Karen Rose brings us into a world of intrigue, suspense, and revelations.

Say No More is the second installment in the Sacramento Series. The reader begins with a flashback of the heroine and her mother. From that moment on, it is a rollercoaster of intense emotion, action, and family. The characters were so rich and engaging they became a part of my reality for the hours I spent with them. I thoroughly enjoyed the family atmosphere that Karen Rose offers the reader in this book. This is definitely offered and implied in many of her novels, but in Say No More, I could feel the building love and affection that was there for one another in this book. Characters offered their love and affection in so many different ways in this novel that I was nearly brought to tears a few times. The emotion was high and the action felt real.

I was a glutton and simply greedily gorged on this book. To keep from giving away the plot line, I will only say that every piece of the novel had me engaged. I talked out loud. I screamed, which I’m sure my neighbors loved. I cackled at some of the jokes. I shouted at characters, analyzed behaviors, and wished for more. I found myself rolling my eyes and sighing every now and then. Yes, I completely interacted with this book as if I were a character myself, not that anyone listened to me, and I swear I had some pretty good ideas, LOL. Overall, I was entertained and taken on quite the journey. I look forward to the next book. I wonder what the next voyage Karen Rose’s words will provide in the next Sacramento Novel.

Joel Froomkin did a great job with the narration. He brought the story to life. What I liked most about his narration was that I was able to differentiate between characters. His intonations were spot on, and even though Karen Rose’s story was incredible, Joel’s gift of narration added to the excitement and edge the book had.
