My Girls II is, well, in some ways it is a sequel to My Girls I, in some ways it's a variation on the themes and ideas of My Girls I, and in some ways it's almost like a new story altogether. In fact, I would suggest you *could* read MG II without reading MG I, though some confusion would almost certainly ensue.
The story picks up right at the end of MG I, and reintroduces most of the characters in new roles and with differing responsibilities. As the story unfolds, we get more and expanded explanation of who Patrick and his family are, why they behave as they do, and at least *some* of what it all means.
There's also a nice amount of invention with regards to the family, their powers, their limitations, etc, that elevate this above the level of plot that is simply an excuse for the stroke scenes.
Indeed, MG II ends with everything in place for MG III.
In terms of characterisation, unknown1000u2 does a nice job of varying things from some of the wish fulfilment on SOL. Patrick is not at all the superman that others create, Amy is full of typical teenaged insecurities, Cindi is more powerful that anyone realises, even Megan with all her doubting and misgiving is a cut above the norm. And wait for the surprise of who Sandor is and why he acts as he does; a very nice little twist.
Technically, it's a well-written work without too many of those errors that make grammarians grind their teeth in frustration, and certainly not enough to intrude into the reading experience. I don't know which word processor unknown1000u2 uses, but whichever one it is, it needs a spanking, the 'awhile' and 'a while' and similar hiccups are too consistently done throughout to be other than accepting a grammar checker's 'corrections'.
As for sex appeal...there's plenty in here for most tastes. There's incest, Mf, ff, and even a little nc though the latter is driving the plot and is not glorified in any way. There's a nice variety of description, and there is little repetition, so much so, in fact, that unknown1000u2 'short cuts' some of the later descriptions due to their redundancy.
All in all, I would happily recommend MG II, with the caveat that you will almost *have* to read MG III, to find out who is really who, why they have the powers they do, and whether Megan, Amy, and Cindi ever get things sorted out with Patrick.
NB: On a personal level, I have read this through twice now, and it sustains repeated reading.
