Another amazing tale about the post – apocalyptic world keeps you hooked to see what happens next..
There’s so much I want to say but can’t without giving out spoilers.. So I’ll just say enjoy another amazing piece of work by the talented Willow Cross!

I really loved this continuation of Ocean's of Red Volume One. Without saying any spoilers, all I can tell you is that there is a lot suspense, action, and adventure being had by Remy and her sister, Shane. They are definitely on the right track, in my opinion, and I can't wait to see what happens in Ocean's of Red Volume 3. This is definitely a series so you must read Volume one to understand what's going on. It's a good thing you can get it for FREE on all major sites ;) I recommend this series to all that like a little twist on the whole Zombie apocalypse scene :)

The Review
Here we are again following the exploits of Remy Martin and her siblings, In this volume we find ourselves spending more time with Daelen, the druid, I love him, I hope he is in book 3, he made me laugh at times, I love the way Willow writes, she made me think I was actually there, watching it with my own eyes, she weaves the characters into your life, so you feel for them, I would love to know what an AssHat is too Willow? I would highly recommend this book, especially if you read the first one, as the story just continues on from where we were left in the first, an awesome book, now I understand why it’s called Ocean’s of Red, great title 5/5

Demon Evolution
Oceans of Red Volume Two

Remy's saga continues as the siblings uncover a sinister plot to not only possess the human race, but to replace them entirely. Will she accept her destiny and learn to control the new-found power within her?

Having fallen in love with Volume One, I was quick to jump in and read the next instalment in the Oceans of Red novella series. Remy meets with Daelen, a druid, and realises she has more power than she ever knew, problem is to truly access it she must cut all emotional ties, including those with the family.

Together, Remy, Shane and Greg start running the operation when their dad leaves. They soon realise that things are far worse than they could have ever imagined when they stumble across baby demons. Will they need humans for much longer?

Fast paced and well written, this series will leave you wanting more and to learn where the future lies for Remy, Shane and Greg.

Now I have to patiently wait for Volume Three to be released.

Oceans of Red Volume Two
By Willow Cross

Remy is the one that is to hold the Druid’s fire and save the world according to the Druid that has tried to befriend her. Once convinced Remy has to change and accept who she is it is inevitable and can’t be stopped. Once the change is upon her can she continue to trust the Druid, Daelen. What hideous monsters will she encounter? Willow Cross has taken the Oceans of Red series forward into this second book. Oceans of Red Volume two moves our heroine in to more confrontations with the Demons and we learn more about what they really are. This story not only appeals to my desire for an action adventure but gives me a lot of things to ponder. I found myself wondering what choice would I make if in Remy’s character. Definitely a book I recommend reading. I also look forward to seeing it come to life in web series.

The adventure continues with Remy, Shane and Greg in this second book of Ms. Cross. Remy has decided to go with Daelen, a Druid and see exactly what he wants from her. He transfers his thoughts to her and puts her into a deep sleep to fight off previous sins and sorrows she has experienced in her past. It didn’t work the way it was suppose to. She manages to break free and goes back to where her family is. She has a new power that she decides she is going to use. They go to a place to see if they can control the demons and stumble upon something they thought they would never see. Is Remy willing to accept this gift she has and give up her family to save them? I’m truly looking forward to the sequel to this story.

[Two Nerds With Words · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oceans of Red Volume Two by Willow Cross is an exciting follow on from the amazing volume one. Volume two is filled with fast-paced action and a lovely level of character development of the characters that we have begun to know and love from volume one, Remy,Greg and Shane.

We also get to know a little more about Remy's destiny which is imaginatively created and developed by Willow Cross. I, as always, enjoyed Willow Cross's writing style, especially her characterisation of her key players. She really manages to give her characters true and believable voices.

Volume two sets us up perfectly for the next installment. I can not wait to continue to discover how this series unfolds.

This was a gift from Willow Cross, so thank you Willow for the chance to read and review!!!
I loved this....I was impressed with how it turned out. I am glad we got alittle more of Daelen! He is so Mysterious it makes me want to know more about him. By the end of the book I was wanting more, I have so many questions running through my head lol but I like that. When an author leaves you with questions they know we will want the next one...I hope Remey will let her Druid side help her, let her imbrace her power. Remy is a kick ass chick, and I cant wait to see what she is up aginst next. I recomend this series to everyone!!! So go get your copy..

I absolutely loved this book! It had action, drama, and of course Remy! Who can't love her!! The things she had to go through with her mother is enough to crack anyone but, not out girl! It's just a action packed book from beginning to end!
I love the chaos in this world!!! I really enjoyed how the Druid part came into play and of course who doesn't love demons! I'm very excited to see what happens next in book number three.

If you want a different kind of supernatural book then you must read this series!!!
BRAVO

I was given this book by author for an honest review.

