My Next Breath

You can never go wrong with a Shannon McKenna book, ever! I am such a huge fan.

This is the second installment of the Obsidian files and I am loving this book and this series. WOW! She can write and I love the paranormal edge.

This book is Zade's book and he is determined to find his brother, Luke, by whatever means necessary and if necessary that includes seducing the buttoned up Simone Brightman who has developed some of the equipment used to program their brains.

Simone is having her own hard time and she's not sure exactly what it is, but she has an idea and it's not good. She is afraid she is heading down the road in her mother's tracks, and going to die of the same awful disease. She has sequestered herself in her condo to work and hasn't come out for anything, which has made making contact with her very difficult for Zade.

But tonight she's out with a group of kids and Zade is going to take his opportunity. He has to get to Luke.

What he finds out is Simone might be in as big a trouble as Luke if not more in the immediate and sets out to help her. He'll find Luke, who he hopes is still alive, but he needs Simone alive to help..

I love the twists and turns that McKenna puts in her books, they are never boring. The characters are always full of personality, whether they're good or bad, and the plot always thickens.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Shannon Mckenna’s latest work does not disappoint. She once again offers pulse-pounding action, sinister villains and heart-tugging characters.

This book is the second in her new series, focusing on escapees from a prison-like genetic modification center known as the “Midlands.” Zade is the focus in this book, a man consumed by his quest to find his missing brother. He will find Luke at any cost--even if it means going head-to-head with Obsidian--the nefarious group seeking to continue their work with brain implants and other gene alteration. Getting close to Simone Brightman is the first step in Zade’s plan to get to Luke.

This Simone is not the same refined, demure fiancee we saw in Right Through Me. Simone, now single and a bitter about her latest failed engagement, is much changed. Feeling suffocated by her step-father, Simone leaves the office behind, preferring to work from home. The last thing she expects on a rare evening out, is to be attacked--and then rescued by the mysterious Zade. Will she take a chance and trust a stranger?

This book is stunning follow-up from Right Through Me and leaves the reader wanting more. A compelling read, recommended to anyone who enjoys a complex characters, grisly villains and tons of action.
