Devil's Due

Title: Devil’s Due
Author: Arliss Adams
Date Read: January 2011
Number of Pages: 216
Why did you read it: Was a sequel to a book I read yesterday.
What was it about: Jen Connor has withstood violent rape, a near-fatal illness, the loss of a husband, and the smashing of her dreams. But that was only the beginning. Unappeased, fate has dealt her a new set of challenges. As she rises from the ashes to achieve renown in the theatrical world, she must face what awaits her in Los Angeles: powerful, vindictive former in-laws who are deteremined to fight for custody of Jen’s young son at all costs. What she doesn’t know is that an ancient enemy will surface, firing her desire for retribution. She has an arsenal of formidable friends-a Russian ballet instructor with shadowy contacts, an acid-tongued critic, a new man in her life, and a long-lost sister. Together they stand against Jen’s adversaries, but will they be enough? (From Amazon Product Description)
How did you feel after reading it: Satisfied that Jen finally got her revenge and happy ending. I was both dreading and looking forward to reading this book after finishing the first. The first one had left me feeling so connected the Jen. The second book was less about Jen, it instead followed her sister Judy and what happened to the people who hurt Jen in the past. This made it not as heart wrenching as the first one was but it was still very good. As I said earlier it was satisfying to see Jen get her happy ending. Arliss Adams did not disappoint in this sequel and I will recommend both books to my friends and family.
