I really enjoyed this audiobook. Amy Rubinate does a great job of narrating it, capturing the essence of not just America, but of the other characters too, and I was able to once again lose myself in the story.
If you're looking to give audiobooks a try, this series is a good place to start.

I was really excited for this sequel but unfortunately, it fell victim to the second book slump for me. Not a lot happens for the first 3/4 of the book except for Mila's steady internal whining about how horrible her life is now. Hunter is with her but for a hot nerd boy, he acts completely oblivious to how she's behaving or what's going on around them. It was annoying. The narrator didn't help the situation either. Her voice is rather grating and she had some trouble switching between the characters. At one point she was supposed to be voicing Mila but used Hunter's voice.
There are sporadic action scenes thrown in here and there and a cliffhanger at the end that I think was supposed to make me angry, but honestly, I was kind of glad it was over. I don't know if I'll bother with the final book. If I do, I'm definitely skipping the audio version.
I agree with your review of MILA. Although I read the book, so I didn't have the narrator problem. I didn't love the first book and was totally annoyed when they pretty much left Hunter out of most of it, what was the point of that? To try and create a love triangle that doesn't even exist? Mila did whine. I would have liked a little more from Hunter as far as seeing it and maybe snapping her out of it? There was much waiting, a few romantic scenes that were nice enough. But overall I was expecting something different. And I wasn't thrilled with the end (you know it made me twitch). I'll read #3 but only b/c I'm two books invested into this and need to know how Driza finishes it out.
