This is the sequel to [b:Enlightened|7765763|Enlightened (Little Boy Lost, #1)|J.P. Barnaby|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1299114088s/7765763.jpg|10643362] and continues the story of Brian, who has lost Jamie and now facing his small town knowing he is gay.
Unfortunately there are those who decide to 'punish' Brian with tragic consequences. The story follows Brian as he deals with physical recovery, fights to keep his foster parents and continues to deal with his sorrow at not knowing what has happened to Jamie.
There are some small bright lights in Brian's otherwise bleak life,
Once again, lots of heartbreak and there is no happy ending but the series continues.......

I felt physically ill reading this. Not because it's poorly written, but for the exact opposite reason.
All through the book, I wanted nothing more than to hold Brian, to protect him, and to rail at everything and everyone that he'd got against him.
What kills me more is knowing that while this is fiction, it could so very easily have been someone's true life story.

I started the second book of the Little Boy Lost series immediately after I finished the first one. And after finishing this review I will start no. 3 - for sure. I'm addicted. I'm very happy that all six books are already released and I don't have to wait for weeks or months.
I'm in love with the characters of the series. There are all so real and I can easily empathize with them. The first part of this book was hard to read because of the violence and suffering Brian was going through. It was so real and authentic that it hurts to read this.
The second half was easier to read ... but I really could understand the conflict he was in whether to leave Adam and his new family behind for Jamie or not. And somehow I was happy he did and somehow I was sad - like he was.
I read a lot and it doesn't happen very often anymore that I totally immerse myself in another world ... but it happens with this series.

This second book in the Little Boy Lost series is a dark story, with a lot of pain for the narrator Brian. A bit black and white, (and black, and black, and black) in the events it describes, it nonetheless is a fast and highly engrossing story that I had a hard time putting down. The end of this one is a little less of a cliff-hanger than book one. One could plausibly stop here for a bit and take a breath. But you won't want to.
