review 1: I didn't find Alex's voice convincing in this novel. The plot could have been dealt with far quicker if all of his caveman 'I must protect my little blonde woman' observations had been cut. What most concerns me is it's never flagged up how unhealthy this relationship is - obsessive, possessive, co-dependent, yet it's treated like every teen's dream. I dread to think what would happen to Emma if she ever tried to leave Alex.
review 2: I never review, but I feel I ought to explain myself for my rating of both this novel and it's predecessor. It likely seems odd I would rate the first installment with a one star then read the second, but that is not how it occurred.

... mored was not liking it at all. The plot line seemed thin and the characters flat, but when I came to find out I had read it out of order, I assumed the issues I had with it were due to the fact that I'd not read the first book. I got the first book, Broken, planning to read it then return to the second book but I did not make it that far. I did finish the first book but I did not enjoy it, coming to find it had many of the problems the second book had. Beyond that, the first book did not add to the second at all or fix any of the plot and character problems I was having, so I did not return to Tainted. I very much enjoy this genre, but sadly these books do not get my recommendation. less

As a guy, I enjoy MG and YA books from the guy perspective, but this one was a wash.

Maybe? I didn't love the first one but this maybe sounds interesting
