I have been waiting for this book since reading the first book in the Careless Whisper series Denial and I am happy to say that I was not disappointed.Β Please keep in mind this is a true series so you will need to read Denial before starting Demand.
We start off exactly where we left off with Ella and Kayden, the book takes off running and doesnβt slow down.Β We are still on Ellaβs journey to find out who she is and who Kayden is to her and is what we think what is real.Β Told completely from Ellaβs POV you find out bits and pieces of her history as she does and what she chooses to share with Kayden.Β Kayden is sexy as ever and as the reader, I truly believe he is there for Ella, and as the mystery unravels she really starts to believe it as well.Β The story is fast paced with some familiar cameos from Lisa Renee Jones other seriesβ which is fantastic.Β Itβs hard to believe that all of this transpires in such a short amount of time.
Lisa Renee Jones has always done a fabulous job weaving suspense, romance and characters in her stories and this series doesnβt disappoint.Β There are a lot of characters to keep track of but I think itβs helpful that the story is told from a single POV so as Ella learns about the people around her you the reader do as well.Β To me, that helps ease the confusion.Β The story is well thought out and is character driven.
I really donβt want to say much more β this is a hard review to write without spoiling the story.Β If you are a fan of this author this series is a must read and Demand is a perfect second book.Β Now I have to wait patiently for the next chapter.
