ABOUT THE AUTHOR -
My name's Rachel McLean and I write thrillers that make you think.

What does that mean?

In short, I want my stories to make your pulse race and your brain tick.

Do you often get through a thriller at breakneck pace but are left with little sense of what the book was really about? Do you sometimes read literary fiction but just wish something would damn well happen?

My books aim to fill that gap.

MY THOUGHTS -
LOVED!!! Wow I loved this one so much more than the first one (Thicker than Water - review HERE). I guess I just really connected with it more. I read it in one day and 81% (gotta love e-books) in one sitting! And I couldn't wait to get back to it at night and finish it.

I absolutely loved Sarah! Loved her! I thought the author's portrayal of her was excellent! I also loved... Martin - I know, I know! He was one of the "bad guys" but not really. I always have a thing for bad guys anyway. Oh my gosh he was just so darn lovable! I don't want to give anything more away - you will just have to read it.

The only characters I really hated were Sarah's parents - both of them - really hated! Again, the author did a great job here. Her dad was a controlling, abusive creep and her mom was a doormat, but a sneaky doormat and I hated her just as much.

Great edge-of-your-seat writing. Lots of action. Lots of angst. Maybe one of my favorite books of the year... we'll see.

This is a sequel to Thicker that Water. It says could be a stand-alone, but not really in my opinion. I think if you don't read the first you would be lost.

Definitely looking forward to reading more from this author.
