Wicked Embrace by Olivia Boothe

Wicked Embrace by Olivia Boothe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I did make a bit of a mistake with this one, although it is book number 2 in Chronicles of a Dancing Heart, I hadn't actually realised that it was a continuation of a previous book. For the first chapter or so I felt as though I was missing something somewhere, as the story seemed to start mid-way through or in the middle. I soon found out that I was missing the first part of the story. It didn't really matter though, I soon got into the story and the characters and although it would have been nice to have read book 1 first, I still enjoyed this one.
Tom and Sara were both interesting characters with lots of back story and past. Much of that past comes back to be dealt with in this book. There's also a 'new' threat for them to deal with. I liked them as a couple and seeing them together. I did get a little bit annoyed by their unwillingness to talk and sort things out, many of the problems that they face could have been easily dealt with by just talking a bit more. Tom, in particular, was quite closed off at times and I think in Sara's shoes I would have been ready to shake him. I think that is part and parcel of this being a longer story and a continuation of the first book.
Overall this was a good read. I would rather have read book one first, but I still enjoyed this second one coming into it halfway through as it were.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
