I thought this sequel was as good and creepy as the first one and I enjoyed seeing where her journey is taking her-well done.

The second book is just as good as the first!! This series is a wonderful representation of two people in love but hiding it in order to keep the world around them intact. Can't wait for the next installment!!

I was gifted a copy of this book by the author.

Checked Again is a rare sequel that is just as great as the first book. The writing is intelligent, honest, and witty without trying too hard. The characters are engaging and true to life. This is such a unique series and I have fallen completely in love with it and the characters.

*Mild Spoiler*

My only small issue is the lack of conversation between Callie and Aiden. I felt like she was so much in her head, and that Aiden did all of the talking during their conversations. I hope Callie will have more of a voice in the third book. That being said, Checked Again is still a 5 star read for me.

*End Spoiler*

The Checked series is a beautiful story. Highly recommended!

The second book in this series is just as good if not better than the first. After reading "Irin" I was curious as to what was going to happen next. Such is the nature of reading a new series. However, after reading "Scepter" I was on the edge of my seat! As a prequel, it blends perfectly into the events of its predecessor, finally answering some of the questions about the characters and events that were burning in the back of my mind. Fortunately, "Scepter" gives small clues as to the characters futures without revealing too much, leaving the reader wanting more and more. If these stories are any clue as to to the calibre of R. Lee Walsh's writing, we can only expect great things from her in the future.

Loves this book just as much as the first! I deeply hope that a third will come pit soon. My son and I have loved these two!

If you have read the first and enjoyed it you will not be disappointed by the sequel. Cannot wait for the next one!

Harry and all the gang from Hogwarts are back and in full force in this exciting sequel to the original.  This book is just as well written and, like the first, I would become so immersed in the story that I would get quite a shock when I would finally lift my head from the pages and realise that I was actually back in this world sitting in my living room!  Perhaps this story is just a tad darker than the first but certainly no darker than more traditional fairy tales such as those of the Brothers Grimm.  I'll be moving onto the third book just as soon as I can.

Following in the footsteps of the first novel, this sequel can definitely stand tall. I compulsively read this in two sittings, & I can't wait for the third!

A few (like 6) random grammatical/spelling errors that really bothered me because I'm a grammar nazi but as far as the book goes: just as good as the first! I struggled to put it down! I'm a student and I use reading as my study breaks and more often than not, with these 2 books, my 20 min breaks became 45 min breaks because I JUST NEEDED TO FINISH THE CHAPTER or get a little farther!! Highly recommend.

Just as great as the first book! The only problem I had was remembering some of the details from the first book.

As much as I enjoyed the first book, this sequel is even better.  The plot builds and so do the characters.  The only drawback is that I can't wait to read the conclusion in the third novel.  I anxiously await.

Cold Energy is definitely an excellent sequel to Dead Energy! It does a great job continuing some of the plot elements from the first book, while having a well-defined storyline of its own. Each of the main characters are again very likeable, while villainous characters keep you guessing as to what they're up to next. As with book 1, Cold Energy reminds me of the action-adventure style of the early works of Michael Crichton, with details that hint at deeper technical and geological understanding. But, happily, the reader is never bogged down by those details as her/she enjoys the narrative.
