Ratings and reviews

This book was enjoyable, exactly what you would expect from a book for young teens. If you liked the first one you'll like this one. It was paced very nicely for a short book(nothing felt rushed or too slow).Really see this series being able to grow with its readers. All in all a fun read any kid would enjoy.

I enjoyed this book very much, it was kinda boring at first but the pace sped up and then all the action happened. It was much too short and I finished it in a day. I liked the first better but this was still amazing. Cant wait to read the third when it comes out

This was a pleasure to read. My only complaint is that it was over much too quickly after a long wait (long for me, but no Robert Jordan - type wait). I hope the next book cones out fast!!! I thought sure that Call was a decoy, and Aaron embodies Constantine's soul. We shall see!
