I loved the Eye of the Storm series and was thrilled to find out that there was going to be a companion series. It gives us a new perspective in to the world that Klass has created. It also gives you a supernatural sort of feel. I have to say that this is probably my favorite book this author has written. Her writing continues to grow stronger with each book and this book explodes with a wonderful and twisted tale. I'm struggling trying to write this review because this book was so good. I'm going to answer a few questions for you though. Do you need to read the Eye of the Storm series to understand this book? No it is helpful towards the end because you will understand the ending properly but it isn't necessary. Did you have trouble sleeping while reading this book? I sure did. There are some elements and events in this book that will make you cringe and make you want to check under your bed. My favorite character was Scarlett. I mean after all it is her story that we are hearing. I feel overly connected to Scarlett because you get to watch her grow up. I mean we start as a child and travel with her until you is a grown woman. It is hard not to fall in love with a character that you watched grow. My heart broke with hers and swelled with hers. It quite a different experience to have this many emotions for one character in the course of one book. I am very protective over her so if you don't like her than don't talk to me. I'm not going to tell you my favorite moment because there is too many spoilers so I'm just going to give a hint. It happens after a birthday party. It is a moment that defines and melds Scarlett and turns her into a strong female lead. It was hard to read but encouraging later. Overall, I love this author and this series. I look forward to hearing more stories of Evan's girls because their voice needs to be heard.

What a wonderful tale about an unlucky in love and life orphan, who you really empathise with. Well written with wonderful characters. It’s a good summer read as it’s easy to read and rolls along at moderate speed until rocketing to its conclusion. Received this complimentary copy through Voracious Readers Only Wonderful ghost story

I loved this book! If you read the Storm Trilogy, about Evan and his family. This book continues the story of the family saga. I love this book! I was gifted it by the author in exchange for an honest review, and I can't wait to buy this book. It answers the questions we readers had, but what about the girls in this tragic saga? Scarlett is the child born from Evan's first rape victim, and this is her story. Given up by her birth mother, and put into foster care, that's just the beginning of her sad, yet triumphant life. This is just the first book in Elle Klass' new series of Evan's Girls, and it's intense, but I can't wait to read more. Check it out for a great read!
