Pearl
RELEASE DAY BLITZ
February 27, 2015
When Caitlyn Davis
agreed to work with the FBI, she never imagined it
emotions
and decipher the truth has attracted the unwanted attention of
Santiago Gomez, a
rich casino owner who intends to use Caity’s talent
to further his own
business.
Eric Shore knew
Caity didn't want to break up with him; her scribbled
note left on his
bed gave him a snippet of the truth she'd been hiding.
Still reeling from
his brush with death and the loss of his beloved
grandfather, Eric
throws himself into searching for his girl.
With help from his
reemerged father and a rogue FBI agent, Eric follows
a tenuous lead to
Las Vegas, not caring that his rescue attempt could
bring him
face-to-face with the same man who killed his grandfather and
wants him dead as
well.
While Caity fights
to survive the horrors of her slavery, Eric is thrust into
a dangerous world
that could cost him his life, along with Caity's.
Review
5 out of 5 stars
I am extremely sad to see this series come to an end but I
think that Melissa Pearl did an excellent job. This book was packed with
sadness, love, and hate. It was emotional because as you know for those of you
who read Snake Eyes, Caity was sold. This book became scary and unpredictable
fast.
Caity is sold to Santiago Mendez and while she is with him
we don’t know what can happen to her. She is in a world where no one wants to
be and it was hard to accept that poor unselfish Caity had to go through so much
pain and fear. This was a really intense book not just for Caity but for the
other people who care about her.
I fell in love with Agent Rhodes in this book. For sure I
would of chosen him if Eric wasn’t in the picture. I could definitely feel his
emotion at the thought of Caity being sold. The way he would speak about her
and get that look when he though of her was so endearing. I love Agent Rhodes so Melissa *hint hint* I
would definitely read a book about him!
Let’s get into Eric a little bit because he was just
completely heartbroken when he heard about Caity quite possibly being sold. He
hurt so much for her that it hurt me too. He just couldn’t stand the though of
her being hurt or worse. He knows that she has her sight but what he doesn’t
know is that others know about it to so it is not that helpful but at least it
is keeping her alive.
I wont go into the details much because I think you readers
should experience those emotions for yourself. Just be prepared because there
is abuse and it is sad to see that this stuff still goes on in the world. The
world is full of people being sold and sex trafficked. I am taking a Women
Studies Class (Women who work in the sex industry) and it pains me to say this
but a lot of women are suffering in the world. They are being abused and many
people don’t know about it. SO like Melissa, I also want to bring awareness to
that. Melissa you did an awesome job and it is great that with this book you
are bringing much awareness to people out there.

Thank you so much, Tanya. I love your review and I'm so glad you love Agent Rhodes. I had to give him a bigger role in this book, because I totally fell for him in Snake Eyes :)
