Title: Belong to Me
Author: Marisa de los Santos
Thoughts: I am embarrassed because de los Santos's first book, Love Walked In, is one of my absolute favorites... and I had no idea her second was due out last week. Honestly, anyone walking next to me on the street when I noticed the big BARNES AND NOBLE RECOMMENDS poster in the window must have thought I was crazy, because I stopped in my tracks and stared for a good minute or two.
I wasn't expecting de los Santos's second book to be a sequel to her first, but I'm glad it was. I had no idea how much I'd missed those characters until I started reading about them again. And yet, she writes a story that isn't dependent on the first to make sense, which I like. The new characters were just as wonderful and developed and perfect as the old, and, as ever, de los Santos has an absolutely magical ability with turn of phrase and metaphor. I love it and it makes me jealous at the same time. High praise! It's a book I'll read and reread many times, I'm sure.
