About the Book:
Following their panicked escape from Wakefield, Astrid Chalke, Max Fisher, and their friends find themselves adrift and on the run in western Massachusetts. After picking up a young thief with a complex philosophy, and dealing with the pains of prescription drug withdrawal, they make their way to Boston.
Drained by a long trek to the city, the damaged teens settle in an underground tunnel community—a city below the city that appears to lie on the fringes of both the world above and the world of magic. Among the eccentric tunnel folk, they encounter the fabulous Angie DeVille, a self-made hipster and socialite who takes them under her neon wing and envelops them in her breathless and fast paced life.
Funded by a seemingly ruthless organization, the relentless Dr. Lycen is tasked with hunting down the Wakefield escapees. But as Astrid and Max eke out a meager existence in their new home and do their best to stay off Dr. Lycen's radar, they learn that new and even more harrowing threats might be lurking just over the horizon.

My Thoughts:
Before I start talking about how awesome this book was, I feel it fair to say that this is the second book in the series. Though I will not give spoilers of this book, there is a chance if you haven't read the first book I might provide spoilers of it. Just thought I'd let y'all know.
Picking up where Wakefield left off, Astrid and the rest of the Wakefield crew are on the run and dealing with the fallout from escaping. They soon find out, though, that Dr. Lycen might not be their only threat.
I was so excited to read this book after having read the first! Something about this series just pulls me right in, and I can't recommend it enough. It's not a type of story you read every day but it's one that I just couldn't put down. All I can say is I can't wait for book 3! If you read and loved Wakefield as much as I did, I recommend you grab a copy of Tunnelville now and dive back into the story! As for me, I'm going to go start in on reading Perfection, book 3 in the series. I'm guessing after y'all finish Tunnelville you'll be ready for it too!
Thanks Paige!
