Review: AND IT CONTINUES
Rating: 4 out of 5

I found this continuing saga to be an interesting read, although not as good as the first and second books in the series. I suppose the first, Desert Places, smacked me in the face with all the sadism, blood and gore, which isn't my cup of tea, but it was so well written, with believable characters, that I had to finish it. The second, Locked Doors, was absent most of the gore, but the antagonist carries on with his sadistic agenda and it was also well written. I enjoyed it more than Desert Places.This, the third book in the series, was a little slow for me, with fewer characters interacting and fewer developments. It's as if the author ran out of steam. Nevertheless, I found it to be interesting enough that I finished it as quickly as the first two. I've had the fourth (and probably final) book, Stirred, for a few weeks but I'm going to have to take a breather and read a few books by other authors. It's not that I have a weak stomach for violence; there's violence everywhere and it usually occurs in one way or another in a good majority of the books I read. It's just that I need to read something different before giving myself the final dose of this series.I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story, especially if you can sympathize with a man who has been deeply wronged and forced to hide to stay alive, being hunted by one of the very same men who caused his predicament. However, this novel will appear to be less than what it is if you don't read Desert Places and Locked Doors first, in that order. It won't make much sense to you as a stand alone story.
