Safe At Last
A Slow Burn Novel, Book 3
By Maya Banks
Releasing June 23rd 2015
HarperCollins Publishers
The
third book in the beloved #1 bestselling author’s sexy, romantic suspense Slow
Burn series… They say young love doesn’t last, but a girl from the wrong side
of the tracks with unique abilities and the hometown golden boy were determined
to defy the odds.
For
Zack Covington, Anna-Grace-his “Gracie”--was the one. But one night forever
altered the course of their future; when a devastated Gracie disappeared
without a trace, Zack was left to agonize over what happened to the girl he
loved. As the years passed, his desperate efforts to find her uncovered
nothing.
Now
working for Devereaux Security, he stumbles across a painting featuring a
special place only he and Gracie would know. The image is too perfectly
rendered for it to be coincidence. His Gracie must be alive. When he comes face
to face with her, he is shocked-and heartbroken-to discover the wounded shell
of the girl he once knew and still loves. Her psychic gifts are gone, and
worse, she believes he betrayed her all those years ago.
Zack
has enemies, and once his weakness is discovered, Gracie becomes a target for
revenge. He’ll have to save her before he can earn her trust and her love. And
he vows they’ll never be torn apart again.
I was
super excited about getting my hands on the third book in the Slow Burn Series,
and even though it wasn't my favorite book of the series, it was still freaking
awesome!
So you
may remember Zack from the last two slow burn books, he was the one that always
seems to be in the thick of things with the hero… Well now it's his turn to be
the hero, but in this very girl power book, he is not the only one.
Zack
and Anna-Grace, or Gracie as Zack calls her; were inseparable, they had plans
to build a life together, until on night changes everything for Gracie and she
disappears, fearing for her life and feeling betrayed and Zack is left
devastated and left without a purpose. Now Zack is working for Deveraux
Security, but he still feels like a huge part of his life is missing…and her
name is Gracie.
But
after a chance meeting between him and Gracie at an art gallery, now Zack is
even more confused than ever! Why did she leave him? and more importantly why
is she so terrified of him?!
Anna-Grace
lived a night of horror at the hands of Zack’s friends, who were under Zack’s
orders, so she believes. But it was an elaborate set up by people who disliked
Anna-Grace. But while she is struggling with the truth and her feelings for
Zack, her life is suddenly plunged into even more danger and she is not sure she
will get out alive…
To
start with, this book is different from the others as it's more of a girl-power
book, which I have to say is a very nice change. I will be honest that I was a
little freaked out at first with Anna-Grace’s reaction to Zack, also to the
assault storyline. But I honestly don't know how the author could have written
the story without it. I have to admit though, I did thoroughly enjoy Zack’s
brand of punishment.
Now on
to the nuts and bolts of the story, the writing was smooth and it had the right
amount of intrigue, without branching over to the horror side. The characters
were whole, and their back story's not skipped over, but we're well developed.
The story had no holes, so by the end of the book, it made you feel like they
were your friends and you were there with them.
Again, Safe At Last is
a freaking amazing book and kept me gripped to the edge of my seat.
I give it 10 out of 10!
