I received an advance
review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you Mark
Zvonkovic and iRead Book Tours. I'm excited to be a part of
this tour.
I
enjoyed the first book in this series, A Lion in the Grass and am thankful for
the opportunity to read the second book of the series. This book is equally good,
and I liked that this time the focus is extracting members from a cult. One member
being Larry Brown’s (the main character) cousin. The author provides a coming-of-age
story told with the wisdom only first a wave boomer could relate.
While
the book starts off a little slowly, it quickly builds into a very interesting
story. I was engaged from start to finish and enjoyed being taken back to the
1970s in America. The descriptions again are vivid and took me there. This book
accurately captures youth set on achieving something different in life. The
characters in the book are well developed with a depth that adds to the story.
The complexity of the topic is well represented and had me wondering what
lengths I would go to for a family member.
I recommend this series and am anxiously awaiting book 3!
