Wild Beauty

So excited for the continuation of this series! After the first book in this series I was hooked, especially when it involved one character’s story ending and another’s starting. This book focuses on Addison, who was kidnapped and tortured in the previous book in order to lure her sister out. Thankfully, the serial killer is killed by their other sister, but months after everything happened and it seems that life is starting to get back to normal, a copycat killer strikes again. Trying to get back into the swing of things and get back to her career, Addison finds out about the copycat after having a moment during her photoshoot but was able to calm down thanks to Killian. The sparks instantly fly between these two, but they keep it professional, until more girls that look like Addison end up dead in the same manner she was tortured. As the FBI works to find out who’s behind the killings and if it’s related to Addison or the serial killer, Addison and Killian give into their feelings and chemistry and things happen hard and fast for them. I loved how this book had me continually guessing on not only who the killer’s identity was but also their motives, and I was definitely surprised by the ending! I can’t wait for the next book in this series and I love that Audrey also gives us updates of sorts on the others as well.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

And another winner! I really hope all the sisters get their book as I’m now emotionally invested (haha but seriously). I loved Addy and of course her alpha hottie photog Killian. I cried and laughed and felt like I might vomit from the suspense twisting my guts at some points (I know TMI but I was into it that much). Loved the ending and can’t wait to read the next.

All the stars!!! A beautifully written romantic suspense novel that will keep you turning the pages late into the night!!

Book two in Audrey Carlan's "Soul Sisters" series follows plus-sized model Addy, one of the Kerrighan House foster sisters, in the wake of the tragic events from book one. The whole of Kerrighan House is hurting and healing in the aftermath of the loss of a sister and the brief captivity and torture of sisters Addy and Simone at the hands of the “Backseat Strangler.” In this book, while Addy is recovering both physically and mentally, there's evidence of a copycat killer on the loose and after her, even if he has to go through her loved ones to get her. Even with all of this turmoil and suspense, the who, what's next, how's and where's Carlan brings us hope, showing her readers that sometimes you can't wait for the perfect moment to fall in love and settle down; sometimes love finds you. Addy beats the odds and finds love in her war-torn battlefield photographer turned model photographer. Luckily, he fits right in!

I'd recommend this book to all romantic suspense fans, and seriously, if you haven't read an Audrey Carlan book yet - what are you waiting for? This woman knows how to write and write well - so well that I feel wholly invested every time I'm swallowed up into one of her stories, without fail. The characters, the settings, the atmosphere, all of it together, makes you FEEL all of the feels, oohs, and ahhs alike! Read this. Read it for the love, the mystery, Brutus, the plant watering, Jonah’s brotherly protection, and of course, the SISTERHOOD! By the way, don't forget to check out book one, “Wild Child” - I loved Simone’s story and the intro to Kerrighan House just as much!!
