Review
Stone of Destiny, the second book in the Danaan Trilogy by Laura Howard, begins right where The Forgotten Ones left off. Definitely read these books in order, or else you'll have no idea what's happening. 
Although the storyline didn't progress that much, I loved how Allison and Ethan's relationship expanded. 
Stone of Destiny showed us a bit deeper into all of the characters' back stories, so that was nice. 
All in all, Stone of Destiny was a great read and an awesome follow up book that'll leave you wanting more!

Recommended for: Ages 13+
Rating: 3.5 Stars

Laura Howard lives in New Hampshire with her husband and four children. Her obsession with books began at the age of 6 when she got her first library card. Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High and other girly novels were routinely devoured in single sittings. Books took a backseat to diapers when she had her first child. It wasn’t until the release of a little novel called Twilight, 8 years later, that she rediscovered her love of fiction. Soon after, her own characters began to make themselves known. The Forgotten Ones is her first published novel.

After her best friend orchestrates the lie that destroys her reputation, Taylor wants more than anything to disappear from her life. But when an accident turns this unspoken wish into reality, instead of an angel-filled afterlife, Taylor must climb a seemingly endless staircase into the sky.

Instead of going up, the journey plunges her into the past. As she unravels the mystery behind her friend’s betrayal, she must face the truth about life and find the strength to forgive the unforgivable -- unless the staircase breaks her first.
