Summary from Goodreads:
It's been months since Aria learned of her mother's death.
Months since Perry became Blood Lord of the Tides, and months since Aria last saw him.
Now Aria and Perry are about to be reunited. It's a moment they've been longing for with countless expectations. And it's a moment that lives up to all of them. At least, at first.

Then it slips away. The Tides don't take kindly to former Dwellers like Aria. And the tribe is swirling out of Perry's control. With the Aether storms worsening every day, the only remaining hope for peace and safety is the Still Blue. But does this haven truly exist?
Threatened by false friends and powerful temptations, Aria and Perry wonder, Can their love survive through the ever night?

Review: This sequel moves at a better pace than the first book. There was a point, for a brief moment, that I was afraid I wouldn’t like the direction that this book and the relationship between Aria and Perry were going, but everything feel into place quite well. Don’t get me wrong, bad things happen and there is no happily ever after, but it works and makes an interesting story. 

The characters develop in this book and really seem to become themselves and step into their roles. The action is good and helps drive the plot. The ending was a bit cliff-hanger-ish, but the book felt finished…on to Into the Still Blue I go!
