Wow

This book totally had me on the edge of my seat rooting for Evie to survive, dispite all that was against her.
If you like me felt there where a lot of unanswered questions in the first one regarding Evie and her horrific past ...well the answers are here.
A really good 2nd part to this series .

Excellent story

I suggest before you read this you read the first book as you need to have the back story to fully understand this book. The author has taken a very difficult storyline and has brought it to life through Evie and Cyrus. I will not say more as plenty of reviewers have said a lot about the story but I hope this is not the end of Cyrus and Evie. Please write a sequel Michael!

Absolutely Brilliant

Both the first and second book in this series have been fantastic. Kept me guessing to the end without some farcical ended. Can’t wait for the 3rd book …
