I very stupidly, accidentally, read this book, totally unaware that it was the second in a series - that'll teach me to download Kindle books without reading the blurb. Anyway, I found this a fast paced and very original thriller with a supernatural twist (not so supernatural to take a turn towards fantastical, either, which would have put me off!) The heroine, Sarah Roberts, is about as strong a female character as you will find - only 22 and quite adept with firearms and hand to hand combat; you can shoot her, kidnap her, try and burn her alive - the girl just keeps on going. A great story - I have just downloaded the first novel in the series within 5 minutes of finishing this one - so I think I might be hooked on Saul's great writing style.

From hero to zero !!! I even remarked in my review of the first book in this series that it was a joy to read since it had hardly any errors..........so what happened ? This one is unreadable !! I've given up at 22% in. "Not many people were loitered" means nothing to my way of thinking and neither does "Jack lie curled up"......just appalling. Then we have int he instead of in the, misuse of apostrophes (especially managing to have parents' then parent's and lastly parents. Last straw was seeing 'torn at the base like Jacks was'......
A real mess. I wonder if he chose to either edit this second story himself or changed editor. Whichever it might be he needs to revert !! I planned on reading this whole set of stories but no longer.

If you have not yet sampled his books, Jonas Saul is the best author you aren't reading. This book is a page turner from start to finish with plenty of twists and turns tht make this a heart pounding read. Sarah Roberts is an unforgettable character - and without giving away any spoilers - a heroine that keeps you glued to your seats. This is a five star thriller with a paranormal edge and a book that leaves you wanting more. Jonas Saul is making his own mark as a stellar author. Read the first few pages and you'll be hooked - the same way I was.

Hooked
I'm hooked on this series. Its just book 2 of the series but I am enjoying Sarah Roberts. She's the type of character I love to see. I ready to devour this series piece by piece. This author is an incredible writer.

I was browsing through my thrillers reading list on my kindle looking for some thing refreshing, exciting and quick to immerse and came across the intriguingly entitled The Warning, which I had downloaded some months earlier by an author called Jonas Saul, who I'd not come across before, but had come recommended via goodreads. How delighted I was to find not only all three criteria immediately taken care of, but also a truly engaging heroine, who has a 'secret power' that is just genius with a personality which beckons the reader to learn more. Her dialogue which is engagingly world-weary, brave and vulnerable all at once and enough of an enigma to proclaim her worthy subject of many more books. Its breathlessly fast paced and I cannot wait to see this made into a tv series as it definitely should be. I realised a third of the way through that this is actually the second in the series so am very much looking forward to going back and reading the first and continuing to follow Sarah's adventures in the sequels. As some reviewers have mentioned it has an appeal to the young adult audience but I think it's sufficiently complex, diverse and thrilling enough to cater to the more mature adult (if I can call myself that!) and definitely not lacking in violence and revenge in pleasing measures.

I went through this book rather quickly. Not because it was that good and I just had to know what happens next but just to be finished, It reads like a one woman Rambo with Sara Roberts jumping out of burning buildings. She's a regular Houdini at repeatedly escaping her captors all with total disregard for her wounded, exhausted body. Quite a feat for a petite 22 year old "Wonder Woman" fighting the bad guys. Local police and FBI are portrayed as inept. Appearing only to clean up the mess Sarah leaves behind as she follows the automatic writing messages her dead sister Vivian sends her. OK got all that?
The author begins introducing major and minor players with rapid fire speed which left me spinning to keep it all straight. But read on I did soon to be rewarded by a slower pace and recap that made more sense. I don't like the "one hero save the world" type of storyline. Even as a work of fiction it lacks believability. No one is that good. Psychic communication always peaks my attention. This however was very low key. Quite disappointing all around.

This is the 2nd book in the series and I'm done. I gave the first book a little higher rating because it was the first in the series and I had hopes things would get better, however, the writing is poor. There are too many inconsistencies. The author writes as if he's writing for an audience with short attention spans. The story line is good and could be very promising, but unfortunately I don't care any more. I don't care about Sarah Roberts or anyone else in the books. I have already purchased the third book but I will cut my loses. I do not recommend this book.

Decent!
Paranormal thriller, Sarah is still getting hurt while trying to find the her sister's killer. Messages her sister sending putting everyone she is close to in danger. Don't like books that doesn't have ending, have to read the next one in the series to find out.
After all that happened, beating, body searching Sarah still has her credit card and iPhone. Even she was forced to destroy her phone days ago.

WOW! What a page-turner! Got into it from the very beginning: great characters, loads of action, and good plot. It's a shame that the identity of the baddie was revealed so quickly though. I haven't read the first book but this one contains all necessary background info so you don't feel at loss. Enjoy!

