This one has ties from The DaVinci Code via that the girls are now hunted by an Opus-Dei like faction of the Catholic Church.  I have to say that this one really did redeem The Precious Ones aka The Blessed. Passionaries does NOT suffer from second book itis.  It is a great second installment in this trilogy!  And a Deff. Must Read!
