This book is an action-packed crime novel

The relationship between Grace and her sister Stella is really the story of so much more than just two sisters. The sisters have a good relationship but it all changes when Grace catches her then fiancé Ben in the shower with Stella.

Over a hundred miles away Natalie Borden discovers that her father had another family, and she has a sister. Natalie wants to meet her sister Grace who is recovering from the loss of her sister Stella and is also raising her niece Emma who she adopted. Natilie secretly decides to follow her sister and to her horror she discovers that someone else is stalking her sister and her family. It turns out that the father of her niece is an Ecuadorian drug lord whose enemies have kidnapped Emma and Natalie steps in to rescue her.

The story is full of intrigue, lies, and murder which is a very fast-moving book with deeply complicated relationship between sisters. Thanks to NetGalley and to the publishers of this book for giving me a free advance copy of the book to preview and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Interesting book- I didn't realize it was part of a series, but that explains why it didn't all make sense. I enjoyed it, and wished I would have read the first book before this one. I appreciate the chance to read an ARC.

Thank you to Net Galley and Black Rose Writing for the copy of this e-arc for my honest review.

This is a sequel, part of the sisters forever series. I wish I read the first book before this, but it is not necessary and this could be read as a stand-alone. I enjoyed the mystery vibes and the eerie feeling that Grace keeps seeing her sister. Does she have a stalker or is it something more sinister? Give this a try. 4 stars

This book, like the first book, also blew me away. It takes place three years after the book ended. Grace and Justin are married and raising Emma Grace as their adopted daughter. Miss Scarlett is her ever protective guardian. Emma Grace is not your typical three year old. She seems like she will be one of those gifted children. Her artwork is especially thorough in detail.

Emma Grace is surrounded by her loving family including her cousin Lesroy. Love him. Grace is still dealing with Stella murder and the aftermath. Now she seems to have a stalker. Or two? Plus, she keeps seeing Stella (?) or someone that looks remarkably like her. Who that person is and how she's related to Grace is a fantastic storyline in itself. Is it too much to ask for a third book? Asking for a friend.

I received an ARC from NetGalley but I loved this book so much I bought an ebook from Amazon when it was on sale. This review is voluntary and honest. I highly recommend both book. I was able to read them back to back and I highly recommend both of them.
