WOW! Can I just say wow. When I first came across Cloak and Dagger I didn't know what to expect. I thought it sounded good and took a chance on it. Can I say that was a good choice. I loved that book so much because it was different from anything else I was reading at the time. I'm into YA books about vampires and werewolves and stuff and I don't really differentiate to other genres usually. (Yea I LOVED Twilight so suck it!) But Cloak and Dagger was so different it was refreshing.
Ok on to Armed and Dangerous. This book starts off a couple of years after Cloak and Dagger. Christina is setting off to college in Arizona and hoping for a fresh start after all the bullshit she went through. And boy is she messed up. She knows the IMA are still watching her and she is scared(rightly so). And things are alright until she runs in to someone. Then there is Micheal. We learn that after he leaves Christina at the end of Cloak and Dagger that he goes on the run. He's trying to protect her but well....His plans don't work out so well. Thus begins their reunion and they set out to run from all of the people after the two of them.
This book was everything I hoped for and more. What I really enjoyed about this book was the character growth. Christina is stronger in this book than she was in the first. In this one she starts to come into her own. She now realizes the world isn't always nice and that shit isn't always black and white. It's a world of grey and hers now falls to the darker sides of it. I love that she tells her mom off too. Can I say her parents are a piece of work. Her mom is soooooo self centered and a bitch that I just wanted to punch her in the face. Yes I knew that's how she was from the first book but I still wanted to punch her again in this one. And her Dad is such a pussy it's ridiculous. Anyway. Christina really struggles with herself and emotions in this book. She has to analyze how she really feels about Micheal and with who she wants to be. But she is starting to get to know her real self and that was refreshing to read about. Now Micheal is another story. I like that we get to see how he feels about Christina. He does love her in his own way. It's not conventional and it's not easy but it's his version of love. I like that he wants to be the man Christina wants him to be but he also knows that he is what he is. A Killer. But he really does have a heart. He will do whatever it takes to keep her safe and I love him for that.
This book was great and I really can't wait for book three. PLEASE WRITE IT SOON NENIA!!!
