Desire (Wish, Book Two)

Opus
An exciting sequel to the last book. The story is so good it’s hard to stop reading. The revelation of Taylor’s identity is remarkable.

Desire is a great 2nd installment
The Wish series continues with unexpected plot twists as Taylor learns more about her skills and begins to develop true relationships and friendships. It’s enlightening to follow her development and see where it leads.

I stayed up all night until I finished Desire.
I absolutely loved this book! Just when I thought I had every situation and person figured out, I was dumbstruck by just how wrong I was. I've read quite a few of Morgan Rice's books, but none so far has sent me reeling like this series. I can't wait to start book three!

Something Missing
I liked the book despite its flaws. The plot is more intereting than I expected but as I read it I kept feeling that something was missing, call it character development or atmosphere, I found it lacking. Despite the plot, I found it difficult to engage in the story or the lives of the characters. Of course there are also the mechanical flaws. So here's my basic list of issues.1) This book is riddled with typos, missing words, extra words, wrong words, which disrupt the flow of the story for the reader.2) Events occur that are never explained. Where did Jesse really disappear to for 2 weeks and when he came back, why did no one ask him about his absence? Everyone acted as if he never left.3) And then there's the 'deus ex machina' towards the end in the form of a recording device. Where did that come from? It was never mentioned previously but because of it . . . Never mind. Spoiler.4) I personally don't like pugnacious main characters and Taylor is one. She insults people, beats them up, and is pretty clueless when it comes to relationships but the hot guy is still attracted to her. Why? I get that she grew up in a trailer park and never dated but she's not a five-year old. And, she must have had some experience with friends. But then we don't get any meaningful glimpse into her background to help us understand her. The same is true of others around her.5) That brings me to atmosphere, which is part setting and part the characters' experience of the setting and together they can create a mood that serves as a kind of physical and emotional backdrop for the story and the inner struggles of the characters. The setting of islands shrouded in fog and connected by bridges, springs with glowing waters, a waterfall at midnight, dirty shacks as cabins, mysterious tunnels are all wonderful settings. But they are not experienced by the characters. The way the characters experience their world can tell us much about who they are and who they could become.I'll probably read the next book because it has a decent plot but if its like this one it will be like eating a good meal to which the cook has forgotten to add seasoning.

Pulls you in
This entire series is phenomenal. The world building and character development are amazing. I also read the series that started with transmission of hers and it was the same quality.This author is definitely one to follow.My only disappointment has nothing to do with the skill of the writer or the quality of the book which are both top-notch but the fact that the last two books are going to not come out until September or October!

Looking for answers doesn't always work out so well.
In this second book interview series Taylor is still in Mistfalls Wilderness camp. The camp is still as terrible but Taylor is determined to stay and find the answers to her questions. Also there's Jess, theres something about him that she is drawn to. But learning the answers to her questions doesn't always work out so well. It's a fast paced fun read that has a good level of tension and an interesting twist here and there.

Great book
Wow, there are so many ups and downs Taylor has to go through in this book with her friends and her crush. This book was a page-turner as on each page, someone was setting her up, and the ending was a shock to me. Now, on to the next book to read more because this series is so good and unique, with supernatural powers and interactions.

Who are they really after?
More security. More attacks. More secrets. More tunnels. Taylor is letting down her guard and letting Jessie just in time for the arrival of trouble in the form of an ex-girlfriend with evil on her mind.This is shaping up to be a great series but I expect no less from Morgan Rice. I received an advance copy but my review is honest and voluntary.
