Omer makes an impact with this series debut, both from its strong narrative perspective as well as well-placed characters.

While I have always come to know Mike Omer as a psychological powerhouse, he’s got some depth and varied nature to his writing. Omer closes the novel with an interesting cliffhanger related to Abby’s past and present, which is sure to make for great development in the coming stories. One can only wonder if this will be an ongoing issue as the series progresses, something that I cannot help but hope is the case. Abby shows that she can juggle work and a home life, but it is her past that really has her tied in knots, something that inadvertently comes to the surface throughout. She has both a strong backstory and convincing development to keep the reader guessing and wanting to know more. With a strong plot and curious backstory, I am intrigued to see where things will head with this piece as the series progresses.Ībby Mullen lays the groundwork for a fabulous series with her debut here. This new series is a little less psychological, but just as captivating and left me wanting to know more about Abby Mullen and those around her.