[K.B. Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had already read Oceans of Red volume 1, and was hooked on the story of Remy, Shane, and Greg. But in all honesty, now I am DYING to red Oceans of Red volume 3!! I love how much detail the author gives us in a short story, Most times you're only given the pertinent information. Willow Cross writes YOU into the book. You feel like you are standing right next to the characters as they embark on this epic journey. A weaver of words is Willow Cross' title in my book!! 5 starts without question!

[Davis Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved Volume 1 of this series, but I have to say, I think I love Volume 2 even more. Remy and her siblings journey continues with even more action, thrill, and twists. If you think they kicked butt in the first one, you haven't seen nothing yet. I recommend the series to all action lovers. You can currently get Volume 1 free on most sites. I can't wait until Volume 3 comes out so I can find out what happens next!

[Nanette Bradford · Rating 4 out of 5]

so I am hooked even more. the story of remy..her family and friends just keeps getting more intense as they deal with the demons. they've come a Ross the ocean of red and found that these demons somehow found a way to no longer need their hosts. what will happen next? I need volume 3 to find out.

[Jennifer Treviño · Rating 5 out of 5]

Once again...BRAVO, Willow!! Can't wait to see what's to come! I'm Loving Remy more & more! All of the characters are great, but Remy...her attitude & drive is addicting! I can't wait to see her kick some demon booty!! ;•) Looking forward to Pt. 3!!!

I'm really becoming a fan of this series. The story line is really interesting and creative. But it is really the characters that make this series so good.

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great book by Willow Cross. If yr a fan of Buffy, yr going to love Remy, Oceans of Reds main character. I can't wait for the third one to be released.

[Heather Alexander · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was given this book in return for an honest review. Part 2 begins with Remy and little sis Shane sneaking out to meet with Daelen, a Druid. He whisks them to his cottage and tells Remy she is the one and must train and learn to use her powers properly.She is "The One", destined to defeat the demons that have taken over so many of the humans. Her powers come from a recessive gene and a bit of scentific interferance. Shane and brother Greg have powers too, Daelen sends Shane home and works with Remi, first she gets the knowledge of the ancients then the Druid sleep, which should make her magic control her emotions and become part of her soul. She fights it because to give in means that her family would not come first in her life. After re-living the deaths of her best friend and her mother, she will not give in all the way and Daelen interferes to save her. After she mistakes his intentions and bolts back home. She spill all the info to her family and they formulate a plan to create more "superhumans". Her father bales and they are in charge now. During a raid with some of the "superhumans" they discover what looks like babies possessed by demons. Remy calls on Daelen, after having blocked all communication with him, and he tells her the worst possible, they are not possessed babies, they are actual demon babies. The demons have come to far, they no longer need the humans and will set about their destruction. After again having to do the unthinkable, she passes out and wakes up in Daelen's cabin to find that her transformation did not work properly, her emotions are controlling her powers and that could meen the end of her and anyone around her. She doesn't know if she can fully trust Daelen, he has his secrets and agendas. But they will need to band together to fight what is coming next, if they can fight it at all.

After having read the first novella in this series, I couldn’t wait to get started on the second one. As with the other books I’ve read by this author, I was not disappointed. The fast-paced action continues where it left-off in the first book, and in this novella Remy discovers more about herself and even more of the shocking truth of the world around her. The reader also gets to meet a new character, Daelin, who is a druid and who helps Remy on the path that was set out for her. Remy not only has to come to terms with her newfound power, but is also faced with new challenges and some hard decisions.

In this follow-up novella to Rise of the Demons (Oceans of Red Volume One), the author, with her superb writing, once again draws the reader into the terrifying midst of a chaotic post-apocalyptic world overrun by demons. She mercilessly keeps you on the edge of your seat with truckloads of unrelenting suspense and new discoveries. I was really creeped out by the discovery of the baby demons and can’t wait to find out how this will play out in the third volume of this series. As it is only fifty-eight pages in length, I devoured this novella in less than an hour and am eagerly anticipating the release of Oceans of Red Volume 3. I’m dying of curiosity to see what the future holds for Remy, her siblings, and the human race.

MY REVIEW
I was gifted this e-book on smashwords in exchange for my own honest opinion and review.
So, the cover, hmm it's okay and it fits in that I think the woman on the front is representing Remy as part of the army fighting the Demons. Do I love the cover? No, I think it could be better, and represent the book much better.
The book? I loved. It picked straight back up and drew you immediately back into the action.
So now we know that Daelen is a druid and wishes to defeat the demons. Remy goes to meet Daelen, as he requested she do in her dreams. Daelen immediately spirits her away to "train" however things don't seem to go to plan.... For the training to work remy would have to cut all ties with everyone around which would include Greg and Shane, Can remy do that? Does Remy even want to do it? Also the situation is set to become even more dire as it seems that Demons have found another way to exist, which kind of makes humans surplus to requirements.
Again the book ends of a lovely big cliff hanger obviously making me really want to read the next installment in this series.
So did I enjoy the book? Yes. Would I recommend? Yes. Will I be reading more of this series? Yes. Will I read more by Willow Cross? Yes please!

