The steamy roller coaster ride of psychotic David’s obsession with his childhood sweetheart, a skilled mix of fuelled tension, dark humor and pulsating sex scenes.

With the help of her gutsy friends, fun-loving city girl Tara Warr is the only victim to survive David Howard’s death list. Whilst lounging in prison the hypnotic sexual tour de force enlists an eager recruit, seduces a prison warden and relocates to the sunnier climes of Mexico, a freedom short-lived when his charred remains are found in the fire of a plastic surgeon’s clinic. The police cease their search, finally, Tara and her friends can relax, David is dead.

Laughter soon turns to fear when he communicates via Tara’s laptop that he is very much alive, knows their every move and is ready to finish what he started. He is among them, but who? He has a brand new face.

Tara has had enough, time to turn the tables and make him suffer.  A woman unafraid of death is a dangerous thing. Has David finally met his match?

MY REVIEW

Though I enjoyed the 1st book in the trilogy, I found this one disjointed and far fetched. It was unbelievable to me that one of the characters was hiding a secret that wasn’t even hinted at in the 1st book and it seemed to me that it was thrown in at the last minute. Also, it seemed odd that another character (who I cannot mention as a spoiler) toward the end was suddenly connected with others.  Yet another last-minute effort to win over the reader.

I also couldn’t connect with the main characters anymore. They all seemed so naive and unlikable. Especially, Tara. I wanted to like this 2nd book in the series, but it wasn’t for me.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
