Review: Second in a series, but a stand alone book
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 2, 2013
The second in the Secrets and Sins series. I liked this book a lot. The opening scene had my heart jack hammering, the author's descriptions of Danielle's fear was spot on perfect. The writing is tight, the editing well done. Danielle is a victim of abuse and neglect from her childhood and marriage. But she is NOT a wimpy heroine. She struggles to overcome her fears and reclaim her life.Malachim is patient and kind, and going through his own personal kind of hell trying to hang on to everything he has worked for.I won't spoil the book with the suspense and twists and turns, but just like Gabriel's story, I was a bit shocked at the end (in a good, scary, OMG I didn't see that coming way).I wish there were 1/2 stars. If so, this would be a 4 1/2 star rating. The only reason this book didn't get 5 stars like the first book in the series... I wanted more of Malachim's story. I want to know where things progress with his relationship with his family. I also don't think the cover represented the way I pictured him to look. As a matter of fact, it looks like the same guy on Gabriel's book.However, I can't wait for the rest of the series. I'm truly anxious to read Rafe and Chay's stories. Next year is too long to wait!
