Things are finally looking up for Blake. She has a father and brother who adore her and want to keep her safe and happy but trouble is brewing. Mysterious things are going on with her family and friends. Will they be discovered before it’s too late?

Where I was fine with book 1 book 2 was just over the top. I took issue with the fact she’s not really doing therapy but she’s dating. Everyone brushes off threats which is what causes so many problems. It just all felt like how much drama can we add in no matter how fantastical it is. One more in the series but I am just done.

Blake has never known a bit of good. When she thinks things are about to turn around bad things happen. She thought she was finally getting her life together when she was assaulted. The men who kidnapped her were able to use their influence to get her committed and it wasn’t until her long-lost father found her that things start looking up. He rescues her and brings her home. Is her bad fortunes finally turning around?

This one was a hard one to read. Blake has a horrible life. She thinks she’s got her life turned around and bam more bad things happen. The description in the book doesn’t do it justice. This is a book with a lot of sensitivity needed and it’s handled ok. There are times it’s a little too Pollyanna for me, but it was a good enough read to try the next one…particularly since it ended on a cliffhanger ending.
