I was worried that just coming off of the Outlander series, I wouldn't be interested in something new, something less powerful in a story. I figured the escapades of Claire and Jamie Fraser would be too tough of an act to follow. After spending months with an extremely involved series, and then immediately jumping into something new could cause a lack of commitment or enthusiasm for the current text, and I really didn't want that experience. I'm glad I chose this book. I was a massive fan of 6E so I just had an underlying feeling that its sequel wouldn't disappoint either regardless of my previous reading situation/book depression.

The sequel to The Girl in 6E has been sitting on my shelf for months, so I'm thrilled I finally got to it. I was a fan of Torre's Innocence trilogy back in the day, so I'm enjoying a new side of her work.

Deanna is a complex person, but she reminds me of a female Dexter. Twisted emotions, but at her core, a good person. She may have yet to realize that, but in two books now, she has killed, but with more than enough reason. Despite her past, her flaws, and the blinders blocking her from what she's capable of feeling within, she doesn't deserved to be locked in her 900 square foot apartment and shut away from the world. She's treading carefully, but finally letting some walls come down.

Despite the overall ominous and macabre feel, I'm ecstatic that there was her own version of a happy (and sexy might I add) ending to this installment. Enjoy Jeremy, girl! You deserve him... plus, he's a good egg!

Needless to say, I can't wait for book three to come out. I'll be chomping at the bit until November!!
