Silver Tears is the second installment in Camilla Läckberg's latest series and the revenge is being served up once again.
Without revealing details that will give away points from the first book, I can say that Silver Tears expands on events we already know of and we learn so much more about protagonist Faye.
Her abusive ex-husband Jack has escaped from prison, which underscores all of the action in present-day. We are also taken into further detail of Faye/Matilda's youth and the basis of her traumas.
As with The Gilded Cage, this is a quick and dirty (yup!) read and I can't wait for the third book.
Recommended!

Synopsis: After ruining her ex-husband financially and framing him for the murder of their daughter, Faye is rich and happy, living part-time in Italy with her daughter and mother hidden away. But her ex-husband escapes from prison at the same time as someone starts buying up shares of her company, threatening her control. She must take drastic action to protect herself.
What I liked:
- It was really quick, and easy to get through
- The message of female empowerment was great
What I didn't like:
- I found it incredibly predictable
- More background on Faye's childhood made her relationship with Jack from the previous book unrealistic
- The characters were all very one-dimensional, with every single woman being an underrated business genius and every man being a misogynist
- Related to that, I got really tired of Faye immediately believing any woman who is not her best friend must be jealous of her
- [Slight spoiler] The ending felt like it was ripped straight from the movie The Other Woman
I really liked the first book in this series, so this was disappointing. It's set up for a third in the series, so maybe I'll give that a shot and see if that's better.
