review 1: Altercation....where do I begin? Altercation was just as much of a wild ride as Perilous was. I don't want to give anything away, so this is going to be short. But really if you read Perilous, it's almost necessary to read Altercation to finish the story. Afterall, Perilous never really does explain the mystery behind Jaci's father. This really is a good mystery for the YA genre. That being said, it's not something that I'd feel worthy of spending money on. It's a solid mystery with everything wrapped up nicely in the end, well as nicely as is possible.
review 2: I really enjoyed Perilous, the first book in the series, thrilling at the action, danger and suspense. Since it ended with the girls (Perilous spoiler ahead) saved by the FBI, I wasn't sure where Alter... morecation would go. Pursuing the romance between Jaci and Ricky? Delving into the mystery of Jaci's dad? The Hand being captured and brought to justice?The author did something completely unexpected with this sequel, something that surprised and delighted me, because usually sequels tend to rehash the first book and don't live up to the hype. But Heiner introduced new characters, Jaci's brother Seth and the FBI guy's daughter, who get involved in the action and add an element of interest with a new POV. I found myself enjoying these new characters and how they get into the chase.This is a well-plotted, tightly-woven novel that plunges the girls back into danger while building on the psychological after-effects of their previous experience, with elements of romance between characters as a teaser to what might develop in later sequels. I look forward to more! less
