Publisher's summary

Mercy Callahan thought she'd escaped the cult decades ago, but its long fingers are reaching out for her again in this electrifying novel in the Sacramento series by New York Times best-selling author Karen Rose.

Seventeen years ago. That was the last time Mercy Callahan saw Ephraim Burton, the leader of the twisted Eden cult where she was raised. But even though she escaped the abuse and terror, they continue to haunt her.

When her brother Gideon discovers new evidence of the cult's - and their victims' - whereabouts, Mercy goes to Sacramento to reconnect with him. There, she meets Gideon's closest friend - homicide detective Rafe Sokolov. From Rafe, she receives an offer she never knew she needed: to track down Ephraim and make him pay for everything.

But Ephraim, who had thought Mercy long dead, discovers she is in fact alive and that she is digging around for the cult's secrets. And now he'll do anything to take her back to Eden - dead or alive.

Critic reviews

"Rose delivers a pulse-pounding mix of romance and terror in the no-holds-barred sequel to Say You’re Sorry...readers looking for high-octane romantic suspense won’t be able to resist." (Publishers Weekly)

"There’s lethal, heart-tripping danger, but the tender love story and powerful friendships provide a positive emotional core to this exciting thriller." (BookPage)

story about a cult

that I now need to get the next book lol I'm doing that as I type this review

Great story!

I don't know why people didn't like the narration. I thought it was very well done. Many different people but each voice was distinct. I could relate to this story because my sister was kidnapped and brainwashed by a cult. Her story is very much like Mercy's, though not as brutal. This story is very realistic for the most part and has a happy ending just like my sister had.

Slow read

the story was a little long. I thought it dragged along so slowly. good though

Hard to put down.

This was one of those rare books that I could hardly put down. It grabs you from the first chapter.

Survival and recovery

I loved Mercy's courage and truth. Finding family and trust are amazing, forgiveness of self and those who never meant hurt is a triumph.

Another great read

In my opinion, this was a great story with a very good narrator. I have no reason to criticize his narration.

excellent ☺️

love this series! just wish it was whisper sync ready. I love to read and listen together. so that was a bummer. but you can do it chapter by chapter using word search in kindle.

Excellent !!

I loved this book, it was intense, I laughed and I cried. The story is great.

Incredible!

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.
