My Review

It’s exactly a year since I read and reviewed If She Wakes, the second book in the series, a year after reading and reviewing the first book, If She Lives. I read it in one day, though I admit I was at home off sick. Again it’s a short book which moves at a fast pace.

In the first book we met Tess after her five year old daughter Lily was killed by a hit-and-run driver Brady Becker. Tess closes down emotionally and risks putting her marriage to Josh in jeopardy.

In the second book, Tess and her sister-in-law Torrie are in a car crash. Before Torrie slipped into coma, she asked Tess and her husband, Josh, to take care of her baby son Levi. Much of the book focuses around Torrie’s sisters, Jessie and Mia, and around a man called Gordon, brother of Tess’s old school friend Amy. It helps if you have read the first two books, but in case you haven’t I won’t give away any spoilers.

In book three, Tess and Josh are having a trial separation and Tess is living with Torrie and Levi, looking after Levi in the daytime while Torrie goes to work. Things are seemingly peaceful for a while until a past threat rears its ugly head and Tess must seek out an enemy and ask for her help. What could possibly go wrong?

A lot it would seem, Tess and her now-ally crossing state lines to escape the danger, while Torrie and Levi have their own itinerary, and Josh just won’t let go.

It’s exciting and fast moving and ties up a lot of loose ends. Except one. Who will take care of Echo the rescue cat? I’m still worried. I need resolution.

Many thanks to @zooloo2008 for inviting me to be part of this blog tour.
