My thoughts: Hello Again is the second book in the The Evelyn Talbot Chronicles Book Series. Novak has really out done herself with this amazingly romantic suspense thriller. While reading this book, I could tell that a lot of research into criminology because of the creatively graceful way the murders were described without being too graphic or disgusting. This book is very suspenseful and kept me up at night not only to read but because of the fear that was caused from this book. I had to double check to see if all the doors were locked! Normally books do not get to me like that but the shear brilliance in the writing made this book seem very real and life like. This book will not be easily forgotten. Novak also gives you the backstory into Evelyn’s past recounting and showing us glimpses of what could be in store for her future. This makes me excited for the next book. Overall, an amazingly terrifyingly suspenseful novel with a hint of romance that makes for a must read. ** I received a complimentary copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. **
