bmacc 's review for:

A Monsoon Rising by Thea Guanzon
5.0
adventurous dark emotional reflective tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was not prepared for this one to hit me so hard!  While I did enjoy the first book, (enough to pre-order the fancy second one!), I really feel like Thea Guanzon found her stride with this one.  It feels richer and more fleshed out.

You always expect a book 2 to end on a cliffhanger, with lots of loose ends.  Book 3 will be the epic finish to bring it all together.

It's not the cliffhanger getting me... it's the emotions and thoughts that I KNOW the characters will have because of the cliffhanger.  They will NOT be ok, so I am NOT ok!
