First thing first ... since I read book #1 about 14 months ago, I totally didn't remember ANY of the details (and unfortunately my own review didn't help, damn it *lol*) from the previous story. Although I did notice that there was a change in main narrator -- this time, Daniel Harding, the heir to Cybernetix, who was also a member of the anti-mod movement, was talking the role in narrating the story.For around 50k+ words, this story moved fast! It was quite a page-turner, and I didn't have any problem with the pacing. I thought the action sequences were great (running, shooting, blowing things off, hanging on a rope, bleeding ... and repeat the whole process). The chemistry and love between Liam and Daniel was well-maintained and I welcomed the additional plot regarding Daniel and what had happened in between the years he was separated from Liam.Although, I had to admit that the whole sci-fi information element went straight over my head *grin*. If you asked me to explain, I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about the whole mods, UV mod, biomods, nanobots, etc, etc. Didn't matter, the action and characters made up for it. Even if the ending felt a little bit too easy -- I guess I wanted to read about this HUGE showdown between Daniel/Liam facing Daniel's dad. You know, kind of a Mexican standoff and stuffs. The whole thing with Daniel's father being arrested was happen off page, sadly.I did, however, had a couple of niggles. One, the fact that Daniel ended up being 'modified' himself. I liked the idea of Daniel 'staying' human in opposite of Liam, who was a modified vampire. It felt like a 'lost fight' somehow, considering that he was part of the anti-mod movement to begin with. Second, I also had the same issue like a couple of other reviewers, about Anna being a result of a drunken night. Third, with Felix dead -- how was the arrangement between Daniel and Venus in taking care of Anna? Just wanted to have that information wrapped up nicely, I guessBut overall, I really enjoyed it and loving the story. It never dragged on for me -- which was always a good thing.
