Encore to an Empty Room by Kevin Emerson

4.0

Standing ovation for Kevin Emerson! I think I'm officially a groupie of this series. I loved Exile, and was anxiously awaiting Encore to an Empty Room, and was sucked back in from the first page. In this second book, which avoids the sophomore slump a trilogy can sometimes fall into, the mystery discovered in the first book takes the headliner role while the romance and band trying to get a recording deal are the opening acts, with the dilemmas a high school senior faces in trying to figure out college and what path she wants her life to take and how to make her mark becomes the roadie connecting it all and doing the heavy lifting to make it work. And at the sound board controlling the volume and tone of it all is Kevin Emerson with beautiful turn of a phrase writing and plotting moving it forward at a brisk pace. If you read Exile and enjoyed it, don't miss this next part of Summer's and Dangerheart's story, and if you haven't read Exile yet, what are you waiting for?
