Wow...where to start, lol. First, the 'return' of Ryan Price from his fatal battle wounds from the last book was...creepy and gross, lol. And I LOVED the love scene between Ryan and Christine...VERY romantic, and quite interesting how they made the earth 'move', lol! I was definitely rooting for Christine at the Christmas ball!!!...reminds me so much of how shallow and small-minded people in so-called 'civilized' society can STILL be...
The ending was a shocker, and I'm feeling really bad for Edward right about now! Tension, tension, and MORE tension!! so excuse me while I grab the next installemnt to read!!! :o)

After reading the first book, "Abraxas:The Beginning", the plot definitely thickens in this installment. I love the chemistry between Ryan and Christine. It's steamy yet playful, tense at times, and at other times, perfectly romantic. We get to learn a lot more about each of them, as well as Kiera and Edward, who, although quiet sometimes, expresses a fun-loving, typical 'college boy' personality. "Definitions" touches on the topic of the continued intolerance of the mixing of cultures and classes among upper-crust society (although you can see it anywhere in all walks of life) and blatantly shows itself at a snobbish social charity ball that Ryan has been invited to. Christine, however executes her revenge on her 'attackers' with a calm, cool poise, even verbally putting a woman in her place when she attempts to insult Christine's intelligence. Things hit really hard near the end when a mysterious woman named Natasha confronts Christine in the ladies room and convinces her that she and Ryan conceived a child who's now eight years old. This shock causes a sudden shift in Christine;s powers making her vulnerable to Abraxas' dark side and she leaves the ball in haste, things between her and Ryan unresolved. Poignant, thrilling and intriguing, I admire the bravery Ms. Santiago takes in touching on the weaknesses and uselessness of prejudiced ways among people today. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next installment!
