Sara Wolf has left me hanging again and this time the angst is higher. Her cliffhangers are killers. Gosh poor Jack will he survive this or will guilt eat at him. Will he and Sophie get their HEA? Dang it she leaves you with one finger on the cliff looking down saying AAAAHHH!!This books was delicious. Milk chocolately delicious. Something not often said when the book is one that is more about the anticipation of finding someone and getting them than anything else. Jack has found Isis. Jack cares for Isis maybe even loves her but she can't remember. This is where this book picks up where the last book ends. Jack is trying hard to forget Isis. Meantime Sophie his childhood love who he is feeling guilty about and who is not all that nice becomes Isis's friend. Why? I think to get close that keep the enemies close idea. She doesn't love Jack the way she used to but also doesn't want anyone to have Jack. She drives a wedge between them which is hard since Isis can't remember Jack.As Isis gains back her memories and feelings, she does things to figure Jack out. This can hurt him but also her. We know Isis is in danger not from Jack but from her past. The past that has made her this cold shell that jokes from insecurity and thinking that no one can like her because she is fat and ugly. Jack likes her though. Jack may even love her. As she finds out more about him she also finds out less. Jack is the one that kept her mother going when she was in the hospital. Jack is the one that is doing unspeakable things to get money for Sophie's surgery to keep her alive. Jack is the one she cares for but doesn't want to admit it.Her guilt about caring for Jack while Sophie is in the picture overwhelms her. Sophie takes advantage of this let me tell you. As the secrets pile up and are revealed and the danger becomes more intense, Jack and Isis finally see each other and have it out. Jack thinking he finally is going to have happiness, has to think twice for Sophie may ruin this as well.there are some things that are hard to fathom-where is Jack's mom as he is a escort? Why is sophie the way she is? What makes them all tick? Not sure but as Jack gets his happiness and his guilt may be assuaged, Sophie brings him back into the black abyss...A book that will leave you hanging on that cliff hoping beyond hope that Jack isn't broken for good and that Isis can save him.
