Although I haven't read the first book, Complicit, in the series I was drawn into this story from page one! The New Mexico setting is easily visualized in the story. Each chapter is from the viewpoint of characters Kate or Tilly. This gives more depth to the plot. When I put this book down, I kept wondering about the characters and what would happen next. I would love to have my own adobe hacienda like the one Kate has in the book! If you like psychological thriller novels, this one won't disappoint! The writing and plot will keep you turning page after page. I definitely will go read book one, and can't wait for book three!

 I enjoyed this suspenseful story.  This is a new author for me which I look forward to seeing what is next in the future for them.  This is a well written story that has twists and turns that you don’t want to miss.  They had me sitting on the edge of my seat and turning pages fast.  A fast paced story where one girl's determination means danger and could mean death.  I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into the story from the beginning.  There is great growth with them as well as the plot.  It made the story easy and entertaining to read.  A hard to put down story that I highly recommend.

Such an intense story and it had a hold on me from the very beginning. I didn’t realize this was a series so I didn’t read the first book, but I will be ASAP. I loved this book and the characters are lovable and the plot is just as good! Both of the main characters have been through some difficult times in their lives but that didn’t stop them! I went into this book blind and I think you should too! I always say going in blind is the best way to start a book, keeps it interesting and more surprising! I will be reading book 1..because I loved the thrill, drama and suspense of this book! I need more!

 In this follow up to Complicit (which, in full disclosure, I have not yet read), Kate and Tilly are even more determined to do right for their communities. Tilly has found a new position as a SANE nurse and she and Jim have found a new place to live. Kate is working on a her fortress to house girls who are needing a place to escape the evilness they are being lured into.

This book is very fast paced, edge-of-your-seat kinda read. Just what I enjoy!! There are questions yet to be answered and I can't wait to read more of this story! I look forward to finding out answers to some of these burning questions in my mind and I will also be reading the first book to get more context for this one. I don't feel that it's necessary to grasp this story....this is a great stand-alone if needed. I'm just curious as to how some things came together.

Is your stumble and fall going to lead you to great places???
