I read the first book of this series and loved it and was so excited to see this one. And man I was not disappointed. It picks up where the other one ended and the tragic story of Arena and her brother Gabe continues. It is so thrilling and deep, I could not stop reading it. The struggles, the hell they face daily is intense. And their strength grows as they do. Their journey to find their friends leads them to a place they did not expect and it changed everything once again. War, death, betrayal and the pure fight to survive grab you and hold you prisoner. I love the details as much as the first book and the strong characters made it another joy to read. It has a wonderful smooth flow and keeps your attention. I hated to see it end. J.E. Plemons is such a talented writer and I love how he thinks and how deep his imagination goes. I want more! I recommend this book highly to everyone and I look forward to more of this saga .You will love both books. They are both favorites of mine and ones that stay in your mind and heart long after the last page.

Jay spent his years in Nashville working in the music industry for companies like RCA, Sony, Zomba, and Dreamworks, all of which gave him a bitter taste in his mouth. Aside from working directly with many famous artists, his conclusion of the industry was a tainted cesspool of filth.

He has no claim to fame, nor does he want any.
Jay has been fortunate enough to experience many things in his life, some of which were humbling, others fulfilling, and because of that, he's grown to be patient and content. He's willing to struggle, fail, sacrifice, and fall before he learns to move on from those experiences. He's not afraid to die, but willing to live as long as he's able. Even though he'd like to see his kids grow old, Jay understands that every day is precious, yet uncertain. He lives with the best intentions that everything is going to be okay until it isn't, and when that happens, He's free to just let go.
