Edge Of Fear by Freya Barker
4.0
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Sophia has had to start over and she’s trying to make it work. Tse is a man who needs to get over himself. They both seem to need someone in their lives that will give them what they require.
This author seems to know her readers very well. She starts her story off with a mystery that will keep us well entertained and having no problem turning the page. Something else she does is to keep us on tenterhooks wondering if Sophia and Tse are ever going to make it. There’s so much realism in this story.
Personal issues seem to plague both main characters. For Tse, he even uses some of it as a teachable moment. It’s nice to see that he seems to relate to one of the secondary characters – a mentor of sorts. But I got the impression that the secondary character came to mean more to Tse as the story progressed. Most times if I’m going to be sorry about a character it tends to be one of the main characters. In this instance it was the secondary character – it made the heart hurt. Just shows how well developed the characters in this book are.
At times, our main characters seemed more like oil and water. It was a great way to keep me entertained. Plus, there were times where it seemed like they would take two steps forward and one step back. It was frustrating but in a good way. There’s also a sense of family that runs through the story – a nice feeling. If you want to get invested in a series, the right type of hooks must be placed into the story. This author knows her stuff and gets it right every time. That includes giving me a happy ending that feels like there’s more to come.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
