Second book in the series, but you don’t need to read the first book to understand this one at all. The author left the ending where it could be possible for more to come (fingers crossed) but, this could also easily be an end to the Andrea Oliver story as well. I like the alternating of going from current day to the past. I was really trying to solve it it sooner than I did. But, the story kept me on my toes with enough “twist” to keep you guessing the solution.

Cons: Too many layers of stories running in parallel, but past and present. Also, too many hearts of darkness to chase.

Pros: I like that the sequel chose Andrea as the protagonist. Her mother was great in the first book. I love strong women, so I liked that the writer spread that out between the generations.

Not a fan. Too many unimportant details. The story was confusing to follow - maybe it would have helped to read the first book? Also, most of the characters are unlikable.

It felt like pulling teeth to get through this book. Emily's character felt as though her whole story was being a woman in a mans world. Andrea seemed like a whiny girl who had no idea which way was up. I think Bible was okay even thought he pretended to know everything. Lastly, fuck that doctor scene! I had to fast forward because FUCK THAT.
