This is book 3 in the series [I believe there will be book 4.5,6 and 7]I am always a bit reserved when it comes to series that have so many book attached to them.My reason is this:I usually enjoy book 1. If I don't, then I try book 2, if that is still......um ah, no, then I leave the rest.Sometimes authors give what they readers want, OK, I am OK with that, except, can the author deliver it as good and as interesting and as awe inspiringly captivating as previous books in that series. A lot can get weaker with POV series. I have a 'thing' about these, sorry, but its my humble preference.Can I just say, THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS SERIES.I was captive with book #1, I was eagerly reading book #2, breathing heavy by the time I got to book #3.Tori is the CAPTIVE, I felt myself as the reader being the victim of an awe inspiring, emotional, angst, strong character, rollercoaster ride of emotions.THIS BOOK IS JUST AS STRONG AS BOOK 1 EVER WAS, and book 2.We now see Tori's life settling a bit. She can now safely leave the 'safe house' and start a new life for herself. Is it going to be easy though.Henry [who we met in book 1 who was kind to her and had advice for her, leaving her with a key to something she didn't know what was at the end of it], Henry's brother now comes into the picture who promised Henry before his death, that he would keep Tori safe.They find the box that the key belongs to, and hence the journey begins.Tori never ceases to amaze me, she is one strong cookie. Yes she has her weaknesses as we all do, but with what she has gone through could have broken her. Yes it did, but not right through, it left cracks in her character, it left scars on her physically and emotionally. Getting through it all has been a remarkable experience for her and for me!This author has a great way of telling this story, I don't know how she came up with this, but its an awesome read.If you've not bought book 1 and 2, do so, you need to read the previous books before reading this one. They are NOT stand alone.My hat goes off to this author, I just wish I had read these before.
