Freddy and Jim’s fight was very well written. It had me hold my breath for a minute. I love how it the story switch back and forth through viewpoint, sometimes leaving her hanging. It keeps it interesting. Sally’s finally discovered the truth of her nightmare and it wasn’t quite was I was expecting. Holland wasn’t why I was expecting.

Bedwell finally explaining some things about the 7 Blessing and her father’s death. And how Holland must have learned the information she using to blackmail Shelby with.

Still very interesting. The mystery just keeps growing. What is Sally remembering? What does Bedwell know but can’t remember? What was it that Bedwell needed to tell Sally? How did Holland discover all she knows? What does Shelby have to do with Sally’s father’s death and why is Holland blackmailing him? Is Adelaide safe with them?

Glad I went back a read the 1st book, first. It brings a lot into perspective. It explains how she meant 2 of the main character in the 2nd book.

The book had an excellent opening which hooked me from the first page. Although its cliffhanger aren’t quite to the level of Frank Peretti. I was able to put the book down before starting chapter 3. But I am still intrigued.
