The tumultuous Relationships Continues...
More Lies. More Secrets. More Pain. Possible New Relationship. New Friend... When will the three-way tumultuous relationship end? And, Who will be the loser? It's like a clock on the wall with a second hand, it goes around and around and around, and nobody knows when it will stop.
I couldn't stop listening until I got to the end of this book. Now, I have to wait for, "Turn To Dust: Book, 3." Karen Lynn, definitely has me on the edge of my seat waiting for it.
I want to give Claire Riley much praise for her narration for Book 1 & Book 2.

A Sea of Smoke
This is a fantastic Series. The Characters go through the gamet of emotions. This would make for a fantastic series on netflix. The Narrator does a fantastic job at making these characters so well. The Author builds this world so well that it has you on the edge of your seat, with this real page turner. The Characters just jump off the pages. This is definitely more than a 5 star read. I definitely recommend. I was given this read.

Great book
(Spoiler alert) I really enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator does an awesome job. The author did a great job on the story and characters. This book grabs onto your emotions especially since my sister is going through nearly the same thing. I love Jake and really feel for him and throughout the book I truly wished he would be able to get away from Kristen. She’s definitely not mentally stable and plays the victim. She speaks of this bond with Logan but in reality it’s just control from Logan trapping her in. She blames Jake for so many things that he’s not doing, like being controlling or unfaithful or near abuse when she should be thankful for him and his intense love. I mean she really pushes him to the edge and lucky he hasn’t moved on from her crazy ways and lies. I’m not a fan of her and I think she’s horrible for Jake. She lies, cheats and is so mean to him and even abusive and controlling for him. I loved her friend but now I’m starting to think she is aiming to break them up. She definitely has issues from her past and is putting things in Kristens head that’s not true about Jake and sometimes it’s best to leave friends out of your business. Logan is a complete mental case and If Kristen hasn’t saw this by now then maybe there is no hope for her. Maybe Jake should take the baby and protect him from both Logan and Kristen. Im looking forward to seeing what happens in the next book!! I highly recommend listening to this book. (I received this audible book as an ARC and am leaving a voluntary honest review)

Where to start
The story definitely progresses quite a bit in this installment. I can't say I like Kristen. She is not a character I empathize with. She is selfish, needy and very unlikable. I feel for Jake who deserves better. This book definitely gets under your skin. I feel all the emotions. Anger is the most dominant. I just can't imagine being anything like Kris even though I know there are plenty of people like her. I have a hard time feeling sorry for Kristen who keeps going back to her abusive, rapist husband. and then Jake can't take anymore and almost loses it and now she's all scared of him? I guess this life style is relatable to some. I'm glad Logan is put away for a while because he is seeming to get away with murder. But damn Kristen needs to pay for all this crap she is instigating. I want to give this 1 star because I hate this character so much but the book is well written. Now with the narrator. Please Please Please!! The word "dull" is not dual!!!! and the word "lull" is not lual!! She mispronounces dual atleast 3x and many other words. Not even hard words. It's frustrating. But the book is read clearly and she did a good job with being expressive. When there is yelling or crying she reads it as so. But please, please give the book a once over before you record and highlight these words so you get them right. It's very distracting.

Dark & Twisted!
A Sea Of Smoke by Karen Lynn is the 2nd part in this dark suspensful story. There is so much turmoil as Kristen is torn between Jake and Logan. With her baby about to be born she is not sure what to do, who is safe, where to go?? Such a great storyline and well written characters!
