Wild Sky by Suzanne and Melanie Brockmann is the second book in the Night Sky series. Months have passed since Milo, Dana, Calvin, and Skylar rescued Sasha. During this quiet interlude, Sky works with Dana to develop her abilities and the group prepares for their next mission to find Lacy. Their peace is interrupted when an old enemy arrives with request that sets them against a dangerous new adversary.
Sky has grown and developed along with her abilities. While training with Dana, her abilities have become stronger and she has learned more about her limitations. Dana has also taught her how to be street smart and wiser, but Sky is still a teenager. She is whiney, angsty, and in love with her boyfriend, Milo. Sky’s abilities allow the two to communicate telepathically, but secrets begin to drive the two apart.
Wild Sky was a good book. The story starts with an explosive exposition, before slowing down to develop the plot. From there, the plot builds tension at a slow and steady pace. While still borrowing elements of its predecessor’s mystery storyline, Wild Sky moves away from a mystery plot. New problems and objectives intertwine with old ones creating a layered plot. Romance was a much bigger portion of this plot as well. The romance between Milo and Sky became a huge part of the story. As their relationship went through rough patches, the story exploded with Sky’s drama and internal angst. At times this relationship took precedence over the plot and left other budding romances in the background. While the teen angst could be annoying at time, Sky and Milo both grew because of it. At the same time, Calvin and Dana grew steadily as the book progressed. This series’ power system expanded through Sky’s development and the introduction of new characters. Unfortunately, new questions are also raised and the limits of a GTs powers are not well defined. I give this 436 page book 4 stars.
