I have read only a handful of novels that have left me begging for more, and Second Chances is one of those. Her plot unfolds methodically, building considerable tension and emotion. He is bent on destruction, but salvation could be around the corner if only Fredrika is willing to accept his conditions and, indeed, him. Darian is truly disturbing, yet fascinating. Fredrika represents goodness and has a well-balanced strength. It examines the complexity of human characteristics and demonstrates that fate and circumstance play their part, too. Second Chances grips the reader from the outset and carries them along in a huge tide of eloquent, flowing style, intriguing characters, and heart-hammering plot.Ĭentering around two characters: Darian and Fredrika, Dannye Williamsen's novel is not merely about good versus evil. This is quite simply one of the best paranormal thrillers I have read. Well-done book! My recommendation is to read it during daylight hours. Be forewarned that there are some scenes of sexual violence, but they're not gratuitous.
The author's careful craftsmanship and imaginative plotting took me places I didn't expect to go. I'm not generally a fan of paranormal fiction, but this one grabbed me.
The author creates a world that is both engaging and frightening. Review by Leland Dirks, author of Angelo's Journey and Jimmy Mender and His Miracle Dog - 5 stars I hope that you enjoy the ride as much as I did! There is an addictive aspect to writing fiction: the high you feel from being so intimate with the thoughts and feelings of your characters, who have become totally real to you. There were times when I cried with my characters and times when I laughed with them just as I would have if they were literally in the room with me.
There were times when I was writing about the evil characters in these books that I had to take a break because their personalities were overwhelming me. My other writings are nonfiction, and I discovered that it is true there is something special about weaving a tale that is totally unique to your own imagination. Then it seemed that the second book simply flowed out of the first. Once I had a lot more writing under my belt, I went back to it and did a lot of rewriting. The battle that begins with Fredrika (Freddie) Marsh draws all those after her into a final confrontation between those compelled by their gifts to seek power in the outside world and those motivated to use them as tools to increase their inner power. "Second Chances" is followed by a sequel titled "The Threads That Bind." The characters in these two books are bound together through three generations by a common thread of paranormal abilities that can empower or destroy. It weaves a thread through every thought, every breath for generations to come." -The Book of Metanoia
