Title: Seductive Secrecy (Shadows, #2)
The conclusion to the Shadows series was weak. I thought that when there won't be any of Charlie's whoring it will be a lot better. It wasn't.
Charlie is now officialy in relationship with Cameron, but they are still barriers between them. The case concerning the mansion is still open, her father in hiding and Victoria - the woman who recruited her was missing. Her paintings are selling more than ever. Her future is looking bright.
Everything should be close to perfect. But it is still as far away as before. Her past hunts her and eventually she can't ran away from it anymore.
Cameron's brother Ryder comes back from his backpacking tour in Asia and who would have guessed.. He used to be one of Charlie's "customers". And Cameron doesn't handle it well. At all. He ignores her for couple of weeks and after catching him painting a nude painting of his ex Charlie moves out.
The ending was bittersweet and there were still things that I expected to be FINALLY resolved. For example Charlie's relationship with Emma's family. If Charlie wasn't thinking about sex, masturbating, having sex, wasn't feeling guilty about having sex for money she thought about them. A lot. So one would think that when something appears in the book ALL the fucki*g time it will have some ending. But nooo. Nothing.
I'm so relieved this isn't trilogy I don't think I would have survived that.
