Author's Where the Moths Hide is the sequel to The Year of Fallen Stars, a historical time travel romance. It is book two of three in a series. It features gangs, themes that allude to potential SA, and drug addiction.
I found this second book too much introspective. I was expecting a more adventurous sequel to the first book and in that respect I was disappointed. Also, I found very hard to empathize with the hero and I do think Eva would be much better off with Elias. Nonetheless, it is an interesting story and I look forward to the last chapter.
Eva had been hurt bad. She was cared for at a farm. Elias came and she went with him to study moths. Ann Elizabeth Briars is a fantastic author. She tells of traveling to the past.
