Necessary Evil of Nathan Miller Nightmares Trilogy Book 2 edition by Demelza Carlton Romance eBooks

I’m not completely sure why I chose this book to read. It is outside my normal genres, and it is the second book of a series. Nonetheless, I bought it and read it. Read on to find out my thoughts!

Synopsis (from the author): Evil should never be necessary. Except when it is.

"And now in breaking news, Caitlin Lockyer has been found. In the early hours of this morning, a man discovered her body dumped on a south-west beach. A police spokesperson would not confirm whether the girl known as the Absent Angel is alive or dead..."
Caitlin wakes in hospital, her damaged body telling a brutal story of torture, kidnap and rape that she will never forget. Her only lifeline is Nathan, the mysterious man who saved her life and promised to protect her. But Nathan is a broken man, hounded by his own demons and secrets he can't bear to tell.
Burning for retribution, Caitlin will stop at nothing to get her life back. Can she trust Nathan to help her - or will his past destroy them both?

What I liked: As I mentioned above, this is the second book of the series, and I haven’t read the first. This story comes from Caitlin’s point of view and is a chilling account of her abduction, torture, and rape. This is not a book for the faint of heart or younger audiences. The characters are memorable, and flawed, and Caitlin is filled with an understandable desire for revenge. She also demonstrates a remarkable resilience. Nathan was, perhaps, the most flawed of the characters, and his devotion to Caitlin was touching.

What I didn’t like: There was some repetition in Caitlin’s attachment to Nathan and her desire for him not to leave her. It also wasn’t particularly clear to me exactly why Caitlin had been abducted and tortured, so there are a few gaps in my understanding. To be fair, if I had read the first book prior to this one, those gaps could be smaller.

Overall impression: Demelza Carlton has created a series that deals with a brutal abduction with all that goes along with such an event. The overall experience was like watching the proverbial train wreck: as disturbing as it is, you can’t look away. Despite the gritty, troubling, and horrific events detailed in the novel, I wanted to keep reading to see how the story unfolded. I will go back, read the first book of the series, and then read the final book after that, so I have the full picture!

My rating: 4.5 Stars (rounded to 5 Stars)

Necessary Evil of Nathan Miller Nightmares Trilogy Book 2 edition by Demelza Carlton Romance eBooks Reviews

An intense and sometimes brutal thriller, NECESSARY EVIL OF NATHAN MILLER, by Demelza Carlton, is a much darker story than I usually read, but it was so gripping that I simply couldn't put it down.The opening chapters were somewhat confusing because Caitlin, the narrator and main character, is herself confused, drifting in and out of consciousness following her rescue from terrorists who kidnapped and tortured her. Desperately traumatized, she cannot, at first, keep nightmares, memories, and reality separated. While this is disorienting, the narrative is done so well that the reader is pulled immediately into the middle of Caitlin's nightmare. (The middle in more ways than one, as this is the second book in a trilogy. It is a stand-alone novel, though, and except for an ending that strongly hints at the story continuing, it has a satisfying arc by itself.)

I rated NECESSARY EVIL 5 stars because, though crime/spy thriller is not a genre I particularly enjoy, this novel is so well written that I got deeply caught up in the story in spite of myself. But be forewarned Ms Carlton does not shrink away from the brutal truths of Caitlin's trauma, and the details of abuse are very disturbing, as they are meant to be. This is a highly effective, dramatic thriller that deals not just with evil, but with the guilt, anger, and bitterly destructive emotions and widening web of horror that evil acts engender. It is also about the anguish of loving and forgiving a man who cannot forgive himself.

It's a testament to Ms Carlton's power as a writer that I'm actually anxious to read the third book in the series – shudders of horror, bloodthirsty redemption, and all!
For those of you who've read the Nightmares of Caitlyn Lockyer--the first in Ms. Carlton's "Nightmares" trilogy--you've only come to know one side of this fantastically thrilling drama.

Through Nathan, you come to learn a bit about the complex man that he is, albeit, one with a shady looking past. Needless to say, the first book leaves you hanging for more and to my delight, I was graced with "Necessary Evil".

NE gives the reader the insight on Caitlyn's character. Carlton definitely shows us that the woman isn't a wilted flower or some push-over. In the second instalment to the "Nightmares" series, we discover not only Caitlyn's point of view of things while she was in the hospital but also that she's quite the spunky individual. If you're looking for a weak character, you're not going to find one here.

Throughout NE, Carlton succeeds at giving us missing pieces of a puzzle without giving the entire outcome away. You'll love this as you move along to read the third and final book in this series. Why can I say this? Simply because I've read it already and you'll love the cleverness this author has used throughout all three reads which will keep you riveted from one page to the next, needless to say, from one book to the other!

As always, Ms. Carlton does not disappoint with her satisfying yet cliffhanger ending and you can darn well bet that I'll keep reading whatever this lady dishes out!
