Woohoo! Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac are back in another gripping, shocking and hard to put down installment in the Cyrus Haven series by Michael Robotham!!! I have been a fan of this series from the very first book and Storm Child did not disappoint. This entire series has been a delight, it might not always be easy to read, but man is it good!
Cyrus Haven is a forensic psychologist with a painful past, and Evie Cormac has been living with Cyrus since becoming his ward in the first book. She too has had a horrific and painful past which readers will learn more about in this book. Both characters are wonderfully developed and fleshed out. I enjoy their relationship, their dynamic and their interactions. As this is book #4 in the series, I do feel that this book would work as a stand-alone BUT you will miss out on so much character development and background history that I highly recommend starting with the first book in the series, Good Girl, Bad Girl and go from there. Trust me, you will love it!
In Storm Child, Evie witnesses the bodies of migrants wash up on the beach; one migrant, a seventeen year old. has survived. It is apparent that their boat was deliberately sunk, and Cyrus is asked by the police to help with the investigation. Cyrus can’t help but see how this bot being sunk has affected Evie.
Readers of the series will be happy to learn more of Evie’s traumatic and horrific past. This book was a riveting rollercoaster ride as the revelations kept coming. Plus, that ending!
Once again, I was dazzled by Michael Robotham’s wonderful writing. If you have not read a book he has written, you are seriously missing out.
Beautifully written, well thought out, tension, gripping and emotional.
**This book does deal with some difficult subject matter that may be a trigger for some readers such as human trafficking, rape, abuse, and PTSD
Thank you to Scribner and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
