Good series to start for a quick read.
I was worried this book was over hyped and once I finally read it I was pleased, I found that it was a very slow start and it didn't really pick up and grab me by the seat of my pants until I was almost finished with the book. I loved it and ended up binging the second book once it was released and plan to do it again if there ends up being a third part. I ended up really enjoying her writing style as the characters began to develop.

Ok so this is the third book in the exodus end series. I have read all of the sinners and exodus end books and have absolutely loved every single one. Although I found this book to be a little long, it is one of my favourite stories (plus the more time I get to read about exodus end and sinners the better). Steve and Roux take you on a beautiful, emotional and sexy ride of twists and turns and love and laughter, and personally I couldn’t get enough of their amazing story.
Absolutely loved this book and can’t wait for Dares story!

I like goodreads, sometimes I forget to update it as often as I should (that's on me) I take it to the library with me so I dont accidentally check-out the 13th book in a series. I also have the app open when I go book shopping since I have a big TBR list i try to find books discounted.

What an amazing book! Dark,clever and thrilling! My favourite read of 2020
I read this book not realising that it was part of a series but I felt like if you didn't want to read the books in order than you don't have to.

The story lines are different but same characters are used.

The chapters are short, but captivating

This book was an amazing read and I can't wait to read more of Cavanaghs books as he is now my favourite author.

I recommend if you love a good, dark thriller

I had intended to read this book on a Florida beach vacation, which was canceled due to the pandemic. It made me miss the beach, with its lush descriptions of the South Carolina Low Country. Harper finds solace in the beach and a dolphin friend (yes, you read that right). The book is silly and cheesy, and exactly what I would have wanted to read while on my trip. I especially liked Carson and will eventually pick up the next in the series (each book is told from the perspective of a different sister). 3+ stars.

The Lord of the Rings was my favorite book series growing up. I compare all of the books that I read to Lord of the Rings. J.R.R. Tolkien spent so much time and effort on these books, that is it is easy to see just how incredible they are. The Two Towers does a very effective job of picking up where the first book leaves off. I love the story as we follow Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli in their adventures across Middle Earth. Tolkien does a fantastic job of building the tension and heightening this book.
