This was a good read. This is the second book in the Outcast series and it picks up right where the first one left off. I do think that this is a series that needs to be read in order since it is really a continuation of the events from the first book. I absolutely loved the first book in this series, City of Light so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the next installment. It ended up being a entertaining story.

I enjoyed this one but not quite as much as the first in the series. I really had a hard time getting into this book. I am not sure if it was because it had been months since I read the first book or what but it took some time for me to really get back into Tiger's world. Things did pick up quickly for me and before I knew it I was pulled in by the excitement of the story. I seriously couldn't turn the pages fast enough. There were enough action and plot twists to really keep the story moving.

I love the characters in this series. Tiger is such an interesting and strong character. Being the last of her kind, she has learned to depend only on herself and her ghost friends. She still cares about others and is willing to risk everything to save lives. She was created with certain skills and she knows her strengths. It was just a lot of fun to watch her manipulate situations into to get the information that she needs.

I would recommend this series to fans of futuristic fantasy. I do think that readers will need to read the first book in the series to enjoy this second installment. I do wish that this book had wrapped up a little more. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in this series because I need to find out what happens next.

I received an advance reader edition of this book from Berkley Publishing Group via NetGalley.

Initial Thouhts
I didn't like this one nearly as much as the first one in the series. It took me a while to really get back into the story but by the end I wanted more. I wish things had been wrapped up a bit more at the end of the book.
