Don't Let Me Go by Susan Lewis Review

In this follow-up to the riveting international bestseller No Child of Mine, author Susan Lewis delivers an emotionally complex novel—perfect for readers of Jodi Picoult—of reinvention, reconnection, and the deepest love that can bind two people together. Charlotte Nicholls can hardly believe it, but it seems she’s landed in paradise. Living in a cottage in a shady cove on the beautiful Bay of Islands, surrounded by the splendor of New Zealand, Charlotte revels in her new life. She and her nearly four-year-old daughter, Chloe, have started over, with the help of Charlotte’s birth mother, Anna, who has recently reentered Charlotte’s life after a twenty-six-year absence. Little Chloe is thriving in her new home, and despite lingering effects from a terrible trauma Chloe has suffered, Charlotte is hopeful that love will pull her through. And though their relationship is tentative, Charlotte and Anna are slowly rebuilding their trust after nearly a lifetime apart.  But the horrors of the past—both recent and long buried—are never far from Charlotte’s mind. And then their idyll is suddenly shattered, as a series of events is set in motion that Charlotte can neither control nor comprehend. It will take all of Charlotte’s strength to keep her little family together, in the face of a world that will do everything it can to tear them apart.

My Review:
I read the first book and reviewed it, so I had to read this one to see what happened to Charlotte and "her" kids. I was so mad when someone threatened to tell Charlotte's secret. Charlotte is the best thing to happen to her kids and she loves them like they are her own. This book is more about keeping her secrets and keeping the kids safe versus the first book focusing on escaping the abuse. As I read through the book I started to like Charlotte more and more and I wanted her to have a happy ending. I loved the end of the book. I am upset because I think this might be the last book about Charlotte. I would love to read about the kids in future books and know their opinions of Charlotte. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was giving a copy to review from Night Owl Reviews, however all opinions are my own. (I also want to mention that the abuse is graphically explained).
