Away from the Dark (The Light, #2)


Review : Away from the Dark - Book #2 The Light Series - Aleatha Romig - October 2016

Away from the Dark is a book I have been waiting to read for a while now, especially as I enjoyed Book #1 and then it had to go and end on a cliffhanger and it left readers gasping going OMG he's been involved all this time. At the end of Book #1 readers discovered that Stella's boyfriend Dylan - the detective was involved somehow in the cult - The Light , we just didn't know exactly how.  Book #2 has Sarah back in the cult and we read as she has stopped her birth control pills and slowly her memories of the past are starting to seep through - memories of what they call "the Dark" - the time before you were in the Light.  Sarah remembers her real name - that she wasn't always Sarah Adams but Stella Montgomery and how she came to arrive at the compound. I have to admit , I was a little disappointed in Book #2 as was hoping for more of a Mindy connection as that is what got Stella involved mainly in the light to try and find out what happened to her best friend. We also learn that Jacob Adams isn't who he says he is either which was the other major cliffhanger from Book #1. We learn that for the past couple of years,  Jacob has been deep undercover in trying to bring Father Gabriel to his knees and the cult to it's ruin. What will happen when Jacob's goal finally starts to blur and he realises he cares more about Sarah aka Stella than the mission and discovers he really has fallen in love with his fake wife.  When Sarah/Stella discovers the truth , will she forgive Jacob and stay to help him expose once and for all The Light or will she take this opportunity to move into the Witness Protection Programme and be free of everything Light related.  I am hoping that with the semi cliffhanger of Book #2 that we readers will recieve a book #3 as I would love to see Stella reunited with her family and possibly more on the Mindy storyline.
 If you love Cult Fiction and Secret Societies, then check out Book #2 in the Light series "Away from the Dark".

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
