Blurb:
After
homelessness and a toxic relationship, Annika Boyko thought the worst
was behind her.
She's
finally found peace with Valarie and a new kind of family with
Valarie’s infant daughter. Helping Valarie through some of her
darkest moments has only brought them closer.
But the past
isn’t done with her yet. When her ex-boyfriend turns up in Canada,
furious that she’s moved on, Annika is pulled into a dangerous
cross-border nightmare that reaches far beyond her alone. As both her
family and Valarie’s are drawn into the chaos, Annika realizes she
isn’t just fighting to protect herself. She’s fighting for the
woman she loves and the fragile family they’ve built together
before it’s torn apart.
My Review:
When Annika’s ex-boyfriend, Gabriel, tracks her down in Canada, his arrival sparks questions that uncover secrets she never knew existed.
A year after fleeing Gabriel to go into hiding, Annika has finally built a safe, happy life with Valarie and her daughter, Annabelle. But if Gabriel forces his way back in, it will tear her new world apart.
As their pasts collide, dangerous secrets come to light. How are their histories tied together, and what happens when their stories finally connect?
After Annika is the gripping sixth installment in R.M. Demeester's After Dusk series. I have absolutely loved diving into this collection so far! Getting to know these characters and watching their paths cross has been incredible.
While I still need to go back and catch up on the books I've missed, I am already eager to see who we meet next in this universe.
The suspense drew me in, and the masterfully paced plot kept me hooked from the very first page without a single dull moment.
I highly recommend checking out the After Dusk series if you are a mystery lover—grab your copies today!
