Broken Silence

by Natasha Preston
Rating: 4/5

After following Oakley's tragic story in Silence, we're brought to face many obstacles in this book. First of all the trial and then her ever looming "relationship" with Cole. And of course thrown into the mix is her emotional healing and trying to move on as best she can. All the encounters with Cole were...frustrating. It was written perfectly as far as fixing their friendship goes, but seriously? I was about to combust a couple of times while being in Cole's head. Cold shower anyone?

Anyway, this book's not quite as compelling as the first but it's still exciting to read about how everything turns out for them and is the perfect companion novel. I found the big picture things predictable but the details were great so it didn't matter. I loved how she continued changing who told the story and kept everything at a fast pace.

Ms. Preston really managed to wrap things up well with Broken Silence. I don't know what else to say. Just read it!
