The heart often knows what the mind can’t or won’t accept. That is what defines Tess as she is confronted with a new man in her life. Chaysing Memories: Book 2 by Jalpa Williby describes the emotional turmoil Tess faces as she completes a dangerous assignment to locate and rescue a fellow agent. Born with special abilities, Tess dreams of a man with gray eyes and comes to realize he is trying to communicate with her. After the rescue, they become closer and closer, but Tess is tormented with excruciating headaches when certain thoughts run through her mind. She knows that her friends and even her dog, Gem, know something about the time period she can’t remember and what role Chayse has played in her life, but the physical pain keeps the memories hidden. Will she remember in time to make a difference in her life and enjoy the relationship she hopes to have with the mysterious agent?

Chaysing Memories: Book 2 picks up where Chaysing Dreams left off. Even without reading book 1, however, this book provides plenty of action and exposition so that it stands well by itself. Coming to terms with emotions is the key to this book by Jalpa Williby – not only for the main character, Tess, but for her friends as well. Tess learns that thinking harder about something does not always make it clearer – sometimes you just have to trust your heart and lean on your friends. When things look darkest, you still have to look for the ray of light to show you the way through and Tess derives strength from a secret she holds close.

Chaysing Memories is the sequel to Chaysing Dreams by Jalpa Williby. It continues with Tess still being plagued with dreams about a certain gray-eyed man whom she doesn’t remember. She’s studying to be a doctor, and at the same time training to be a special agent for the US government. Her first mission will be to rescue Chayse Pierce who has been captured by an unknown group. It’s up to Tess to find and save him by getting signs from her dreams. Tess may not remember anything at all about Chayse or their past, but she can’t help but feel deep emotions for Chayse. These feelings drive her to decipher the clues immediately before it’s too late for Chayse.

Chaysing Memories is even better than the first book. Jalpa Williby put in more action and adventures, new interesting characters and more sensational twists. It was written well from the beginning until the end. I love how Tess was still in love with Chayse although she can’t remember him. I also liked how Chayse always looked out for Tess, even going as far as sacrificing himself. He is one impressive guy. I was kind of surprised with Jack and Kylie, but it was one of those sensational twists I was talking about. The plot developed well, the ending was heartbreaking but I’m still holding out hope that something monumental will happen in the third book. Still many questions are left unanswered, building the anticipation for the next book. I can’t wait to get my hands on the succeeding installment of this series.
