Alex and Lila are on the run, desperately trying to stay one step ahead of the Unit, which is somehow tracking their every move. While Alex is determined to keep Lila safe and her ability secret at any cost, Lila's only thought is of finding a way back to California so she can rescue her brother and mother from the military base where they're being held. Struggling to control both her growing power and her deepening feelings for Alex, Lila decides the time has finally come to stop running and start fighting. Together with Alex, Demos, and the others she's come to think of as family, Lila plans not only to save her brother and mum, but also to completely destroy the Unit and everything it stands for. But the plan requires Lila to return to California alone, and to make friends with the enemy - and in doing so, she risks losing everything: Alex, her family… even her life.

Action-packed, filled with hot sleek scenes and shell-shocking revelations, the sequel to Hunting Lila is even more thrilling than the first.

Losing Lila picks up when Lila and Alex are on the run from the unit after the infamous Joshua-tree shooting. Alex goes to tremendous lengths to protect Lila, even sometimes from herself. With the unit hot on their tail the lovesick pair end up in run down Mexico City trying to escape the units grasp while getting to know the local drug dealer along the way. Joining forces with Demos, the plan is made to take down the unit and Richard Sterling forever. 

Losing Lila was an adrenaline rush to read, sometimes it felt like being in a Die Hard movie! There were sooo many intense dangerous scenes that it had me at the edge of my seat frantically reading through the pages to find out the out come. There were many unexpected twists that I did not see coming at all that made me face plant. Let's just say that I should have saw that coming. Sarah Alderson really delivered a winner here guys. 

 Alex. Really where do I begin? Where can I go buy one just like him? Alex was everything that I want in a man; loyal, loving, brave, extremely attractive.... Look I could name sooo many wonderful things about him but I think you get the picture here. Alex was once again going far and beyond to keep Lila  out of harms way. Though for that same reason, issues occurred between the pair, Lila willing to do anything to rescue her family and Alex torn trying to protect her and do the right thing at the same time was very interesting to see. There was however plenty of hot scenes to make up for that. The steam those two were giving off.... as you can see Lila is still on her mission to seduce Alex.

I could gush all day about this book, there is just a million reason why I loved it so much. Whether it be from the whimsical Suki or the itty bitty crush I have on Jack (not gonna lie its pretty huge) Losing Lila is an enthralling read and I thank Sarah Alderson for creating such fascinating and sexy world.
