Review: Chasing Truth (Outlasting Series Book 2) by LK Magill

Chasing Truth by L.K. Magill
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Intelligent and emotional

I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

This is the second book in a continuing series and should only be read after the first book or it won't make any sense.

I am beginning to hate this author with the burning passion of a 1000 fiery suns! Another horrendous cliffhanger!!! I feel like my heart has been squeezed and I can’t take another breath until I download the next book. ARGGHH!!!! I need to sleep!!!! To be honest this author is lucky I’m taking the time to write this review because I want to know what happened next and this is delaying me! I’m just glad the book is already out.

This book is a lot more emotional than the first with some heartbreaking miscommunications, tortuous returning memories and broken women. At the same time the cerebral quality of the first book remains. There are so many layers to this book it’s hard to describe it. This is not the simple dystopian RH series I thought it was going to be when I started. In fact it’s barely a ménage in this book, more of a triangle.

One of the reasons why this is not a typical RH/ménage book is that the reason for starting a polyandrous relationship was purely political. It was to create stability in the compound and in the end it became something else.

As you read the book you see the characters tear themselves apart because emotional relationships must take second place to survival. There is always something that is incredibly important because they are existing on a knife’s edge. There are so many missed moments of connection and explanation because something else must come first. This is a very clever plot device because it is utterly believable. It’s not tenuous or obvious it’s simply understandable and very sad.

The plot is continuing to be slowly revealed and at the same time the tension is ramping up even further as we understand more of what has been going on. We get to gain understanding as Hannah regains more snippets of memories.

This is a very intelligently written series and I still hate the author. I’m going to go and pay for the privilege of hating them some more now. There better not be another cliffhanger or I’m staying awake all night!
