After Danni finds her boyfriend in bed with another woman, her life has turned upside down ….

Now a stalker is obsessed with her …
He’s always watching, never showing himself, and never talks to her. The only thing he has done is make her life a living hell.
When her stalker takes his fixation to the next level by vandalizing her apartment, Nate is there to pick up the pieces and offers Danni somewhere to stay.

How can she live with a man who rejected her all those years ago, and not be able to feel anything towards him? As the heat sizzles between the two, someone else’s blood is boiling into a rage.

His obsession will lead to a death, but whose death will it be? ….


This is the second book in the series is you ant to read the first book's review Click HERE 

So as i just said this is the second book in the series of Forgotten but you don't need to have read the first book, not much is referenced only a little bit, this book follows Danni and Nate who grew up together and have had secret feeling for a long time but there was always something in the way, mainly age and insecurities. 

I have a lot of feelings about this book, I enjoyed it a lot more than the first it felt more polished, and it felt more put together but I also just liked the storyline once more, I reviewed another book very similar to this in October, called Needing Arella by Terri Anne Browning, both females didn't want to worry their family's and they instead turned into the arms of the person who rejected them. So since I read them so close together it didn't feel unique to me anymore but that is more of a personal issue with the book rather than a problem all around. 

Danni was a good main character, and she was really easy to read, same as Nate, he wasn't as Alpha as Cage in the first book but there was some underlying tones of it, the one that creeped me out was chapter 10, there is no name and it's written in italics, it's the stalker's pov and I don't know it just gave me a funny feeling and I actually guessed two people and one of them turned out to be right, and that is a good thing, I like to be kept guessing. 

The story flowed perfectly, there wasn't anytime where I was bored or thought that I wanted to put the book down and at the minute that's quite rare, it also set up the final book in this series and I cant wait to get started on that as soon as possible.
 
Again the background characters really brought this book together for me, from Danni's family and her friends and co-workers it was just really well written for the topic, and it should definitely get more recognition.
