Obsession and Sacrifice (The Alaskan Heart Saga, #2)

by Tiffany Carmouche

[Lindsey Gray]

This novel picks up right where "The Impostor" leaves off. Bradley and Dylan are left in limbo while Nicole lies in a coma. Even with her unconscious, the Impostor is still making his nefarious plans. When Nicole wakes up with no memory, she is at Dylan and Bradley's mercy.

While the narrative goes back and forth between several characters, the reader is given a glimpse of the complete story. You feel the love and anguish between Nicole, Dylan, and Bradley throughout, but you also get a sense of their fear. Carmouche even gets into the mind of the sadistic serial killer.

As the story develops, Carmouche goes off in directions I never expected. Once again, I was trying to direct the characters out loud while I read, but Carmouche got them right to where they needed to be. The plot becomes even more elaborate than the first novel. Nothing happens as you might expect, but it is exactly how it needs to be.

There is so much happening as Nicole is recovering, Dylan and Bradley are fighting their feelings for Nicole, and the Imposter is plotting his next move. I don't want to give anything away, but the climax of the novel will have your heart pounding while the characters are racing to survive. I'm anxious for the release of "Becoming Invisible" to find out what wild ride Carmouche will take our characters on next.

A big thanks to Tiffany Carmouche for letting me be part of her tour and providing me with a copy of "Obsession and Sacrifice" in exchange for an honest review.
