    About this ebook

    Sequel to Out of Order
    A Survivor's Club Novel

    Corey Nguyen watched her three best friends fall victim to a killer, but it’s becoming clear her ordeal won’t end there. While trying to be a college student, have some kind of social life, and just be normal again, she learns the murderer is demanding a trial. He claims he’s innocent and was forced into confessing—which means Corey will have to testify to what she saw.

    The idea of facing the killer in court worsens Corey’s anxiety and forces her to relive the horrifying events of that night. And just when she thinks things can’t get worse, she realizes her mother and the prosecuting attorney are probably more than friends. All Corey wants is to put the tragedy behind her, but it’s clear the end is not yet in sight.

      For some reason I missed the fact that this book is a sequel - but have to say that it stands pretty well on its own. There was enough retelling during the court case for me to understand the basic facts. However, I don't think that was the point of the story as much as the focus on Corey dealing with what happened, her fears, and the way she ultimately overcomes the obstacles and begins to recover from the trauma. Her inner battle had me spellbound!

      If you're looking for an intense emotional experience, if you enjoy coming f age novels and want to watch a young woman grow up before your eyes, and if you're looking for a read that's a successful mix between external tension and learning to deal with your own fear, you will probably like this novel.
