I loved the first book, so jumped when I saw this one was published. The book starts great and ends great, but the middle got kind of dumb.
[SPOILER]
Josh's actions after his wife gets kidnapped are really stupid. They made sense at first, but after he figured out how they were tracking him, he could have stopped being so cagey and reached out for help. At a minimum, he had to know Candy wasn't involved because (1) he didn't tell her anything about it until after the kidnapping, and (2) she was instrumental in stopping the kidnapper's plans.
[END SPOILER]
Once Josh stops being stupid, the book picks up again. The ending is great, although with a bit of a cliffhanger.

humorous mystery
The story sucks the reader in to a surprising and entertaining mystery. Nothing much was mentioned on where and what kind of place the kidnapped victim was kept. Since Maggie was in a high risk pregnancy that was clearly mentioned in the beginning, why was there no mention of it or her comfort during the ordeal. Why did Lionel ask for 5 million dollars, it didn’t seem to fit, perhaps to confuse the hero and hide the villain but it and his running away from the showdown didn’t seem to fit either.

Reader Capturing Story.
The continuation of "The Will" is as fun reading as the original. Great, page turning fun, suspenseful, reading that has a great emphasis on love, family, and friendship. Waiting for the "The Will 3".

I’m not usually a fan of sequels, but this one is great! Highly recommend reading The Will first and don’t miss this follow up!

The Will 2 was an unexpected suspense novel.
After reading The Will I wasn’t sure what the sequel would be like, but it thoroughly surprised me and held my attention. I loved all the characters that were brought into the story and the twists and turns.
I would definitely recommend reading this novel. I’ve found, sometimes, with a sequel that the story doesn’t hold my attention, but this one proved it can be written!
