much...the storytelling is also much better in this one. Feels more natural

Possibly better than the first book.  More characters added to the mix and the plot thickens with everything  a "basic" girl could love

This may be the second in the series however it is stronger in the action and attention seeking. This book was stronger and better all around than the first book. I enjoyed it and could not put it down. It is worth a 5/5 star rating in my opinion.

Im not sure if I have a thing for tortured heroes or if it was just that this one was better than the first.  This had an unpredictable twist I didn't see coming.  Just when you think you figured it out, something extra gets thrown in.  Well Done

This book was a much better read than the first. Will move onto the final before canceling my kindle unlimited membership.

This review will be brief:  I could not stop reading this book.  I thought this one was better than the first.  There was much more action and more of a storyline.  I am very excited to read the next book in the series.

This is the second in the series. I was very curious to see where it went and was pleased to find I actually liked it better than the first. All of my favorite characters were back along with some great new ones. Can't wait for number 3.

Personally, I think I like this book better than the first. I was pleased that Maddie found herself, and the way she did was pretty kickass, if I do say so myself. Of course, I was still screaming at her through half of the book because of her wildly insane schemes, but they made me laugh. And the whole thing with Rykerian at the end... what in the world (or rather, their worlds) is gonna happen with that?

So yes, I do believe I liked this book better than the first, and that is a good thing considering how many series I have started that just end up going completely downhill after the first book. There was more going on and I really liked the detail that was used. I must say, I would not want to run into a heptamorg any day.

This book flowed better and it was less predictable than the first book. I can't wait to start reading book 3.

I definitely liked this book better than the first. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I liked the plot and I love the main character.

I thought the second book was better than the first.  And the third better than the second. Bring on the fourth!

This is the second in the series.  I honestly think this book was better than the first... The characters and their storyline were so well written.

Liked it better than the first one ... maybe I'm just getting to know the characters better. It's a quick read with no lulls in the action.
