A review by heyjudy
Master of the Abyss by Cherise Sinclair
4.0
~4.5/5
While I enjoyed the first book in this series, I loved this one.
There’s a Serious element, a violent man on the loose killing women. And that was creepy, and pretty well done, but not what I was reading this for, nor what I remember of the book.
Kallie is tough, and Jake pushes at her. Their romance is sweet and I loved reading it. Jake sees her in new ways, and he pushes her to see herself as well. Jake’s also trying to get over a previous bad experience, and Kallie helps him with that.
The sex, the romance—it was all fantastic, of course. And I will be re-reading the book for those things.
But the main part that stood out to me, and the scene that made me cry, was between Kallie and her cousins. Kallie, orphaned, had been passed around between family members, and with no explanation, led to think that no one wanted her. She had to be careful, or the man and his sons who kept her might throw her out. Jake sees it differently, sees the way the men really care for her. And he makes her see it, as well as showing the guys that she doesn’t. It was so sweet and heartbreaking, and it makes me want to cry just remembering it.
I loved this book. It’s one I will be keeping on my phone and re-reading, and I look forward to reading more.
