As with the first book in this series, Deadly Silence, this story is action packed. There are twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Also, as with the first book, there are some continuity issues that irked me. But I’m easily annoyed when it comes to such things. And honestly, I still enjoyed this book immensely.
The parts of this story that deal with Heath and Anya and Heath’s brothers I really love. There is great romantic/sexual chemistry with Heath and Anya while there is a wonderful familial chemistry with all the brothers and Zara. The parts that deal with the POV from Isobel Madison and Elton Cobb tended to slow the pacing of the story down for me. I even made a note at one point to check back at the end of the story to see if these tidbits were necessary to the overall story because, at the time, I felt like they weren’t. Well, things did kind of circle back around to things that had been happening with them in the end so hang in there and read those parts. It’s not that they were badly written or anything of that nature. They just somehow messed with the flow for me.
Anya did tend to annoy me with her stubbornness, but I could also understand her strong need to do this for her sister. I also had to remind myself that although I know Heath’s secrets, she does not. So where I wanted her to just get over herself and let herself fully trust him, I also know why she couldn’t do that when he as much as admitted he had huge secrets he wouldn’t let her in on. Which leads me to point out that I don’t think you will enjoy this story even a fraction of what I did if you’re trying to read it as a standalone. If you haven’t read Deadly Silence yet, go and read that story first. There are a lot of important things that you really need to know going into this book.
