Say No More by Karen Rose

Say No More (Sacramento, #2)

by Karen Rose

**The brand new novel from Karen Rose**

Perfect for fans of James Patterson and Karin Slaughter, this is the second gripping instalment of the Sacramento series from Sunday Times bestseller Karen Rose. An explosive crime thriller, Say No More will keep you gripped until the final page.

If they ever catch you, say nothing. Admit nothing. Never tell.

Mercy Callahan never thought she'd be able to talk about her past. When she arrives in Sacramento to make peace with her brother Gideon, and to help find the brutal cult that took away her childhood, she is finally ready to talk. But when Ephraim Burton - the man who made her life a living hell - follows her there, she realises she might never be safe.

Rafe Sokolov would do anything to have Mercy back in his life and would go to any length to protect her. But when it becomes apparent that Ephraim is more determined than ever to get Mercy back, even Rafe might not be able to stop the trail of destruction he leaves in his wake. As Ephraim draws near, it's clear it's not just Mercy who is in danger; those closest to her are firmly in his sights.

Will Mercy sacrifice herself to help bring Ephraim down?
Or will he finally get what he's always wanted...

Say No More will blow your mind! Mercy escaped a cult as a child, but even now, years later, she is danger. The cult aspect of the story makes everything even creepier in my opinion because it was just so horrid. The prologue starts with Mercy's escape and the whole thing left me shook. (see trigger warnings if you have any)

Mercy has a chance to confront her past thanks to her brother and his best friend, Rafe. Together Mercy and Rafe attempt to locate Ephraim, the man who "married" twelve year old Mercy and from whom she escaped. I loved that Mercy wanted to face her past. I can't say that if I was in her shoes I would do the same. That takes a supreme amount of courage and strength. Rafe was a great hero for her as well. Both characters were endearing and I enjoyed their romance.

Now, her is my only real issue with the story. Sweet baby Jesus its long. SO LONG. I love Rose's writing and its very detailed and the plot is intricate, but be prepared to invest a lot of time into the book.

Fans of shows like Criminal Minds or pretty much anything on Investigation Discovery will love Say No More! Karen Rose is a master of romantic suspense and you can't go wrong with any of her books! Also, I listened to the audio for about half of my read and its fantastic! If you are an audio fan, Say No More has a wonderful narrator and I highly recommend it.
