Instead of celebrating the return of Tal and Roark to the fold, the Exceptionals are instead in mourning. The only one not reacting as expected is James. His secret is about to send everyone into action to perform a miracle they never thought possible.
James' secret will have another, darker impact on their unusual family. It will cause in-fighting and the likes of which they've never seen. Someone doesn't want their newest bit of scientific wonder to work and will do just about anything to stop it.
With everyone focused on doing the impossible, they may fail to see the biggest obstacle to everyone's future
For sometimes the biggest threats come from within.
Hi! I’m Sarah Cass, author, nurse, mom of three, wife, and caretaker of six spoiled rescue cats. I’ve been writing stories for over 20 years, and they tend to get a little spicy, a little emotional, and a little mysterious—just the way I like them.
My published series include: • The Dominion Falls Series – spicy historical western mystery/suspense (10 books & counting!) • Holidays in Lake Point - A sweet small-town standalone romance collection (all set around holidays!) • The Tribe – a shifter-based urban fantasy/paranormal romance • And coming soon: Dark Sky Valley, a contemporary western romance set in the present-day version of Dominion Falls!
When I’m not writing or working as a nurse, you’ll find me crocheting, knitting, watching Friends or Star Trek for the millionth time, or plotting my family's next move—hopefully to Colorado!
Let’s connect—I love chatting with readers and fellow book nerds
Chaos Theory by Sarah Cass and Mary Terrani is the second book in the promising Exceptionals series. I would highly encourage prospective readers to read the first book, Escaping Humanity first, as this picks up right from where that left off, and without the background knowledge from the first book readers will definitely be confused and find it hard to pick up the thread of the story. Once again we are following a large cast of characters, many with mutations that give them powers and abilities. This time the focus of the story is a little closer to home and much of the drama comes from the relationships and interplay between the characters rather than an external threat. We learn more about the back story of Caiman, who was one of my favourites in the previous book, so I did enjoy that. While there are still ties to Native American culture in this book, they are not as prominent as they were in Escaping Humanity which I think is a shame. We do get a new character, and she is one that will shake up the group in several ways, which makes for entertaining reading. Once again I am impressed by how smoothly the writing flows , not always something that is easily accomplished when a book is co-authored. Finally the ending of the book, while satisfying leaves me intrigued and excited to see where the story is headed next.