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Oceans of Red Volume two - Couldn't be a better continuation and just as intense and full of action as the first one! Being a short, the Author has done an amazing job of bringing to life the LA world as the team of resistance fighters learn to battle the Demons using a new found talent. In a few short pages she has totally immersed me into the life of Remy and her family and I can't wait to see where it goes! I hope the Author writes quickly!

Remy has accepted her Druid calling and with Daelen's guidance performs the Druid sleep to meld her being into one. Of course a twist is inevitable that has Daelen vexed and I can't tell you more as it is too good to spoil for you! Shane and Greg continue with their plans on making a Super Army that they can control and reclaim those humans possessed. But nothing is ever that black and white and soon the team is faced with a true horror that not even the Druid Council could have predicted. Remy is now faced with the ultimate challenge as we await Book 3... I hope I can wait that long!

I received a free copy from the author in exchange of an honest review. Thank you!

I loved this book as much as I loved the first one. The only problem was the length.I felt like this book was even shorter than the first one. I would've loved if it was a little longer, because I really liked this series and I want to read as much as I can from it. You can find everything you want in this series: face paced action, suspense, a little bit of drama and amazing characers. The author obviously knows how to write a book. I was breathless while reading it, because oh my, there is sooooo much suspense in it! I loved it and I can't wait for more!
The situation gets more complicated as you read and you will find yourself hooked in the book. I couldn't put it down, even if I wanted. I also liked that the story continues exactly from where it stopped in the first volume and you don't have to wonder what happened between.

I recommend this series! You will love it!!

My Review:
This is the amazing second book in the Oceans series by Willow, all i can say is that the characters continue to grow and mature. Making the reader continue to fall in love with them, and want to follow through the story-line, leaving the reader delving into the suspense, action and of course all the adventure that comes along with this series. Willow has managed to captivate the reader in to wanting to follow through with the next book. People who love to read about zombies, but want something with that little extra twist, this series is for you and i urge you to go and check it out. Willow is kind enough to have the first book free, go and get it i know you will fall in love with it just as i have, and i know i can't wait to read the next book and what Willow has in store for these characters.

[Mad about · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really enjoy this mini apocalyptic saga from Willow Cross and this installment doesn't disappoint.

The humans position in the War against the red eyed infected is improving with the latest discovery Remy and her siblings have made to acquire the infected's supernatural powers. Not everyone is for this solution as they believe gods work shouldn't be tampered with.
Time is running out and troops are dwindling so time to try out their theory.

Along with the War Remy also has to deal with her own Supernatural headache of finding out about her unique heritage.

Very fulfilling and doesn't feel like it's rushed or crammed.
Remy is so tough and fiercely loyal that you can't help but click with her character. She's endured hardship but rather than giving up she's clung in there.

Volume 3 is going to be amazing!

5/5

[Lori Vargas-Agnew · Rating 4 out of 5]

Remy,Greg and Shane sneak out of the compound to try a new plan to over throw the demons. The plan works at first but the demons know Remy is different they send their best person on the mission to fine out why her body can't be harvested by them. This person is a druid named Daelen and seems to think they have found the chosen one the prophecy told them about. So Remy is schooled to be the chosen one but something goes wrong in the transformation and Remy spooks and runs for home. Only to find her father gone and her brother and sister running the show . The three of them need to hold things together for the people they protect . Can't wait for the next installment to find out if Remy takes her rightful place and chooses to be the leader. Wonder how her brother is going to feel about Remy being the leader and running the show.

[Autumn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Willow Cross does it again! Has me wanting to read more if Remy,Shane, Greg and Daelen. I can not wait to red Oceans of Red Volume 3! The story line that Willow has created is amazing, it flows wonderfully and makes you want to continue reading and you fall in love with the characters. I wonder what is Remy going to do with her new power she has, will it consume her? Will she finally get control? And will she let her mind meld together as one? And where is their father?

How will these kick ass teens/adults save the world and the Ocean of red! I guess I will find out in book 3. If you love paranormal books this series here is one of the series you need to read. If I could give this author more stars than just 5 on her books I surely would.

[Leah Speller · Rating 4 out of 5]

I do believe that these are the fastest books I have ever read. Might have been better to have made it as one complete book. Though I will admit I did not wish to put the book down either.

The characters have only grown more in depth as I continued to read, which for me is important to see as a series continues.

The only negative thing I can truly say is that I am beginning to thing the story is starting to suffer due to the shortness. There is not much time for twists or ability to truly to sink your teeth into what is happening. It is my hope some of this is resolved in the last book and only time will tell.

I can still honest state I am enjoying this world the author has brought us to.
