Silencing Breath, book two in the Stealing Breath
series.
Just as Sarah Ross is learning everything she can
about her new abilities as an Indigo Child and settling into a normal life with
her beloved Evan, her entire world shatters when Evan disappears without a
trace.
Desperate to find him, Sarah’s search leads her
to a sadistic serial killer who confirms her worst fears are true; Evan has
been kidnapped, and he is once again in the clutches of his abusive family of
necromancers.
Sarah uncovers not only Evan's dark past he tried
so desperately to protect her from, but also The Key of Solomon, an ancient
text for summoning the dead.
Knowing her abilities are limited in the face of
this ancient power, Sarah is forced to face the Malandanti in order to save
him. However, one question remains: once he is found, will Evan be the same man
she fell in love with?
My take...
Only problem I seemed to find was I still don't
understand what and Indigo Child is. That was my problem in the first book. I
didn't feel it was explained enough for us readers. Is it just that she can
read others feelings and dive into their minds? Because that still isn’t enough
of an explanation for me. I thought we'd have more answers but in the end I
felt there was more questions instead.
Okay I lied, the Indigo Child thing wasn’t my
only problem. The other problem was Sarah. I hated that she was so strong
willed at times she gave hardly no thought to the lives of her friends. She was so focused on getting Evan back that she put everyone's lives at risk and people
got killed. I understand she loves him and wants to get him back safe and
sound, but the others, I felt, were being used.
Ok, now for something I starting to like in the story. Stefano. I know, crazy right? Dude was all kinds of crazy in the last book and
now I am starting to like him. Don't go getting the straight jacket fitted for me just yet. I
still questioned his loyalty. And it is not until the very end that I think I
know where his loyalty lies. Where you may ask? Ha! Like I am going to say and
ruin the story for you. Guess you are just going to have to read and find out.
I did absolutely hate where the author took
Evan...only because I loved him so much in book one. But I know she had to
shake things up a bit or there wouldn't have been much of a story. So kudos to Brothwell for going out of a comfort zone and making this a great book. I look forward to what is to
come with Evan as the series continues.
Just as STEALING BREATH was a page turner, this
one was too. It was a good story that kept my interest the entire time and was
paced well throughout. I adore this series and think the author is
amazing and imaginative And yes…I recommend!
