Deep heart wrenching truths revealed by Caitlin leave
you nothing but respect for her raw honesty and will. And as you immerse with the characters once
more you realize the depth is beyond calculation, leaving their story stamped
on your soul.
The second book of the nightmares trilogy keeps you intrigued,
as well as the first book, and the suspense still churns with renewed quests. This story was a reveal from Caitlin's truths
and again I couldn't put it down. As in
real life, we all have versions of a story that another does not, and Caitlin
had things to say that Nathan could never have imagined, keeping you rooted to
the characters and feeling all their emotions, running the gambit from love to
devastation. All of the feelings and
passions kept tingling at a rapid pace, ensuring your heart was glued to the
words that were both soft and glaring on page after page.
Caitlin's experience was nothing short of shocking. Yet her spirit made your admiration of her so
strong that reading each page was like a privilege; one you were thankful she
allowed. You realize as she does, that
one person was pivotal for her. One
person kept the light on in the dark recesses of her mind as well as the depths
of doom she was living; one person who really doesn't understand just how much
he did. He thinks he didn't do enough.
Demelza's gift for writing is again wonderfully evident
in this book. She again directs a story
with a straight purpose, letting the characters weave you through the scenes
keeping you rooted to them and begging for more of the same. You feel connected to them in so many ways,
even if you've never lived what they have.
You feel. That's the key to her
success. She writes so you feel all they
are feeling and that's how it marches into your mind and makes a home, refusing
to leave even after the story is done.
Throughout this book as well as the first, I wanted
answers to questions from the very beginning.
With the story being told by the lead now, some very significant answers
are revealed, but not all of them. If is
apparent we will need at least one more book to settle the score. And with how I perceive Caitlin and Nathan
now, settle is just the right word.
As in real life, you realize these two are just not connecting in plain English sometimes. That ugly word assume is forefront and center, as they each think they know something they don't. Communication is the downfall of many a relationship, and even after all they have gone through, and relied on each other for, talking plainly is not their forte. No, hiding and skirting to what they think is helping the other is their preference, and really, when you understand why you love them even more.
This story and the characters are developed with a depth
and expanse that keeps you wondering and reveling in their spunk and perseverance,
capturing your attention with no diversion possible. The journey and characters are so emotionally
charged it leaves a mark on your soul; one you don't want erased or eased
because it now has significance to your character; your heart, mind and soul.
I know my take on this story may seem crazy as I gush in awe, but I loved it. I think it's great, wonderful, very written well, and you simply must read it. Bet you can't put it down either.
