I loved X, it was another thrill ride in this second book in the Phoenix series. Phoenix and Curt have settled in to life with their daughter Rose, living in a cottage on Phoenix's Pop Pop's property. Then the unthinkable happens, Rose has been kidnapped. Phoenix, Curt and Pop Pop will not stop until they get Rose back safe. X deals with child trafficking and pedophiles. However, it isn't graphic at all, it is insinuated. I can't wait to read the third book in the series!

An Unforgettable Sequel That Leaves You Breathless!

X catapults readers back into the gripping world of Phoenix and Curt with heart-stopping intensity.

Jafe Danbury once again proves his skill as a master storyteller, weaving a tale of relentless suspense and gut-wrenching emotion that will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. As Phoenix and Curt find themselves facing every parent's worst nightmare, the stakes are higher than ever, and the tension is evident with each turn of the page.

Sharp and gripping as ever, Danbury draws readers into a world where danger lurks around every corner and nothing is as it seems!

About the Author

Jafe Danbury

He enjoys noodling on the guitar, long road trips, likes his bacon crispy, and loves a good dive bar––especially if it happens to have a twenty-two-foot shuffleboard table. He prefers a leisurely walk to running, unless being chased by a clown with a chainsaw.
