Let me start by saying it is recommended Second Nature be read before One Defining Second, to avoid spoilers and get a better understanding of the characters.
One Defining Second is Dax and Rebecca's story and boy, what an exciting, emotional and gripping story it is, my heart was in my mouth for most of the plot. I really wish I could give this so much more than 5 stars, I freakin loved it!!!
We are transported back into the dark and dangerous world of human trafficking. This time with Rebecca and Dax, desperately trying to find a missing young boy, suspected of being sold into child slavery, before it's too late. I am a huge fan of D.L. Roan and simply adore her style of writing, she has a knack of drawing you into the world she has created and believing it is actually playing out in front of you. This is definitely the case with One Defining Second.
I was sucked into the horrific dangers that surround the very real, and growing, organised crime 'industry' of human trafficking, you can feel the author's passion for this running through the book. I won't lie, there is at least one scene that is quite distressing and had me sobbing, especially at the thought that this really does go on. That being so, there are some very funny scenes too which made me laugh out loud. I loved the explosive chemistry between Dax and Rebecca which had me laughing one minute and shouting out loud the next. Daayuuum, they are one hot couple!! For those who have read Second Nature, good news, Grant, Thalia & Winston make an appearance. I LOVE that monkey!
I loved Second Nature and didn't think anything would match the intensity, nail-biting tension and heart-beating-out-of-your-chest suspense but I was so wrong. D.L. Roan really upped her game and brought out the big guns with one. As with all of this author's novels, I was hooked in from the first page and kept there until the last. I absolutely loved this book and can't recommend it highly enough.
