Trill by Lorelei Bell is the second book in the Sabrina Strong Series. Sabrina has settled into her job for Tremayne Towers, but nothing is normal about her life. Vampire Master Bjorn Tremayne remains in isolation until he faces trial, but he's still managed to hinder her budding relationship with Dante. She experiences her first full moon since a werewolf bit her, which has some unusual side effects. The same werewolf whose pack shows up at her house to seek her help in finding him and retrieving the money he stole. When Tremayne's sister-in-law arrives, Sabrina knows this can't be a coincidence and that Tremayne's trusted ally, Nicolas, is somehow involved in Ilona's plans to take over. Sabrina's just starting to understand her role as the sibyl, but the more she learns about Vasyl, the more conflicted she becomes. Meanwhile, she meets the mysterious Bill Gannon, deals with the fact that her best friend is now a vampire, and uncovers a terrifying secret.
Lorelei Bell has a knack for layering several story lines and tying them together in a perfect bow with several of these threads connecting back to the first book. Bell wraps up multiple sub-plots while opening up new ones. The supernatural world expands by exploring more of the magical beings and demons, and journeying to new otherworldly places. Sabrina is still learning about her role as the sibyl and all that it entails. She has a greater destiny than she's ever dreamed of and is still being vied over by vampire masters, werewolves, and a mysterious stranger. While she's navigating her powers, she's also become a stronger heroine who stands up more for herself against the vampires' possessiveness. New characters are introduced with the same seductive charm and wit, the same layered personalities and flipping of stereotypes. The character that stands out most is an incubus that shows up briefly, and has a seductive and appealing personality, but also has a sweet and innocent quality to him. Trill is crazier and more intense than Ascension, with interesting and dangerous characters, a deadly mystery, and a complicated romance.
