Review:
In book two of the second trilogy in the Almost Human Series by Melanie Nowak, we once again see much of Allie and Mattie's story, along with several other key players. Ben and Felicity have taken their relationship to the next level and are very happy together. Felicity will always love Cain, but she loves Ben too, and she has decided she can be happy with a life with him, regardless of the fact that Ben's father is some crazy vampire hunter bent on eliminating every vampire he can find. And dragging Felicity into all of his secrets and asking that she keep them from Ben. Cain is mentoring Allie now and she has many talents that keep popping up during the book. However, her thirst is a serious problem that she kind of keeps from Mattie and Cain. It reaches a point where Sindy coerces her into trying to drink from humans, just to try it. Unfortunately, it seems to be the only thing to satiate her thirst better and longer than animals do. She is forced to lie to Cain and Mattie about her whereabouts from time to time and things get very complicated. It is no secret that Arif is still after her to join his coven, if only temporarily. Arif seems to think that Allie will turn into some thirst-crazed evil vampire, and the worse her thirst gets, they can't help but wonder a moment here and there if he might be right. But Cain doesn't trust Arif and Allie received a warning about joining him from an unlikely source. Sindy is using her wiles as normal, but is still showing signs of improvement at becoming a better person. But with her, you never know what angle she's working. All in all, it's another exciting read from the author!
5 out of 5 stars!
