Week 7 Review: Rain

From Goodreads:
American Katie Green has decided to stay in Japan. She's started to build a life in the city of Shizuoka, and she can't imagine leaving behind her friends, her aunt and especially Tomohiro, the guy she's fallen in love with. But her return is not as simple as she thought. She's flunking out of Japanese school and committing cultural faux pas wherever she goes. Tomohiro is also struggling—as a Kami, his connection to the ancient gods of Japan and his power to bring drawings to life have begun to spiral out of control.

When Tomo decides to stop drawing, the ink finds other ways to seep into his life—blackouts, threatening messages and the appearance of unexplained sketches. Unsure how to help Tomo, Katie turns to an unexpected source for help—Jun, her former friend and a Kami with an agenda of his own. But is Jun really the ally he claims to be? In order to save themselves, Katie and Tomohiro must unravel the truth about Tomo's dark ancestry, as well as Katie's, and confront one of the darkest gods in Japanese legend.

My Review:
Man, this was such a fantastic sequel! I've been meaning to read this book for so long, to the point where I had to reread the first book before I came back to it. And it was worth the wait, I loved being back in this world with these characters! 

While Katie decided to stay in Japan, it doesn't mean that everything was dealt with. Tomo's powers have become unpredictable, and his effort of stopping makes things even worse. I loved learning more about what was going on with his powers, getting the history of this world! 

It was so great to send this time with this pair again! The first book built them up as characters and their romance, and they leaned on one another in this one, and they needed to, with everything that they were going though! 

I'm so excited for the final book! With everything that was set up in this book, it has me so excited to see how everything is going to resolve there! There is a short story that I'm so glad that we're getting, it's going to add so much to this world, and then Storm! I'm so excited! 

This was such a great read, and I can't wait to finish out the series!
