Second in the Sanctuary Sound Series. The author does a wonderful job transitioning from Book 1 to Book 2 with informing the read of what happened previously. You do not need to read the first book to enjoy this one, but why wouldn’t you?!

This Series follows three bffs from childhood (Steffi, Claire, Peyton) later in their lives. This book is Claire’s time to find love. Living with an crippling injury from a traumatic shooting, has left Claire and her family with PTSD. She shuts herself off from others and the outside world, until her old crush, Logan, comes back to her town to help his sister, Peyton who is dealing with a health crisis. Claire and Peyton have their own issues that need to be resolved.

Ms. Beck did a great job showing how one persons horrific event alters those around her. When our loved one suffers, we all suffer and try to overcompensate for them. PTSD is crippling and debilitating and the author does a wonderful job shedding light on this situation.

Ms. Beck gives us a teaser of the third book, which will focus Peyton. I look forward to reading this one (although I must admit I was hoping for a different love interest), but I can’t wait to see where it will go.

Thanks to Ms. Beck, Montlake Romance and NetGalley for this ARC. Opinion is my own.
