A Want so Wicked
Suzanne Young
A Need So Beautiful #2
Synopsis: Elise is a normal seventeen-year-old girl until the day she wakes up in a desert park, with no idea who she is.
After that episode, her life takes a bizarre turn. She’s experiencing unexpected flashes of insight into people’s lives—people she’s never met before. Strangers frighten her with warnings about the approaching Shadows. And although Elise has never had a boyfriend, she suddenly finds herself torn between two handsome but very different young men: Abe, the charming bad boy whose affect on her both seduces and frightens her, and the mysterious Harlin, who’s new to town but with whom Elise feels an urgent, elemental connection—almost as if they are soul mates.
Now Elise begins to question everything about her life. Why do these guys both want her so desperately? What are the Shadows? Why does the name Charlotte inspire a terrifying familiarity? And who is Elise, really?

My thoughts: I enjoyed the first book in this series, but A Want so Wicked is so much better! I was really pleasantly surprised when I started reading this book. There is so much more excitement and suspense in this book!
I surprisingly was not confused when I started this book. I did read the synopsis before picking this book up, and sort of made my own assumptions about this new Elise character.
I really liked Elise. It was quite like reading about Charlotte again, but it still wasn't like I was rereading the first book. Elise has no idea who she is, and weird things start happening to her. I really liked the psychic lady who comes into Elise's life. She's really quite scary at first, but then she becomes such a great mentor for Elise. I also liked having some of the characters from the first book come back in, such as Harlin.
Abe was a really creepy character. I didn't put two and two together as to who he really was until quite a bit into the book. So really, I think he is more than just creepy. He could be very terrifying! I thought it was so weird (and very frustrating for me as the reader) to have Elise completely not remember the bad things that Abe was doing. I just wanted her to remember!
The ending to this book was perfect. However, it makes me think that this book may be the last in this series. I would be very disappointed if there wasn't at least one more book in this series! I could really use some more of Elise and Harlin!
