MY REVIEW -
It’s Charles Sheehan-Miles, I expect
nothing less.
I was not
disappointed, I ended up with my heart hanging out of my chest, my pulse rate
seemed not to return to normal, and I was awed with all the secrets that was
shoved into me in one sitting. YES, EXACTLY. I finished this book – like all
others Thompson Sisters Series in one sitting. Because it is what he does to
me: he makes me sit down in one corner, one hand on my ereader, and the other
one nail biting.
I always
wanted to know more about Andrea Thompson – who grew up with her grandmother in
Spain rather than with her sisters. Why was she there with her abuelita? Why doesn’t
she want to go home? All her life, she
is confused, not knowing if her parents or her sisters wanted her or not.
One phone
call from her sister, Carrie pleading her for help, she immediately went to the
United States to offer her help. No second guessing, she jumped into a plane to
help Rachel, Carrie’s newborn daughter. They wanted to know if she was a
possible match for a bone marrow transplant.
But what
she didn’t expect was the fact that coming to the US will cause a series of
chain events that will start to uncover a whole lot of secret that will get not
just her, but the rest of her family in danger.
IT WAS ONE HECK OF A CHASE.
I loved
seeing the older Thompson sisters, and the rest of the former characters back
in print. I miss all of them. But I was not ready for the danger they were in
as well as the secrets that they will uncover that can potentially hurt them
not just physically but emotionally as well. I feel bad for Alexandra and Dylan
– they were growing apart. I hoped Dylan will wake up and stop whatever his
doing before he loses the love of his life for good.
Here, we
also get a glimpse of the relationship between Adelina and Richard. Adelina
might have been a bad mother – but there is more to her than we have given her
credit for. Here, we learn of her past… Despite her many shortcomings &
mistakes – in the end, you will, just like I did love Adelina Thompson
unexpectedly – not because she’s the most lovable among all the characters in
this book, but because among all of them she needs it the most. Amidst all the
turmoil, the dangers her daughters are in – Adelina Thompson begins to be a
real mom.
I was
expecting for another love story – but I was not rewarded with it. Instead,
Charles Sheehan-Miles surprises me with something different. A story so
profound, I could still feel my heartbeat racing, my head still whirling from
numerous surprising twists and turns, not to mention my haw is still on the
floor from all the secrets that are being FINALLY REVEALED.
You will
never know who’s the enemy is, whom to trust, and sometimes even what’s
happening. You have to grab on to your seats as Charles Sheehan-Miles and the
rest of the Thompson Clan takes you in for the ride of your life. If this is
how the trilogy starts – I’ll be looking forward for the rest of it.
