Story
After I suddenly lose my husband, Patrick, in a senseless shooting, I’m lost in a sea of well-meaning people trying to make the unimaginable seem possible. When a friend of my sister’s connects me to the Wild Widows, I find a group of fellow travelers who understand my new reality in a way no one else in my life ever could. The Wild Widows have one requirement for membership to their group: I must be open to the possibility of a "Chapter Two", which is what they call a second chance at love.

Disappointed
I have always loved this series. Marie’s writing has always been excellent; but for some reason now she feels the need to add more descriptive sex scenes and vulgar language.
I prefer more action and interaction scenes with her family, friends & co-workers. I have imagination enough for Nicks and Sam’s sex life, without the details. And, good grief cut back on some of the vulgar language!
Eva Kaminsky’s narration is good, but I believe there are more male voices than she seems to be able to alter her voice for. It has gotten increasingly difficult to differentiate between characters and sometimes male and female characters. Maybe a male narrator for the male voices would help?.
These are the reasons I gave 3 stars for one of her books, for the first time. I would never say not to read it, because the story itself is good. There is just too much vulgar language & sex; not as much as some, but more than needs to be.

Too much
The story line is sound, but honestly just too much. Too much gushing over one another and too much sex. I would have liked more details on the murders and the Thorns. These story lines seemed weak. At this point our female lead is just mean and frankly selfish.
I am done.
