Fun quick read although not as good as the first book. Slow in places, a little redundant and surprisingly... boring. But the ending was so satisfying it made the rest of the book worthwhile. James starts retreading the same stuff over and over again with many (many) love scenes that neither progress the story nor introduce an untried kink factor. Although she does introduce a fabulous phrase "kinky fuckery". Overall worth reading but not quite the same thrill as the first book, either with the Twilight comparisons or the barrier-crossing sex ideas (for the uninitiated chick porn reader).