Overall, really enjoyed this. Great little twists. I just wish I would have known it was a series... that's the thing with free e-books and the Kindle- you don't get to read the synaposis before reading the book. (At least I don't know how if you can). Great book and can't wait to get the third.

The 2nd installment of the Sarah Roberts series. I am hooked! I couldn't put this book down - a fast paced adventure - page turner! I can't wait to read the next one!

I have read the entire Sarah Roberts series from 1 - 19 back to back over the past 4 months and I am anxiously awaiting the release of book 20. Jonas has become my favorite author. My first suggestion is to start with this book - The Warning as books 2 and on feature an adult Sarah and are more action packed. Jonas' writing style is very crisp and the stories move quickly and soon you will wonder how Sarah or other characters could possibly survive to the next book. It can be an emotional roller coaster! A genuine thrill ride from cover to cover. Book 1 introduces Sarah and other characters and sets up the rest of the series. After book 2 or 3 jump back to book 1 (Dark Visions) to see how it all began a few years earlier when Sarah was a teen. My second suggestion is to find Jonas Saul on Facebook. Join his Official Jonas Saul Fan Page and also follow his personal Facebook page. You will quickly find that Jonas is like no other author in that he interacts with his readers and goes Facebook live and he often has giveaways to his adoring fans. You will get Sarah news quicker than anywhere else. You will not only immerse yourself in Jonas Saul's books but you will find yourself posting to the group and interacting with Jonas. There are many other books besides the Sarah series some characters crossover into the Sarah books. Then you have the joy of reading their back stories/series. My final suggestion is that after reading any of Jonas' books - leave a review and tell a friend!

Another amazing book! Definitely a must read!
This series is absolutely a must read, thrilling and captivating. I just started book two yesterday and it’s finished, I’m on to book 3 today. Sarah’s story is captivating making you want to know what happens and if she will succeed. Her sister still guiding her, her close friends still by her side helping. She’s finally found a police officer she trusts, and her parents support her mission. This series is most certainly a must read! You won’t be able to put these books down. You’ll loose a lot time for that reason. Absolutely love Jonas Sauls books, if you’ve never read one this is a perfect series to start with. If you have then you already know what a master story teller he is. Highly recommend this author and this series!

A dead body found in the woods and the one the police suspect was the guy that found her. Provoked by the messages of her dead sister, Sarah Roberts shows up looking for a murderer that got away 20 years ago, and Jack seemed to be connected to it. Boy, this day just wouldn’t end for him.
There were some interesting angles that obviously weren’t revealed right away. Story chips away at these layers, piece by piece, making for some quite compelling reading overall. After a while, however, the storyline kind of lags a bit and you’re not as into it as you started off. But it’s a decent thriller with some good action scenes. I especially liked the cryptic messages Sarah gets from her dead sister.
A fair read.

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this book. The general idea is interesting. The writing is ok. I wasn’t a fan of the ending, finding it too abrupt with a bit of a cliffhanger. Although it was somewhat interesting and mostly entertaining, I have no desire to read anymore in the series. It wasn’t bad, but the ending just seemed too rushed and I wasn’t interested enough to keep reading the series to find out how the next one goes. I feel this would’ve been better as a stand-alone novel with a more distinct and clear ending.

Finally
It's about time a novel is written without the authors perverted personal views being exposed for consumption. This is a candle burner that will keep you up until the wee hours of the morning. And well worth it. Great characters with a superb plot and non stop action. What could be better. Follow this author into whatever type books he wants to pen. I assure you it will not be a disappointing trip.

I like Sarah Roberts
This book is easy to read. I like that. I also like the character Sarah Roberts. She is a little far fetched but it’s a thriller and exciting to read. I’m glad I started with Book One because that helped to understand Book Two and now I am ready to read Book Three. Can’t wait to read what adventures await Sarah next.

Beyond the other side
What a thriller. Sarah and her dead sister communicate through automatic writing. Hard go believe but Sarah help people to live using her dead sister warnings. There is a lot of action and mystery to keep the reader engaged from beginning to end. The open end keeps the mystery going and the reader is thirsty for more.

This is a fine book
The plot moves the reader along swiftly. The protagonist is most interesting, The antagonist is a match for the protagonists.
Adding a supernatural bond between Sarah and her murdered sister adds to the plot.
I hope to read more from this series..

Good book likable characters and suspenseful
I liked the book and the story. Characters were likeable and it kept me interested. I just wish there was less language. For me it takes away from my enjoyment.

Interesting second book in the Sarah Roberts series. The first book was good, but in this story she's more evolved. Loved it.

Read book 1 first!
I waited too long between reading book one and two. I like the premise. It was a good, quick read and I can’t wait to move on to book three.
