  3 very conflicted stars.
  
  Please read the highlights as well as the downsides for a full view!
  
  I love Maya Daniels' books, don't get me wrong (I was literally only gushing about this yesterday), but the amount of inconsistencies in this book - combined with the proofreading errors - really disappointed me. They're such obvious errors, I'm surprised a BETA reader didn't pick up on them. There seems to be a serious disconnect between book 1 and 2: things that happened in book 1 are totally forgotten about so we have to see them happen all over again except in a slightly different way. These are major things that are essential to the plot, like Dominic knowing Brooklyn's secret, and Brooklyn knowing who Dominic's inside guy is. It almost felt like book 2 was written before the details of book 1 were finalised. They even found out the same thing twice in this book! There's more, but I think I went into enough detail.
  
  The characters saved the story. Their personalities are so well-developed, they bring lots of humour to the table, and they just bounce off each other really well. I absolutely love the main trio. Alice is so endearing. I will definitely be continuing the series to see more of them, but I really hope there's no more inconsistencies going forward.
  
  As I predicted, we learned A LOT of secrets in this book - very, very, juicy secrets. The book ends on a cliffhanger, so you can bet I am dying for the next one.
  
  I received an ARC copy, and this is my honest review.

  LOWER WORLD is the second book in the Infernal Regions for the Unprepared series and remember how I said the first one wasn't too fast-paced? Yeah, well, we're back to the crazy and frantic pace Maya Daniels is known for!
  
  Don't get me wrong, it is still smoking-hot, and I love how Ms Daniels drags you along into her story, but for me, it just lost a bit of 'something' in the pace. Brooklyn and Dominic are heating up and the trust is building, but with all the action going on, I felt like I missed part of that. Alice is a cracker, as always, and I am loving her role in this.
  
  Now, I was warned about the ending of this book, so I was expecting something. Usually, I end up throwing my Kindle away in disgust at the typical cliff-hanger endings, but this time, this time I was okay with it. Maybe it's because I was warned, or maybe it's because although I know Brooklyn is in danger, she is too tough to go down easy, PLUS she has her crew coming for her. And then there is the whole question mark about her mum. So, yeah, cliff-hanger but one I'm happy with.
  
  I am still loving this series, and can't wait to see where it goes next. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and lie down, get my heart rate down, and be ready to start the world at a normal pace, not superspeed!

  Wow Wow wow!! This was so very good and the ending leaves you needing more! The characters are so amazing, I just love them. Brooklyn carries a lot of guilt for her past, but I hope she starts to see the blame lies elsewhere. She is a better person than she believes herself to be and I think Alice is the person to help her see that. By the way.. Alice may well be my favourite character here and she finds out there is more to her - she is wonder women in her very own special way! . Dominic has his own demons but the ladies win him around and they form their bond and fight the syndicate. Who are relentless in their pursuit of our 3 mismatched friends. Pick this up and read it, you won't regret it!

  This is the second book in the series, and I loved this one more than the first. Brooklyn is such a kick-butt characters, an almost emotionless fighter but she still cares so much for her family. In this latest, the Syndicate is still after her, but they still have their prisoner to find out why they want Brooklyn so bad. I just love Alice and Dominic as a foil for Brooklyn, and they are just so funny together. We find out many secrets in this one, and the end had me ready for more. Great characters and an interesting plot, this is a good urban fantasy for those who like that genre. Highly recommend.

  This book was so action packed my phone was smoking!! I don't even know where to start. They are still hiding from the Syndicate. When the Syndicate finds Alice's house, Brooklyn, Dominic and Alice are running for their lives. Everyone thinks Alice is just a human but what comes out in this book puts that assumption to rest. She is way more than human and something that is very important to this story. So much comes out in this book and the growth of the charters is awesome!!
  
  Brooklyn and Dominic steam up the pages and still fight like cats and dogs. But there is trust between them and something more which you will find out in the book. Brooklyn finds out what really happened to her father and who her mother is. That blew me away I was not expecting this. And when all is said and done Brooklyn will have more power than anyone could imagine. I don't know how to express how good this book is. The author upped the game with this book and It fantastic!!!
  
  My Kindle broke and I had to read it on my phone. I had a terrible headache from reading such small font, but no way I was going to stop reading. That is how good this book is!!!!
  
  The ending I'll tell you right now made me cry. I was so upset with the ending, but this Author always has a reason for what she does. So I hope she writes really fast, I need the next book now!!!!

  Brooklyn, Alice, and Dominic are back in the second book of the series and it picks up where one left off! Still, on the run from the Council and Guardians, they still have Jonathan to interrogate! They are still trying to figure out how Alice performed the rituals she did and successfully~ She is definitely human…but what else could she be hiding? As they continue to fight for answers and to stay alive, many deep secrets shall be uncovered…ones that were not meant for Brooklyn to discover! She will find out more about herself, her lineage, and just how special she is. Only, what will it cost in the end to fulfill? She has learned to rely upon herself, Alice, and Dominic…why should she start trusting others at this point…related or not? Another harrowing adventure on their journey to the full truth will leave you hollering at Maya for the ending in this one!

  Brooklyn is on the run from the Syndicate with an odd collection of friends. This book was one surprise and revelation after another. Everything Brooklyn thought was true has come into question. Who can she trust and what will happen when the truth comes out?

  Power-packed and full of action as only Maya Daniels does best. There is not a book under her belt that isn't good and this one will rock your world.

  This is such a great series!!
  Brooklyn, Alice and Dominic are in hiding from The Syndicate but its not long before trouble finds the trio. In a game of outwit or die, they must work together and trust in each other to be able to make it through the attacks. Truths are discovered, the past revealed, a prophecy learnt, and a friend not as they seem - its action packed, laugh out loud funny and will have to itching for more!!

  Nothing happened. Only one revelation that took two minutes. This book can be skipped in the series.
  
  Hopefully, something to move the plot along will happen next book.
