Traitor by Christina Leigh Pritchard is the second book in the CIN Series, a YA urban fantasy. This review contains spoilers for book 1, but not book 2.

It has been three years since Lisa was struck by lightning and made immortal. Three years since she's been stuck in Lynn. It hasn't been too bad, though, because she has her boyfriend Alex and her friends. But something inside her is changing, and she fears she's dying. Alex and Ally might know what's wrong, but they are keeping secrets from her.

When I read book one, I wondered what other secrets the weird town of Lynn could possibly have. There were so many mind blowing, bizarre revelations, I wasn't sure if the second book could be as good or interesting. Well, it was. The author came up with more mind-blowing revelations and secrets which add more threads to the tapestry of the town. She did a very good job with it. There was so much complexity, suspense, and mystery to the story. It reminded me very much of the TV show 'Lost.'

There were multiple narrators in this book. The narrators were reliable and trustworthy while you were reading from their perspective. But the characters who weren't narrating were keeping secrets, lying, and manipulating so much that it was difficult to understand which characters were to be trusted. It made for a very interesting story, although I can't say I'd ever like to meet any of those psychos. All the characters had some serious issues.

What I didn't like about the story was how dark or sexual it was. So many of the characters had creepy secrets or were an irritation away from seriously hurting or killing someone. So many of them were cheating on each other or had in the past. The characters never had sex "on screen" in the book, but they came pretty darn close, which I skimmed over because I'm not comfortable with reading it.

I enjoyed this book for how creative and complex the mystery and plot were even though I disliked parts of it.

I received a complementary copy of this book from NetGalley. All opinions are my own, and I received no compensation for writing them.

I went into this story with high expectations after loving the first one, and it doesn't disappoint! I enjoyed this sequel almost as much as the first.

Oh dear. I didn't enjoy CIN very much, and unfortunately I liked this one even less.

I'm sorry, this was a real struggle to get through. We have different POV in this story, and I felt that it didn't work well. Just too confusing for me.

Not my thing at all.
