'Stop Me' is the second book in the Last Stand trilogy. This book focuses on Jasmine Stratford and her year long search for her missing sister. The search leads her to Romain Fornier, who has his own demons. The story moves along at a good pace and the two main characters have good chemistry. The twist at the end is hard to predict.
Another great thriller. It was a really good page turner and kept me interested and guessing the whole time. I thought the characters were great and I am glad this is a trilogy (sort of), I cant wait to read the other two!
Excellent! I had no idea who the bad guy was until the very end. I could not have been more surprised.
