Unearthly wasn't as good as the first book, but it was still amazing. It started out a little slow for me, but eventually the story caught me in its crutches again like it did in the first book. Clara faces more hard times and tough decisions than she did before and on the way she loses someone she loves. With surprising twists, dangerous situations, and secrets revealed, Gardner crafts a continually fascinating story that I hope won't stop now.
