This one is a little different from the first book as it tries to introduce a crazed stalker but its no mystery and you can figure it out right away. Dont get hung up on the technical stuff regarding the investigation and I'd say its an enjoyable read. I would have liked more of time spent with the two younger kids...they were cute while they were there and the emotional effects on what happen to came were skipped over when it came to anyone but Cam and Shelly. It was nice that this started off as a coming out story but there was no big deal about it...i really do love it when that happens. Anyways...i think ive rambled enough. I enjoyed the first one...and i did enjoy this one too thougg maybe not as much but still enjoyed. Looking forward to the next in the series.
Side note...the stort is so centered around Cam and Shelly in this one thag it can get tiresome. Unlike the first one where Erin and other friends were more involved, this one did not.
I loved Camryn Thomas already from reading OUT but now, I just love her more! Shelly has grown on me too and they are just the cutest!
Now, I don’t like rollercoasters but……..I LOVED THIS ONE!!!! I have been on one hell of an emotional ride with reading Next. I laughed, cried, stopped breathing, my heart didn’t beat, I screamed and I am pretty sure I exhausted every emoji I could use when talking about this book this week on my blog.
Action packed and filled with drama, Next takes you on an amazing adventure through Hollywood and the events of Cam and Michelle’s relationship becoming public.
Then…..there is Jessica! If you have read OUT you will know who she is but if you haven’t it doesn’t matter because you will find out. She is a catalyst and just makes this book a ‘can’t put it down’ book.
I loved seeing Cam develop as a character and seeing her more vulnerable side, whilst seeing Michelle in a natural environment and not protective of her career as an actress! An AMAZING read that I highly recommend.
You will fall in love with Cam (if you haven’t already) and see a side to Shelly that is so different as she becomes comfortable with her life being out and proud!
Am glad I have finished the three books about Cam. Now need to read them again in the right order. Loved the suspense of the trials that Cam and Michelle faced concerning the threat from Jessica. The drama and the joy that this book captured held my attention from start to finish. Am definitely looking forward to reading more of your books.
This is a very well written book 2 in the Cam Thomas story. With a stalker on the loose seemingly targeting Cam's fiancee, Michelle, everyone is shocked when Cam is attacked and nearly dies. With plenty of action and complex characters, this book deserves a place on your must read list.
Another fun Cam and Michelle story! This time the couple has to face an ominous threat as Michelle makes the decision to come out publicly and begins receiving threats. The source of the threats might not be who they think! I enjoyed watching Cam and Michelle's relationship grow and solidify, especially in the face of danger. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do in the next book!
So I did a mini binge. I read this book right after the first one and was not disappointed. The characters just develop even more. The plot continues to flow and evolve. The relationship between Cam and Michelle is the main focus. It almost is it's own character. This book though does have a real villian. Waiting on the third installment. On binge hold.
I think I enjoyed this as much as the first, maybe because I read it after I finished the first one. The thing about a series is that you get more insight into the characters, their flaws and all. I don't know if it is much different than a tv series in approaching how it is written, but I find that I am drawn into the story of a written series more. Just as in real life, things come along to derail your plans. I love the British sayings...they add to Cam's character and the flavor of the book. This feels like a story that can have many chapters as Cam and Michelle go forward in their relationship. It is a good read, that keeps you engaged from beginning to end...with a couple of surprises.
The crazy ex-lover was well written; and frightening. I understood the dynamics of the love growing between the main characters; the truth of the ups and downs. Exciting, very exciting and emotionally raw.
This book was even better than the first!! I love Camryn & Michelle’s love story so much but the Jessica of it all was an intriguing addition to the story line! I didn’t see it coming at all! Well done!
Slightly better than the last one but not a full star better soz, 2.5 max. Predictable storyline with a bit more ~drama~ in this one. Will I still read the third one? Absolutely.
