* This review contains spoilers for the first volume *

I am officially obsessed with this series. I loved this way to much. I am glad that I own the third volume and that I can read it immediately. I can't seem to find anything I dislike about these comics.

The second volume, compared to the first, had a lot more thrilling and intense moments. Things started to get more action packed and even more awesome than in the first one. The writing and art continued to be beautiful and amazing.

One thing I loved about this volume is that there were flashbacks. Through them we were able to see how Marko and Alana met and how they fell in love. We learned more about both of their pasts as well, which was great.

As it was shown at the end of the first volume, we get to meet Marko's parents. I loved both of them, they really added to the story. I loved seeing the relationship between Marko's parents, him and Alana. That was really amazing and sad, although I am not going to say why it was sad because it would spoil it.

Alana and Marko are still my favourite characters. I am finding myself liking Izabel more and more. She is sassy and sarcastic, both traits I love in characters, and I simply find her amazing. I can't wait to read more about her.

Another aspect of this volume that I liked is that we saw more of The Will and his party. Although he is hunting Alana and Marko I am really enjoying his character. It's always fun reading about him and Lying Cat. The additions to his team are also great and I can't wait to see where it will take them.
