Synopsis:
There is need. And then there is Fate... Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outlet isn’t exactly awesome—especially when Alexandria’s "other half" is everywhere she goes. Seth’s in her training room, outside her classes, and keeps showing up in her bedroom—so not cool. Their connection does have some benefits, like staving off her nightmares of the tragic showdown with her mother, but it has no effect on what Alex feels for the forbidden, pure-blooded Aiden. Or what he will do—and sacrifice—for her. When daimons infiltrate the Covenants and attack students, the gods send furies—lesser gods determined to eradicate any threat to the Covenants and to the gods, and that includes the Apollyon... and Alex. And if that and hordes of aether-sucking monsters didn’t blow bad enough, a mysterious threat seems willing to do anything to neutralize Seth, even if that means forcing Alex into servitude... or killing her. When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone 

I would put this book on the same level as the first book. It wasn't better than the first one because I don't feel like the tension or the war between daimons and other races ramps up at all. It wasn't worse either but once again I feel that the love triangle between Alex, Seth, and Aiden takes precedence over everything else in the story. I want the books to focus more on the prejudice between the halfs and the pures as well as the danger that the daimons presents. 
I did appreciate that Alex changed and grew more in this book but it felt at times like the author did not devote enough time to her trials. We get a glimpse of Alex's reaction to having lost someone close to her in this book but then she goes right back to obsessing over her feelings for Aiden. I like Aiden but I wish that Alex would just get over him already because I'm sick of her pining over him. The amount of action in this book was the same although the plot needed work. I understand that this is a sequel but I feel like nothing was added to the story and everything just carried on from the first book. The only thing that happens is more halfs being changed and meeting more people that hate Alex.
