Second Sight by Maria Rachel Hooley, the third installment in the Sojourner series, is splendid. Hooley continues to catch me by surprise because she doesn't always deliver what you're expecting. I find that refreshing.

Elizabeth Moon is struggling with life, day and night. In the day, she is constantly reminded of her loss by Lev's absence. At night, she is surrounded by dreams of Lev that taunt her, and once she wakes up he is always gone. She can't escape and she doesn't understand why he abandoned her. I mean Angels don't die so where the heck is he?

Second Sight brings back a lot of the old characters from Sojourner and Covenant and also introduces some new characters. Surprisingly, I was glad to see Griffin back. I approve of Lizzie and Griffin's new friendship, and I think he really underwent some character changes since Sojourner. He redeemed himself, and I like how Hooley wrote him in as a "big brother" instead of a love interest.

The suspense was the best part of this novel. It took me a little while and some questioning before I decided: "Who is good?", "Who is bad?", and "Where the heck is Lev?"

I gave Second Sight by Maria Rachel Hooley 4 STARS and I strongly recommend this novel, as well as this series.

The second in the Sojourner series, Second Sight is somewhat darker than the first book, Sojourner. The characters develop tremendously. The main character, Elizabeth, struggles with her own anger, emotion, and confusion. We are introduced to a darker world which is filled with anxiety and intensity. As with many second installments in trilogies, the reader is left with a "cliffhanger" ending that will leave him wanting more.

I was sooo happy when i discovered that this was a trilogy! the second book was actually BETTER than the first one. i couldnt help being so angry at angel boy (lol) when he just left elizebeth hanging. but i think it ended perfectly and left room for the third.

5 STARS!

A wonderful second installment to this trilogy!! Absolutely love this author and these books!! Can't wait until I can read the third book! I would suggest to anyone looking for a great urban fantasy-great for ya or adult.

I don't think anything could describe this book better than "Jaw-dropping".
I am not getting anything done around the house knowing there is a 3rd one!

This second book only took me a few days to get through. I love the characters and the classic battle between good and evil. This story is a welcome addition to urban fantasy.

BRAVO to this author for a wonderfully written 2nd in this series! I have read 5 of her books now and I'm impressed with every one of them. The first in the series, Sojourner, is more than enough to suck you into her world and this book, Second Sight, is an impressive display of her talent and ability to keep you drawn into the world that she has created.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE LAST BOOK IN THIS SERIES! Though, I will read it with sadness, knowing that it will end...

Wow! Another fantastic book by this author. The depth of emotions from the characters really draws you in. I couldn't stop reading either book in this trilogy. Now I'm sad that I have to wait for the third book to be released.

This book brings the power of love and light to the world. We all worry about death, but this books takes a young girl's obsession with death and the Sojourner to the point of grand entertainment. I couldnt' put it down.

This is the second book in the Sojourner Series and I loved it as much as the first. In this story Lizzie has to face going on without Lev, someone she has loved in this life and past. Add that to herself and other loved ones being in danger and it makes for a story thats hard to put down. I look forward to reading the next one.
